'They had no idea I understood every word' : Rude customers fat-shame bridal stylist in Spanish, unaware she speaks the language, leading to petty revenge

'They had no idea I understood every word' : Rude customers fat-shame bridal stylist in Spanish, unaware she speaks the language, leading to petty revenge

Unfortunately, we don't live in a perfect world, and it's human nature to make grand assumptions about people based on their appearance. One woman was styling a bride-to-be, who came in with her rude, entitled family. The bride stylist didn't exactly give the impression of someone who speaks Spanish; in her own words, she is ‘whiter than a jar of mayo’. The bride's family took her appearance as an excuse to say awful things to her face, going as far as to fat shame her. Little did they know, sh…

'I hate my job, but I especially hate it on Saint Patrick's!' : Server creates relatable Reddit thread for bitter bartenders

'I hate my job, but I especially hate it on Saint Patrick's!' : Server creates relatable Reddit thread for bitter bartenders

Saint Patrick's is the one day you don't want to work as a bartender. Not that New Year's is that much better, but still, Saint Patrick's holds first place for rowdy customers who use the celebration of Irish culture as an excuse to get completely hammered. As customers, they can be rude, loud, and most of all, sick to their stomachs, which creates a big mess. Who gets the lovely privilege of cleaning up after 'em? You, if you're a server. But the money is pretty sweet, as people tend to be pre…

'Your employee was unable to walk' : Entitled hotel guest attempts to dictate employee's life off the clock, manager puts guest on DNR list

'Your employee was unable to walk' : Entitled hotel guest attempts to dictate employee's life off the clock, manager puts guest on DNR list

Entitled people take any chance they get to make others feel like they personally work for them, and tend to be a tad controlling regarding people's personal lives. This hotel guest was aghast that a front desk employee dared go out with friends and have fun off the clock, AKA when he wasn't actually working (nor was he about to be on shift). Apparently, the employee was recognizable due to their work clothes (minus the nametag) and beard. How dare employees have a life?! The hotel guest also m…

Your day can easily be broken up into thirds: ⅓ of your day is spent sleeping, ⅓ of your day is spent running errands and keeping your life on track, and the last ⅓ of your blasted life, is spent creating spreadsheets for a nepo baby CEO who needs constant handholding to get through the workweek and is paid 10x your salary.

Relatable Work Memes for Employees With a Permanent Case of the Mondays (February 28, 2023)

Going to work is undoubtedly the lamest necessary evil in our lives. Not only are you wasting 8 precious hours each day, but you're lining the pockets of some nepo-baby CEO who's only ever worked on his yacht racing 'career' and assembling his Burning Man looks. While your boss may have never worked a day in their life, you're all too familiar with the creaking sounds of the freeway when it's commuter traffic time, that feeling when you skip breakfast because you're running late to the office,…

'Offered the same salary again': Job candidate declines role after low-ball salary offer, management comes back with a second offer... for the same amount

If, at first, you don't succeed... try, try again—except… maybe, not in the exact same way as your first failure. Shake it up a little bit. Try an attempt that was better, or at least different , than your first… This was not a concept that this recruiter understood, choosing to make the same offer for a second time after this job candidate initially had declined. Who knows what their thought process was? Maybe they were seeking to wear the candidate down in a war of attrition—make the same off…

'Not happening...': Terrible lazy coworker tries to get a reference from a frustrated former team member

We've all worked with that coworker who completely overestimates their competency, contribution, and capabilities. Whether or not they're blissfully and utterly unaware of their uselessness is never clear, but their work (or lack thereof) makes it plain to everyone else exactly how things are. Still, this person won't hesitate to tell you how to do your job as if it's their job to do so while doing seemingly everything possible to avoid doing any work of their own. I've experienced almost the e…

'Call the cops? If you insist': Guy makes a scene at the reception of job interview, leaves in handcuffs

I think it's safe to assume here that this guy did not, in fact, get the job… but—hey, job interviews are stressful experiences, and each of us handles that stress in different ways. I, personally, make it through a job interview by completely blacking out from the stress and dissociating from my body; I couldn't tell you what happens in the time that follows, what I say or do—or even who I become is completely unknown to me. Now, I wouldn't recommend this strategy for coping with interview str…

"Your own story makes me think you'd be a risk," one commenter told this entitled job-seeker . Sometimes Reddit posters on r/AmItheA****** don't give the whole story in their post, because this person has some serious issues with workplace behavior that she just brushes off. In this post, u/boasoas is asking if she's in the wrong for a situation that arose after she lost her job. Job loss is horrific, but you have to be strategic about your next moves.

Well, you stand up and GTFO of there. Stand tall, say your goodbyes, and walk on out with your head held high.
