Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the biggest red flags that hiring managers have seen on resumes. If anything, the following collection of suspect, genuinely shady resumes should serve as a gallery of what to never put on your resume. That, or these people were clearly applying for the wrong jobs.
Check out some more juicy gossip from hiring managers with this list of signs that people lied on their resumes, from hiring managers.
Now that's how you use the system against a maniacal outright toxic manager. Mike didn't know what to do. Beautiful work, really. There's also a tremendous amount of patience at play in this scenario. Sometimes you've got to wait it out to execute the perfect pro revenge. Check out another glorious tale of pro revenge with this scummy collection agency that messed with a guy's credit score.
Work isn't all that much fun, so most of us try to develop a series of shortcuts to get ourselves through the day that much faster. Sometimes these can get a bit out of hand, look ridiculous, ruin other people's good work or become a nuisance, but hey, that's the way of the laziness blade. This world is chock full of "not my job" moments of advanced laziness.
Finding a job is an annoying, stupid process that makes you rethink how you present yourself. The whole ordeal is frustrating and it feels like employers are just out to disappoint you.. That said, sometimes people do themselves a disservice by having a filthy email address or including weird and dumb achievements that raise eyebrows too high. For the ones who got a little further, here are hiring managers' biggest WTF moments during interviews.
Humans aren't perfect, so naturally we're bound to make mistakes at work. It's when we're using expensive tools, or facing ten angry customers that a really big screw-up can have some extreme consequences. In the right field of work, one misplaced screw or faulty measurement can turn into literally millions of dollars of losses. We try not to think about those.
It's stupid that almost everyone has to do something they don't particularly like most days so that they can afford to eat and live somewhere. At the same time, that's part of the deal of being alive. At least we have work memes to put some catharsis in our lives and give ourselves a chance to agree that waking up, commuting, and dealing with customers is a dumb bummer. Here's a thread about frustrating, entitled customers.
After dealing with a nightmare manager trying to force an impossible shift, this employee just said screw it and went home. Luckily, someone else saw the situation for what it was and actually made things right. It's rare but sometimes a higher up is actually sensible, like this cool CEO who fired a VP who pulled rank.
This video just brings all the good feels. Also, didn't know that Stranger Things Jim Hopper had those kind of nasty dance moves.
The biggest kicker in this ridiculous scenario is that a competent boss who was actually pulling their weight would've said just this, but then nothing would've happened because the competent boss was fulfilling the duties of their job. Unfortunately, this boss was not doing their job. So, after the employee complied the boss was exposed for not doing their job. If they'd never said anything, they would've been a whole lot better off.
Companies that put their employees through the ringer, overworking them while underpaying them, are the worst. It could be a toxic manifestation of higher-ups being so far removed from the inner-workings of the business itself that they have no appreciation for all the hard work that goes into the system, to keep it functioning. Or, maybe it's a willful blind ignorance. Either way, we love nothing more than seeing an employee fight back against a company that wronged them (and other coworkers). This woman's revenge was the definition of professional.
Man, this boss was clearly blind to their own ignorant toxicity. If you're going to hire someone and pay them double the person that is training the new person, there is clearly a monstrous hole in your logic. And then for the employee to take that well warranted concern to their boss, and have it thrown right back in their face? Get out of there with that. Fortunately, it sounds like inconsiderate boss learned their lesson.
We love a nice nuclear revenge. Especially when the character involved is a presumptuous manager who makes sweeping, wrongful assumptions about just how necessary an employee's job is to the functional flow of a company's operations. This presumptuous manager certainly got humbled.
Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the various ways that people managed to troll their bosses without actually breaking the rules. You've got to hand it to anyone that puts in the time and effort to troll someone, and manages to pull that trolling off while still playing things by the book.
