There is nothing more frustrating in a job search than being dragged through an entire interview process only to be given a ridiculously low offer in the end. You would think this scenario could be avoided if the job candidate is transparent from the start about the kind of salary they are currently making and the kind of salary they would like to make in the new position. However, that is exactly what this Redditor did and they were still completely fooled by their recruiter. Of course, in thi…

When you're walking into an interview, it's always best to have done your research. Be prepared with some strong questions you might have that demonstrate your interest in the role and organization, and, of course, have some understanding about the role and industry you could find yourself stepping into. Doing otherwise would be like stepping into a boxing match with one hand tied behind your back, metaphorically speaking. And when you're interviewing with an employer, you're already taking the…

The fact that this employee has managed to pull off this arrangement for over a decade is a remarkable achievement for slackers everywhere. Seriously, if he continues to make this situation work out, this dude might retire nicely one day after collecting a paycheck for doing nothing for the majority of his professional life. That might not be everyone's dream. Heck, it might not even be my own. However, you have to hand it to this guy for coming this far. At this point, you may be wondering wha…

Rules usually exist for a reason. Generally, they come into being because someone did something and learned the hard way that the way they chose wasn't the way that it should be done, so it's decided that this way should never be attempted again by either them—or those surviving them—depending on how poorly their attempt went. There is another type of rule, though, and these rules are generally made up by a bored busybody middle manager on a random Wednesday afternoon because they need somethin…

Being accused of doing something nefarious when you've turned up to help out really isn't an ideal situation, especially when that person won't let you get a word in edgewise to clarify the situation. That's why it's hard to fault this worker for up and turning around at the first chance. This supermarket worker used to work for a large supermarket chain and would occasionally head off to other locations to help them with staffing issues when they were asked. But, one day, they were asked to wo…

Let's be clear: the reason why this employee had to come in was not because of their negligence but because of the manager's. It doesn't matter where you work, whether it's retail or for the government. If you get sick, as all human beings do once in a while, you should be entitled to a day off without repercussions of any kind. However, there are still some managers out there with backward moral standards who believe that rallying despite feeling sick is a greater display of strength. We shoul…

In a cold sweat, you wake from your sleep, flailing wildly for your phone. Light is peaking through the edges of the curtains, and birds chirp pleasantly just on the other side of the window behind them. You feel rested—suspiciously, well-rested for the amount of sleep that you should have gotten. You must have slept through your alarms… but surely not. After all, you set five of them. Yet, all the indicators are there… and you should have been up long before the birds if you were going to make…

This company laid off a bunch of people , and the remaining employees are not thrilled about the downsizing decision. No employee wants to be part of a company that's a sinking ship. If the business you're in starts downsizing and letting people go, it can create a ripple effect. The remaining employees will be walking on eggshells around their bosses, not knowing if they'll be the next to go. And with their coworkers leaving a gap in production, some people are sure to be burdened with additio…

They say the best revenge is achieving personal success, but sometimes it's more than that… It's the pathway to it. After all, performing well above requirements isn't always going to win you friends and is more likely to put a target on your back for everyone who is just there to earn a paycheck and who you're making look bad in comparison. See, when you prove what's possible to an employer, they start wondering why everyone else isn't being as productive as you are and are bound to start aski…

This boss was surprisingly candid about how he felt about his employee. All and it cost him was $50,000! Plumbers can make great money in their professions. It's one of those fields that will always be a necessity, since many people can't fix clogged pipes or water leakages on their own. This guy shared that they began working for a plumbing company near them, expecting to make a decent wage. But within a few months, they realized that their boss was paying them on commission, as well as just b…

Apparently, this company didn't know how much power their system administrator had before they started playing mind games. No matter how professionally you act, you just won't get along with every single person in your workplace. It's not an issue if you just have an ongoing random feud with your coworker in another branch of the company because he keeps stealing your parking spot, for example. But it becomes a little trickier to navigate when you and your boss don't get along. Especially in th…

Toxic managers have one thing in common: Their belief that their authority is absolute . It's almost as if they think it's impossible for anyone ever to leave them, acting like workers will continue to put up with the most dreadful working conditions and their abhorrent behavior for the rest of their careers. So, of course, they're completely blindsided when their most pivotal workers hand in their notice, with the news sending them scrambling to figure out how they're going to maintain the con…

If you like to procrastinate at work, definitely be sure to check who's looking over your shoulder. Look, we all have to be honest with each other, bosses and employees included. We all need to take breaks at work. It's literally impossible to always be working. If you dare to think otherwise, you obviously aren't capable of recognizing that the quality of your work has likely suffered as a result of going non-stop for over eight hours a day. Now, for those of you who are able to procrastinate…

These employees were totally baffled by their CEO's recent decision. At least according to their update, they got some amazing results from a bad situation. U/ACFF has an amazing story to tell the r/ MaliciousCompliance community. It involves their bosses making a major change to their jobs, without realizing what they were actually doing. This happens so often with CEOs who barely do their job. Even though they make millions of dollars per year, some c-suite execs barely ever make it into the…

Some business leaders prioritize sales above all else, offering hefty incentives to their sales teams for acquiring new clients at unserviceable rates. These leaders and their cronies will then cash out once the numbers have been sufficiently plumped up like a stuffed pig with an apple in its mouth. The nightmare begins when it comes time to service these contracts. Inevitably, slowly, the organization will begin losing money but, by then, those responsible will already have their bonuses in ha…

You know it's going to be a juicy discussion when the user has deleted their account within hours of posting a viral thread… This worker landed themself a new job, working remotely , that offered them higher pay and greater responsibility. They found themself with little to do initially, which they found to be a little strange, but seeing as this isn't uncommon in a lot of jobs, which often allow workers to ease into their role, leaving additional tasks to be picked up as the worker gets into t…
