Guy sells grandma a used car, grandkids trick him into quitting his job for a fake one: 'Should have done your due diligence'

Few things are more sinister, in an everyday sort of way, than those people who try to pass damaged goods off as being without problem, preying on the trusting, unsuspecting, or unlucky in order to turn an incredibly unscrupulous profit.

Rules that aren't enforced or followed might as well not exist at all, especially when the rules aren't enacted fairly for all parties—and change at a moment's notice to favor the one making them.

'I armed a multi-million dollar financial nuke': Worker quits and goes full scorched earth on the way out

It's always a good policy in life to take the high road, but when that's not an option, the low road will do just fine—just make sure to set fire to every metaphorical bridge you might cross along the way. This full scorched earth policy isn't the way you should normally go about doing business; for one thing, it's (usually) unethical, and it's not going to make you many friends or get you very far. For that reason, you should always aim to leave things on good terms when you leave a job—you ne…
