We've all got beef with finance bros

There aren’t many things in life that feel better than knowing you’re about to amaze a person underestimating you. Waiting quietly, letting them speak while thinking about how much fun you're going to have watching them realize they undervalued your worth. All the more when it lands you a better job and with it, more money. That’s exactly what happened to one guy at the start of his career, some twenty years ago, who had to take a test following a group interview for a tech support position at…

What advice would you give this teen?

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…

Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life.

Who says it's ever too late for a career change? In reality, we go through so much change in our lives. How can we expect to pick a career in our early 20s and be expected to love it until we retire? Sometimes, that is the case. But most times, you learn a lot of things in life that you couldn't have possibly known about yourself at a young age, and you shouldn't have to suffer at the hands of your younger self when you are, in fact, much wiser and more mature. The truth is, you can change path…

Job interviews can be nerve-wracking since, especially when you don't know what kind of person will be interviewing you. After all the hard work of job searching, updating your application materials, and researching companies, you finally get an interview. While it can be a relief to get an interview, sadly, the hard part is just beginning. If you're lucky enough to know the names of the hiring team beforehand, you can research them to mentally prepare yourself for the interview. Maybe...

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…

'When you're one whistleblower away from being caught, the sensible thing to do is to NOT antagonize people', said one commenter on a post by u/Agreeable-Key3914, who shared a story that happened many years ago, back when they were working at a pizza shop in college. People have all kinds of college stories to share, but this one is nothing like the others… I bet not a lot of people can say that they have done what this OP did. It definitely takes some courage to call welfare officials on a cow…

Your years of career expertise are no match for someone who watched three YouTube videos on the subject. Learning is a lifelong endeavor for some people. They always want to read up on new ideas and form new opinions based off what they're reading or watching at the moment. Sometimes, people think they're so educated on a topic that they know better than a person in that profession. From lawyers to healthcare professionals to software engineers , these professionals have all met ordinary folks…

Born from humility and self-doubt, imposter syndrome can strike at any time, but when you have double your salary on the line, it helps to get a second opinion.

When given the opportunity, companies will always do what is best for them, and not for their employees. Every. Single. Time. It's 'just business', they say. 'Nothing personal', they say… And you are left picking up the pieces. Getting laid off sucks, no matter how long you've been working at the company, but if there is one thing worse than simply getting laid off, it's getting laid off without notice. As shared by u/Lotus2016, they were fired, without notice, effective immediately. OP had bee…

Coworkers talk. And I am a firm believer that this is a good thing. It's your right to keep your salary to yourself, but I think there isn't anything wrong with sharing how much you make with fellow coworkers. Companies should have to deal with the repercussions of giving one employee way more than another, despite them both having the same qualifications. In this oh-too-familiar case, OP found out that they were making a whopping 16 THOUSAND dollars less than one of their coworkers, who was wo…

Sometimes telling the truth doesn't set you free.

Some say that success is the best revenge. I've often taken a similar stance of placated vengeance, where you don't need to take direct action against a person. It's said that the strongest backlash is when you are able to elevate your own self to a level that your enemy will never achieve.
