"I know not all posts here have happy endings, so I figured I’d share this one for the holiday season!"

In every job, there is a red line that once crossed, it becomes crystal clear that you should not spend another minute in that place of work. Most employees might be willing to push through a lot of nonsense for the sake of their job, but they all have a limit, and when that limit is crossed, it is time to move on. The employee in this Reddit story was willing to put up with 60 hours of work per week, working weekends and nights, delayed raises, and many other red flags. The red line was when t…

No is a full sentence. Even if you mean well and fully plan to help someone else, if they tell you 'no', you just have to respect them and accept it. The response to this Reddit story was split between people who judged the struggling driver's decision to decline the help she was offered, and people who thought this petty act of revenge was actually pretty stupid. So let's back up to explain it properly, and you can tell us who you think is wrong. This man, who is called Luigi in the story, was…

Sometimes, not only is the grass not greener on the other side, but it is actually much more brown, and that is the case when it comes to the neighbors in this Reddit story. Of course, we do not mean the actual quality of the grass of the two neighbors' backyards in the story, we mean the quality of the people involved. Despite envy being a strong human emotion, many people find themselves grateful that they are not like their neighbors, especially when those neighbors act entitled and downrigh…

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…

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. Sometimes, similarly to a romantic relationship, that impact may inspire people to take action, just like an ex who decided to call their former loved one. In our case, the for…

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…

Cook for yourself, then!

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…

"Normally, I’d do it my usual way—efficiently and with a bit of common sense."

They left her everything for a reason.

No one is going to agree on everything, and when it comes to a game where almost everything is in part determined by imagination, what you imagine might not be in line with everyone else at the table. As with anything in life, inevitably, personalities, ideas, and preferences will clash, and it's all down to tolerance and an ability and willingness to go with the flow. Not being set in your own ways and ideas just makes everything easier, even if everything isn't exactly the way you want it. Th…

Well, that's one way to send a message!

The proof is right there...

Slow and steady wins the race
