A perfect time for a lengthy Glassdoor review.

Scrolling through LinkedIn is like scrolling through Instagram now

The interview process is a long and arduous one for both sides, really, and the last thing anyone wants is for their time to be wasted after such a long process. The relief that comes after simultaneously finally securing a role or finally having someone to fill an empty position on the team is understated, turning energies next towards developing and furthering the burgeoning relationship. While you can expect a lot of anxiety on the first day on the part of the candidate, the last thing you e…

The first day at a new job is a nerve-wracking experience. With none of the comforts of a practiced routine and familiarity, it really feels like you're totally winging it and just laying it all out there. Of course, when nerves are frayed and you're feeling jittery, it's more likely you're going to stuff something up, which is why those first-day nerves end up being rather prophetic. This worker made just about the worst first-day mistake you could possibly imagine when they accidentally poure…

"What drew you this job posting?" MONEY

"I asked for what was required of my position and did just that the remainder of my time there."

one meme at a time

"I’ve accepted (pending paperwork) so I’ll be the second lead this company has lost in as many years due to this same person."

Everyone is going to have bad days, but when your bad day is also someone's first impression of you, they're probably going to think you're just like that all the time, and at the very least, you can't blame them for being cautious in ensuing encounters with you. Similarly, when you're new, it's always best to follow the rules, whether or not those are written company guidelines or unspoken social agreements and the status quo of the existing team. Coming in and rocking the boat will earn you s…

Some people really can't take ‘no’ for an answer, and that was the case for this person who declined a job offer, only to be called multiple times by the same person who was shouting at them to turn up for their shift. But let's backtrack for a second. The person in question is called OP — OP had a second interview for a marketing position at a new firm, and the interview went well, leading to a trial shift. It became very clear that the job wasn't actually marketing at all… instead, it was doo…

You step into your boss's office, your heart hammering in your chest. This is gonna be good. Breathe in, breathe out. They'll take it well, you're sure. You say the words, watch your boss's face fall, and realize that they did not, in fact, take it well. Quite the opposite. Oh well, if they take it personally, it's their problem, you think. But then they give you the cold shoulder, act strange, and make it weird for both of you. To each their own… but why? This employee gave their two-week noti…

"When you show up for your second interview make sure to wear an enormous obviously fake mustache."

Let us discuss the concept of minimum wage. In case you didn't know, the minimum hourly wage was initially set according to the current cost of living and was meant to set the minimal bar that ensures employees would be able to afford the most basic human needs. As years went by, and costs of living grew more and more expensive, we have reached a point in which the minimum wage no longer accomplishes the one thing it was made to do. To read a story in which an employee with 20 years of experien…

Is there a company hiring for “bog witch" or can nobody live out their dreams anymore?

When you get a signed job offer, the last you would expect is that the company would retract it. After all, once you've signed, you put in your two week notice and get busy preparing for your new job. You say goodbye to your boss and coworkers and fully expect to begin on the date that was approved by your hiring manager. If things go wrong, you're going to have a problem… you have bills to pay. You can't just not work. One job candidate found themselves absolutely floored after their hiring ma…

Job interviews are such a grueling process, that it's hard not to get discouraged. Companies expect a lot from candidates nowadays and will put you through 8 interviews with different hiring managers and department heads, then give you multiple tests to evaluate your skills, and finally, reject you via an email or worse, fail to let you know about the next steps. In other words, it's exhausting, infuriating, and it doesn't give you much incentive to keep job searching, even though most of the t…
