They took the third option.

Redditor u/Red_Beard47 shared their experience when they went in for what would become the worst job interview of their life. This comment stood out to us when we were putting together this three-part series of the worst job interviews people ever had. So in a way, this is an unofficial part IV. So many comments on that thread deserved to be their own post. Commenters shared their reactions to the story and even shared their own stories. “Good idea you walked out of the interview. It would've b…

Thanks to the advice they received in their original post this chef avoided a terrible meet-up.

Very nice! Great success!

A teacher gave notice and was swiftly fired by a vindictive principal, who then wanted access to their teaching records. The teacher taught a night class part-time “just for some extra cash.” They taught this class for a few days every week in addition to their full-time role and the local high school. They report that they enjoyed their time at this school until a new principal came on board. After handling constant nitpicking about insignificant things, they had had enough. The teacher, Reddi…

Not the most mature reaction...

This worker got a verbal warning for taking a bathroom break which then led to being served a disciplinary action form for wasting time. They've taken to the popular r/antiwork subreddit with a photo of the post to share their experience and seek advice. Amidst the usual r/antiwork comment menagerie a user claiming to be an employment lawyer, u/Older_Wiser_Maybe responded. “Employment lawyer here: First, Only one of the instances referenced in the disciplinary action has to do with a bathroom b…

This job candidate was quick to turn heel and bolt when it became abundantly clear that the interviewer had been intentionally misleading in their description of the role. The role had been advertised as being remote work when it was actually “hybrid," requiring some attendance to an office space. To top it off, the interviewer even admitted that they had advertised it as such in order to increase the pool of applicants. As I've often described (and recently discussed) job interviews are a perf…

Imagine getting fired from your position only to then receive texts enquiring as to the status of certain aspects of your role. Well, Redditor u/ScooterBobb didn't have to imagine this as this bizarre scenario became a reality for them after their boss texted them trying to figure out whether or not they had placed orders and conducted an inventory for the coming week. The original poster submitted screenshots of the text to both the r/kitchenconfidential and r/ antiwork subredddits. Both threa…

It was the snack that broke the camel's back.

An employee closed with their manager, who said nothing out of the ordinary to them but sent an email 20 minutes later telling them that they were being let go from their position.

This story of malicious compliance was posted to the r/maliciouscompliance subreddit by Redditor u/Public_Pressure_4516, who shared the story of their compliance. “I wish corporate and HR would look into why so many employees are leaving,” commented Proud_Positive_2998. "But we had the same thing where I worked and both hid their heads in the sand." “Sadly, it's become a fact of life that there will always be 'attrition rates',” replied Andravisia. “They just budget for it, rather than making a…

Commenters explained that the current job market will be causing multiple instances of this to happen as older employees miss out on the more competitive rates new hires are earning. Others shared their own experiences. “As someone who's also worked in a handful of machining shops, good on you," commented Satirical0ne. "Many places these days will try to screw you if you let them and then try to dangle the job in front of your face. I'm glad to hear that you were able to find somewhere to pay m…

That's just coercion...

This employer is doing something right!

Commenters say she was fired shortly after this went viral.
