The performing art that is the job interview process can be exhausting. There are woefully unqualified and manipulative recruiters at every turn, hiding in the shadows, just itching to waste your energy and precious time. Once you make it to a first-round interview (after receiving no response to 50 other applications), you're put into the gauntlet of the interview charade where nothing matters except for charisma and the ability to feign competency. It doesn't matter a lick whether or not you'…

2022 may have been the year of quiet quitting. What are the takeaways for this year?

We love when an unqualified hiring manager tells you that you're unqualified!

Shoutout to this CEO for taking zero accountability!

Life is like a box of chocolates — you never know what you're going to get! Sometimes you expect a Christmas bonus and, instead… get a box of chocolates! That's what these workers experienced when the new owners of their company decided to forego the usual Christmas bonus that the previous owners had offered, which coincided with also not paying them for working Christmas itself. Instead, they provided the disgruntled workers with a box of chocolates and the promise that at least the workers wo…

There are plenty of excellent presents for a boss to give to an employee, but one boss screwed up this simple task so badly that his employee decided to quit . The OP shared their story to r/antiwork, and revealed the entire story behind their decision to leave. As the OP tells it, they were bringing in plenty of cash for the business, generating over a million dollars in commissions during their time at the company . But after being given a truly unthoughtful present, the OP decided to leave,…

There's often a lot of anxiety that comes with the decision to quit your current job and start a new one. We're creatures of habit and comfort by nature, so thrusting yourself into the unknown isn't easy. So many uncertainties come with a new job that you can't help your imagination wander into wild territories. Will the new job be worse? What will my new boss be like? Will I be any good at my new job? Will I fail catastrophically? Will I regret leaving? It's safe to say that, despite these fea…

It's 2023 and our complaints about work are still going strong!

This diner worker brewed a coffee-fueled tale of malicious compliance!

One Redditor has a nosy boss who's about to get way more sass than they bargained for!

Here's a friendly reminder that when you're off the clock, you don't owe anyone anything!

This employee was accused of claiming hours they had not worked, with the employer demanding repayment of the supposed wages under the threat of lawsuit. The employee, Reddit user u/disappoint-mint, turned to this popular Reddit subreddit in order to seek advice and share their story. They posted their story to the popular Reddit subreddit r/antiwork in a thread titled “I was fired am being told I need to repay $1,100." This

Bosses are always a pain when you're late, but when they're late, it's totally fine!

Sometimes enough is enough, and you simply cannot take anymore… It sounds like this is exactly what happened with this guy's niece with her job at the accounting firm. These sorts of workplaces have a reputation for being "old boy's clubs," so it's no surprise that they continue to harbor relics of a past age who continue to live their lives as if they're within the pages of a "Mad Men" script. It's honestly disappointing how prevalent these types of attitudes are. This guy's niece absolutely s…

Karen should have minded her own business!

You know that feeling when you have to work between Christmas and New Year's...
