By now, we all know that job interviews are basically a game of strategy. As a candidate who wants to win the game, all you need to do is find the best answers to satisfy the interviewer, regardless of your thoughts or feelings, and you are one step closer to securing the job. It is well established that people constantly lie in job interviews and simply say what the interviewer wants to hear, just to get the job. ‘Why do you want to work for our company?’ is an age-old question and its reply i…

We all want and need an advocate in the workplace, someone to have our backs in case other coworkers or authority figures start taking us for granted. Of course, in an ideal world, that's what human resources should be, but let's be realistic for a second. Human resources is all about protecting the company at the end of the day. Sure, they might project an image of solidarity with employees but always be careful not to be fooled by this facade. Now, this manager was against their boss's reques…

Sure, confront the person fixing the problem instead of the problem itself. That makes sense!

Much like breaking off a relationship with a romantic partner, when you decide to leave your place of work, there are bound to be lasting feelings that remain once you leave. Good or bad, you had a relationship with the people at your workplace, your coworkers and boss, and leaving them also means leaving with an impact.

If you ever got fired from a job you knew you did so well, you must have had this one thought cross your mind – ‘Fools, they made the mistake of their lives'. Meaning, as you leave the job, you know they will regret letting you go when they see just how much work isn't getting done without you. The best thing that can happen to you in this scenario, is for them to eventually crawl back on all fours, and beg you to take your job back. Sure, it is quite unlikely that something like this would hap…

When employees get fired from their jobs, they are granted the rare opportunity to reveal every single secret they learned about their colleagues while working. They have nothing to lose or gain, so they can do whatever they want with little to no consequences. Say you knew one of your colleagues was about to get fired, and then you got fired yourself. You can choose to tell that colleague that they are about to be fired, so they can at least be better prepared for the day they will suddenly fi…

"The joy as I said, 'No thanks, I'm the manager and I will never book you again.'"

Starting off on the wrong foot

Any employee who is only allowed to leave work early with managerial approval knows how great it is when that approval to dip out is granted. Yet somehow, there is always something or someone that gets in the way when those rare blissful moments do happen in the workplace.
