Your first focus should always be your family. Having said that, how would you respond if you started to suspect that your family is taking advantage of your goodwill and generosity? The story below is an account of a frustrated daughter. The original poster (OP) moved to the US in order to advance her career. Since leaving her home country, she has been sending money to her parents as a token of appreciation for all of their support throughout the years. Though initially everything was well, t…

"After that every morning when Bessie comes in she throws her tantrum screaming about how lazy young people are, no one wants to work, all the usual boomer greatest hits."

When there are changes in management at a workplace, the whole vibe can suddenly shift. A new manager can change a workplace without even trying, although, as these people shared, a lot of managers try their hardest to act in charge at their new place of business. While we're on the subject of hiring new people, read about the HR folks who were surprised by these odd resumes, like one person whose “ resume had a skills sectio n...only thing listed was ‘calculator.'”

Trust that the employee knows how to do their job.

"I had exceeded legal driving time [so] they had to make sure I went home early for a few days." WIN!

“Apparently, she tried to use me leaving early a lot as a reason that I should be fired, BUT SHE WAS THE ONE WHO WAS TELLING ME TO LEAVE EVERY DAY.”

"I explained to them that I was only staying on until the next crew relieved me and I had sufficient time to brief the incoming crew per the corporate policy [that] the hotel must be manned 24/7."

Jojo Siwa, Chappell Road, and Taylor Swift sure have plenty to say about karma, but don't we all? The funny thing about karma is that you really can't predict when it's going to strike. For instance, how many times have we all witnessed someone driving recklessly on the road without any legitimate consequences for their actions? Because of this fact, we have to embrace when karma does come back around to haunt the entitled people of this world. So the next time you see a selfish driver avoiding…

"[He] is now scrutinizing my current management for them hiring me."

What would we ever do without our silly precious pets to cheer us up? If you own a pet , you already know how much they can brighten your life. Your pet always wants to see you, because you're their favorite person. Your cat probably wants to snuggle 24/7 because they're obsessed with you. Your dog probably always wants to play catch or snore loudly next to you on the couch. And, as you'll definitely know if you've had a pet, they are not always the brightest bulbs. Some animals are really, rea…

The entitlement of some people continues to bewilder innocent onlookers who are just trying to go about their daily lives. We have distinguished two traits that characterize entitled persons. They are, first and foremost, fierce and tremendously confident in their own righteousness. The story below is an account of a frustrated hotel guest. The original poster (OP) had just returned from a luxurious vacation. One of the hotel amenities available to OP is the buffet. One evening as he looked ove…

In this world, there are two types of people. The former is a rule-abiding individual who tries to stay out of trouble, while the latter is a troublemaker who is constantly seeking out the next adventure. The story below is an account of a frustrated neighbor. The original poster (OP) has lived in the same neighborhood for a considerable amount of time. Everything was going great at first, but when the mail worker knocked on the door, things quickly spiraled out of hand. Before OP knew it, he w…

If you've ever daydreamed about quitting your terrible job, consider this your sign to find a happier career path. There are a few different ways one can quit a job . The proper, respectable way is to write out a professional letter stating that this is your two-week notice. But the folks replying to this r/AskReddit thread couldn't stand to work at their awful jobs for another moment. They took the less professional but way more satisfying route of rage-quitting right on the spot. As you can r…

Imagine doing such a poor job on your first day of work that the company asks you not to return for day two! Just imagine how hard you'd have to try to mess up in order for that to happen. Well, roughly 12,400 people didn't have to imagine, because they knew of someone who was so wrong for the gig that they were fired on day one. There's a lot of debate about whether or not you should lie on your resume. Apparently lots of people do, and they just hope they won't get caught by HR or their boss.…

“The documentation needed his specific knowledge and a set of reports that were saved on his company-issued laptop, which had been returned and promptly wiped after his departure.”

Every now and then, bosses will ask their employees to do something that gives them pause. Something so strange or out of their ordinary purview that the employee has to consider if they should just walk out of the room and pretend the conversation never happened. Up next, these hotel gaffes left customers steaming mad, like one person who discovered a note of horrors that said, “If you're reading this note, they didn't change the sheets .”
