If you're conducting an interview via text messaging and want to complain about something being unprofessional, oh boy, do you have a rude wake-up call ahead of you. When u/Coconut_Groove posted their details to an online recruitment service, they were contacted by this hiring manager who was looking to recruit for a position. The position was offering to pay $9.95 an hour in Montana, which has a lower than $10 minimum wage. u/Coconut_Groove knew they weren't going to be interested in the posit…

This job candidate was quick to turn heel and bolt when it became abundantly clear that the interviewer had been intentionally misleading in their description of the role. The role had been advertised as being remote work when it was actually “hybrid," requiring some attendance to an office space. To top it off, the interviewer even admitted that they had advertised it as such in order to increase the pool of applicants. As I've often described (and recently discussed) job interviews are a perf…

This viral thread saw readers voicing their support for this worker who managed to find themselves a new role that offered a 30% increase in pay.

The ONLY solution for working retail.

When this employee missed work due to a serious chronic illness, management called a meeting because they were “Seriously concerned.” It wasn't the employee's well-being they were concerned about. Oh no, they were concerned with a decrease in KPIs and other performance metrics.

This employee was accused of committing wage theft when they clocked in for “hour-long” meetings. As commenters have noted, there is wage theft happening here, but the boss is confused about who is the one doing the thieving. This thread was trending after it was posted to the r/antiwork subreddit this week and has earned 10k upvotes. The poster, Reddit user u/DannoWhamo, was the one who posted the topic regarding this experience that they had at work. They noted that they were “Tired of spendi…

Redditor and r/antiwork subscriber u/usedallmypowerups posted this story to the popular subreddit today. r/antiwork is a subreddit that has been gaining huge momentum on Reddit as the “Great Resignation" goes into full swing.

Sounds like a good solution.

When u/Tigerdragon180 was working for a large firm as a contractor for the IT department, his experience was one that people often have within a giant, bloated corporate behemoth. The managers were unreliable, the expectations were too high, and the company had an odd culture “That tried to sell more work as being a sign of praise rather than pay you to do the more work." That sounds like something that the owner or CEO thought of one day when they were sitting on the toilet, and all the “Yes M…
