When you're mistaken for an employee at a store, nine times out of ten, you're probably dealing with a Karen. But every so often, it's an honest mistake and the story wraps up with a wholesome ending.

All this over a screw?

With more experience comes more opportunities and better pay… Unless you're a contractor, who was ghosted by a client at the start of the pandemic that has suddenly rematerialized and requested your services once again. You might expect that you'd be receiving at least the rate that you were on previously—although it might be foolish to make this assumption without getting it in writing—and return to working at that rate. That's what happened when this healthcare contractor, u/Kind-Designer-576…

Pretty please?

The working relationship is built on respect, and that respect should go both ways. Unfortunately, this isn't always the case, with some owners, executives, and managers seeing themselves as destined for greatness and, therefore, better than the rabble they employ. It's surprising and disappointing how prevalent this attitude and behavior is today—probably because it's still being encouraged by the executive-level relics from the 80s and their sycophants who worship their every move. But, contr…

Who is responsible when writing a paycheck goes wrong ? This person, u/Fair_Blueberry_4706, told a story of a woman she knows. They met through an online community, and the OP was surprised to see “Kevina” asking for donations. Why? She was apparently paid several paychecks that weren't hers . Instead of returning it to her employer, this Kevina decided to take advantage of the situation. Apparently, she also didn't consider what would happen if her newfound paychecks got taken from her. So now…

Moral of the story: don't give your boss more information than what's necessary.

There are ways to inspire people, but this is not it!

Clearly, not all recruiters are born great.

Sometimes, giving someone a taste of their own medicine is the only way to deliver your message

To work in retail, you've got to have thick elephant skin because boy are you gonna meet some pretty tough customers. Your patience will be continuously tested, and the levels of dumb you'll encounter in a day will surpass anything you could have possibly imagined. These two Karens thought they could outsmart a quick-witted employee who caught on quickly to what they were doing. Using the self-checkout counter, they attempted to walk out with half of the things they had in their cart before act…

Are you already on your fifth cup of coffee and it's only 10am? After what always feels like a short weekend, that sweet bean juice is all that can boost your spirits. Although there are some days, despite coffee's best efforts, that you're still dragging.Although there are some days, despite coffee's best efforts, that you're still dragging. It's probably because your work is futile and even though they promised you a "fast paced environment", time comes to a standstill the moment you clock in.

We all know that employers can be ruthless during the hiring process, but this hiring manager made it clear just how ruthless they can be.

Minimum wage? No thanks. This teen is ready for a 6-figure job! A boss at one shop shared their experience while hiring for an entry-level position , which ended in hilarity after this teen's highfalutin request. They wrote to r/EntitledPeople to share their tale. The OP was only looking for a teen to clean up around their mechanic shop, adding that teens don't usually stick around for long. It seems like it's a starter job for most teens – but then the OP interviewed this dude, who didn't take…

Here is yet another story where boundary setting led to wrongful termination!

Starting a new job can be as nerve-wracking as it is exciting. So many new doors open before you lead to new opportunities, which can bring a lot of uncertainty with it. Of course, those new doors won't lead anywhere at all if you show up on your third day to find them padlocked shut with a notice on the door… That's what happened to this poor job-seeker, Reddit user yelloworange01, who shared their experience in a post to the popular r/antiwork subreddit, a community that deals with all kinds…
