Companies and institutions around us like to impose inconvenient rules for dumb reasons. Companies will make you wear uncomfortable hats. Colleges will make you comply with unfair printing fees. It's a minor, but meaningful success when you can get revenge within the rules and beat them at their own game.

Sometimes you and a job just aren't meant to be. From that revelation it's up to you whether or not you want to quit the job in style. 

A woman working HR asked Redditors in a recent AITA thread, whether or not she was a jerk for wanting to reject a qualified candidate on the grounds that this person hooked up with her cheating ex-fiancé. Sounds like a solid case of conflict of interest, and that everyone would be best served moving forward down separate paths. Can't imagine this hiring would make for a healthy workplace environment. 

Learn from these people's regrets, as you read through stories about their experiences with brands and restaurants that left them feeling like NEVER using their services again.

I want to take a moment to commend her for returning the coat hanger too. That alone is a green flag for a company considering hiring her! 

Sunny Delight hit the Twitterverse with a rather somber Tweet. It would seem they found themselves in a dark place, temporarily robbed of the sunshine, warm light, and love of life. Fortunately, competitor brands, seized the moment to put aside differences, and step up to put on a show of positive support for Sunny Delight, to pick their heads up. So well, here we are, finding ourselves with a faith in humanity temporarily restored.

Gotta love the monstrous confidence of a wildly ignorant internet. Good 'ol James was just trying his best....

Keep your eyes peeled for these toxic red flags in the workplace, that'll ultimately attack your mental health. Consider the following a nice little warning guide...

Sometimes you just say that one thing that brings with it the unavoidable reality of your ass getting fired. On. The. Spot. Let us learn from these employees, and their mistakes. That being said, there are definitely some shituations in here, where the companies/managers they were working for were the real problem. A solid spread of dysfunctional going on in this lot. 

Most everything gives in under the weight of time eventually. Not so sure about that tobacco one though. Money seems to be a driving force behind keeping even the most toxic of things around longer than they should be...
