It's called a 9-5 for a reason!

"After all, I was just following orders."

We've all come across a bizarre job advertisement on the internet that made us consider the most out-of-left-field career pivots. Perhaps you have found yourself stuck in your current industry with no sign of a promotion or upward mobility. You consider quitting on the spot but you've got rent and bills and you don't want to risk having zero income for an unforeseeable amount of time. Then, out of nowhere, you see the job posting you never knew you needed, one you never could have predicted eit…

In every industry, you are bound to find annoying people. However, some occupations are way worse at attracting bad apples than others. These folks shared what they believe to be the worst jobs for the worst kinds of people via this r/AskReddit thread, and we have a lot of questions. First, why did so many people mention nurses? This has me worried the next time I go to a hospital. On the other hand, car salesmen and real estate agents did not shock me in the slightest. Raise your hand if you'v…

You apply to college, are accepted, graduate, and then you apply and land your ideal job. You have worked your entire life for this moment, and everything appears to be going smoothly, but everything changes when you meet your manager. Everybody has had a horrible management experience once or twice in their life, and if we are being really honest with ourselves, the reason we quit our jobs was because we could not bear to be under such incompetent managers' control any longer. The following st…

The OP of the story raises a really interesting point. He dedicated countless hours to developing a new app for his company, a project that was supposed to bring in millions of dollars in revenue. So, how was he repaid? He was promptly let go. Shockingly, this isn't uncommon, as several other employees in the comment section shared similar experiences and offered advice. One worker responded, "I, too, was laid off immediately after finishing a project. Just sitting in my car with a...

This person quit their job due to a miscommunication. They thought they were about to be hired at a new place… only to realize the company didn't actually feel that certain about hiring them after all. There may come a time in your life where you despise your job so much that it's hard to go to work every day. When you start complaining about this to your friends and family, they'll eventually tell you to start looking for work elsewhere. Many people spend at least 40 hours per week on the job.…

Sometimes telling the truth doesn't set you free.

Getting fired without cause is bound to leave anyone feeling confused.

This man can't decide if he should quit peacefully or expose the toxicity.

One person asked workers to spill their “worst/ funniest/ strangest client story," and so many people had great anecdotes to share.

The hypocritical relationship that bad bosses tend to have with PTO is increasingly infuriating.

The relationship between an organization and its employees is built on a foundation of trust... breaking that trust can result in negative consequences for both parties. Employers should realize that failing to honor an employee's accrued leave can damage the morale of the remaining team and lead to a loss of trust. Eventually, this will harm the organization's bottom line—in the form of higher turnover, less institutional knowledge, and less productivity—costing far more than fronting the cost…

You really shouldn't say something that you don't mean that could cause an outcome that you don't want to someone who will happily oblige you. Retailers love to set rules and swear by them as if they had been written in stone since the dawn of time—and definitely not something they made up 15 minutes ago. These rules will blatantly disadvantage workers and be strictly enforced to the point where there is no nuance for grey-area scenarios. After all, being able to predict extremely obvious gray…

This Redditor is feeling awkward at work while serving her two-week notice.

This Redditor's 60-year-old mother didn't deserve to get fired in such a brash way.
