Not making a good first impression

It's a tale as old as time. You have the perfect job at a small company, everybody manages their workload well, and things are going smoothly. Then, the company finally gets bought out by a larger one, and a new CEO enters the picture. What follows is a seismic cultural shift with new expectations, responsibilities, and rules. This thread was posted to Reddit by RevolutionFriendly56 , who shared their side of the story after their new CEO decided to lecture everyone about loyalty and staying bu…

We all have paranoia about sharing our locations with friends and family indefinitely. What if a friend finds out I'm at a party they weren't invited to? What if my mother sees that I'm home and therefore thinks it's ok to pop by? These are all valid concerns that are worthy of strong consideration before agreeing to share your location with someone in your life. Now, imagine that the stakes were higher and the person requesting that you share your location with them is your boss. Wouldn't you…

In a company with unlimited PTO, you'd think taking a day off would be a no-brainer. But for one woman working in engineering, every time she takes a well-deserved break, there's this one coworker who's always quick to make a comment about it in front of everyone. Her coworker seems to think that unlimited PTO is a personal challenge to his work ethic, and he’s not shy about making it known. Especially on company-wide meetings.

Imagine getting told by your boss that you're too expensive for your job and then costing them way more money to fire you. Let this story serve as a warning sign for some of the higher-ups out there that firing someone just might end up with more expensive consequences than keeping that person onboard. Here , we have a Technical Director at a company in Southern Europe who managed to get full compensation for a year after his dismissal before signing on to work for his former company's biggest…

Most people would not be helping out their neighbors if they came to ask for something. We've all found ourselves in need of something that we didn't have and had no way of getting and ended up having to knock on someone's door and ask for their help. So whether it's asking for a glass of milk, an egg, or even a ladder, we've all landed a helping hand at some point or another. However, some requests are going a bit too far, which might lead us to say ‘no’ to people when they come knocking at ou…

No, potential employer: none of us are “normal.” Here is yet another example of why recruiters and human resources folks should simply not be allowed free rein to ask whatever they like. In an ideal world, job applications should be solely about one's resume and qualifications, and there should be an equal exchange of information. That means that on the other side, there should be transparency about expectations, salary, benefits, and workplace culture. I suppose the fact that the question of “…

When you are a kid, there are many things adults do that just seem impossible for your little brain to comprehend. How do adults understand every road sign they see while they are driving? How do they know where to go when they are abroad? How do they pay taxes? How do they buy a house? Granted, as a 26-year-old woman, I still have absolutely no idea how adults do most of the stuff they do, and I am sure I am not the only one. How really does one even begin the process of looking for a house to…

There is nothing like a Karen ruining a gas station pit stop experience! Picture this: you're on a long road trip and it's time to make a brief trip to the gas station so you can fill up your car and grab some snacks. These trips should, in theory, be quick and painless, but leave it to the Karens of the world to make the experience completely and utterly insufferable. For starters, this Karen assumed that another customer was the gas station attendant. Now, he clearly did not work there, espec…

Even though ‘vlogging’ has become a popular career path for many people, it does not mean we should overlook the dangers and red flags this so-called profession poses. Filming your life does not permit you to do whatever you want, and becoming ‘internet famous' has many cons alongside the pros, so this career might not actually be as glamorous as it might appear. Parents who decide to share their kids' entire lives on the internet, should definitely not be allowed or accepted, especially when t…

This Karen parked in a spot that was clearly designated for wheelchair users and did not have a placard. She was not a wheelchair user herself but felt that her proximity to the entrance of the local grocery store was more important than someone who actually deserved the right to that spot. When another shopper noticed her little bending of the rules, they decided it was worth an extra 20 minutes to ensure that her shopping experience was a nightmare. The Redditor then embarked on a mission to…

Going out of one's way to deny healthcare workers overtime pay seems pretty outrageous, right? Well, it seems to be happening, thanks to the operational management of this hospital , where a group of overworked nurses were expressly pressured not to clock out even a minute beyond the end of their shift. Does it matter if they need to finish processing important paperwork? No. Does it matter if they should be responsible for checking up on a few more patients before the end of the day? No. Does…
