Without a doubt, the most soul-sucking industry in the world is customer service. You get firsthand access to the portion of the human population that hasn't quite evolved yet. The ones who lack an alarming amount of brain cells. Those with a very low IQ. The chunk that thinks they are God's gift to the world. Lord knows I don't miss it... I offer my sincere condolences to those of you that are still in this daily fight. There are too many human beings, strutting about with their nose high up i…

You should always treat other people with dignity and respect; otherwise — well, they just won't like you very much. That's fine; not everyone needs to like you (and not everyone will), but when these people are also privy to your shady business dealings, and later go on to make decisions for other organizations as to whether or not that organization should be doing business with you, you shouldn't be surprised when they tell the other organization that they had better keep well clear. Whether…

There is no shortage of delusional and angry people in this world, and when you're working retail it can sometimes feel like all of them have decided to visit you on the same day.

Woe to those who encounter a Wild Karen in their lifetime. If you've ever entered a Wallmart or a fast food restaurant such as Mcdonald's, you'll find that it's basically unavoidable. We often find ourselves wondering… what goes on in a Karen's mind when things don't go their way? How does their brain scan look? And where the heck did they get the courage (or rather, audacity) to approach others in such an entitled fashion? We may never have the answers to all these important questions, but we…

Working in the service industry has so many curves and dips, it's a chaotic job to say the least. You have Karen customers yelling at you left and right, you have inexperienced and yet entitled managers getting hired, and sometimes just the strangest things happen. For instance, you could be casually waiting on a table when all of a sudden you witness a man cheating on someone he's literally eating dinner with right that second. So what do you do?

At what point is lost stock value worth more than the last shreds of dignity and morale of your workers? Unsurprisingly, for many employers, the answer to that question is “Greater than $0.” Anyone who has worked in retail has experienced an employer who insists any and all missing stock must be the result of theft. It's a really enlightening conversation to have with an employer that reveals how that employer truly feels about their employees beneath the facade of family and pizza parties. I'v…

When Karens go full Karen, their tantrum is even worse than a terrible-two-year-old's. So why stoop to their level? Don't let the hate from entitled and rude customers get you all worked up and yelling at someone who obviously doesn't have the capacity to own up to anything. One man recently shared his technique in dealing with Karen customers without having to stoop to their level and it is absolutely genius.

What should you do if you miss a scheduled appointment? Apologize? No! That would be far too simple… Attempt to gaslight them into thinking it was actually their fault instead?.. Now you're thinking!

In life, there will always be people you don't get along with perfectly. For the most part, people tend to keep the peace and not destroy relationships. But as these people below shared, when someone no longer has power over your life, it can be the perfect time to gloat! On the r/askreddit sub, the question was posed: What was the best "you have no power here" moment you have ever seen? And people sure had some entertaining answers! Their tales of sweet sweet revenge against their parents and…

Sometimes you can't help but wonder if corporate executives have ever looked past their most recent board room meeting; they seem to repeatedly make illogical decisions based on new half-baked policies that really only hurt the business in the long run. Usually, it's as simple as the fact that someone decided something once, and that's just the way it's going to be forever. It can also be because something is easier on the books, and therefore that's the way it's going to be even if it actually…

LinkedIn is a really strange social media site, because people take themselves deadly seriously - after all, this is their career they're talking about! Some folks seem to love posting just to boost their own ego or hype up their most recent accomplishments. But a lot of the time, it turns into oversharing, bragging, or straight-up lying, just to gain some clicks and “good for you!” comments. Below are 20 people who

People love to drink with their coworkers because it combines two parts of their lives that are always in conflict: professionalism and acting completely unprofessional. It is a truly deadly combination when fellow employees are fueled by alcohol. It's an even more huge debacle waiting to happen when that booze is provided by their employer and nobody has to pay for anything. Ergo the annual office Christmas party . As the most devastatingly inappropriate spectacle of the year, every business's…

It's remarkable how shocked Karens get when they get a taste of their own medicine.

This boss is going to make those final weeks a nightmare.

Talk about going out with a bang!

When a casual night at work usually ends up with you having to wrestle somebody and getting several shots poured on you, you're obviously going to have a lot of crazy stories to share. That's the case with a bouncer who takes to her TikTok to recall some of the most annoying nights she's had to work as a bouncer at a club. Most recently she shares the story of how she had to kick out a man for so many reasons. First of all, he was inappropriately bothering a woman. He was pretty obviously on so…
