Employees who decide to quit their terrible jobs often face the dilemma of – on what terms do they want to leave said jobs? Sometimes, all you want to do is tell your soon-to-be former manager just how awful it was working for them, and air out all the reasons they made you hate the job. However, you might not want to burn any bridges and leave on bad terms, because you never know when you might run into those people again, or if you ever find yourself in need of something from them, so saying…

Anyone who worked in retail or any customer service job knows that the sentence – ‘The customer is always right’ could not have been further from the truth. Not only is the customer not always wrong, but the customer is often very very wrong. The real meaning behind this sentence is that you should make the customers feel like they are always right, so they will end up leaving the business happy, but that is not an easy task to do, especially when what the customer asks for is against policies…

What would you have chosen if you had to choose between fighting for what is rightfully yours and keeping your job? This might sound like a terrible choice to make, and it is, but unfortunately, many employees have to make that choice whether they like it or not. Imagine you discovered that your company has made a mistake in your paycheck and has been paying you less than you deserve for over 7 months. Even after the company admitted to the mistake, they still refuse to pay you back for the 7 m…

"They've clearly brought this on themselves with heavy irresponsible water use."

Surely we've all had that inner conflict between being kind to others and being true to ourselves, and it's hard to find the right balance between the two. On one hand, you want to do good and help other people however you can, while on the other hand, that help can come with a price, a price that you might not feel ready to pay. The couple in this story bought a secluded house because they wanted as much privacy as they could get, and they were pretty happy about their purchase. That was until…

"I seriously can't, I've had nightmares about this guy trying to open the **** front door."

"‘Per our conversation on (that date), you advised me to find other employment so I did.’"

There is a right way to ask people for favors, and a wrong way, and there is absolutely no reason for you to go the wrong way. If you want the favor you're asking to actually get done, then the only way to go is the right way, which is really not that hard of a concept to comprehend. Take the neighbors in this Reddit story as an example. OP (original poster) rented a dumpster after they got work done in their house, meaning they paid for a large container to throw away all the trash they had fr…

"He screamed, I mean screamed, ‘You agreed to work on this project weeks ago!’ I repeated his words verbatim."

"She said ‘No way. I was texting, and just as I put down my phone, the light was green.’"

No matter how awful your job might be, you should take comfort in the fact that you do not have to look for one. It seems like every time we hear about the job market and the chances of securing a job these days, it just keeps getting worse and worse. If you are looking for a job currently, take comfort, as this story might give you some tips on how to properly secure a job. OP (original poster) sent their application to a firm through a recruiter and was told by that recruiter that the firm de…

"When I pull into my driveway, I see a big red sign that says ‘(my address) MAINTAIN YOUR PROPERTY, LOOK AROUND, EVERYONE ELSE DOES. TOWN TAKE NOTICE.’"

"What I'm getting from her [is] that I am being selfish and I should wait for everyone book theirs before mine."

Although we love to judge managers here, being one is not an easy task. It is challenging to be responsible for multiple employees, as each step they take reflects directly to their manager. So when we hear stories of managers taking a hit because of something their employees did, we do feel for them, as we know that some managers are just trying to do their jobs as best as they can, just like the rest of us. When the manager (OP, original poster) in this story discovered one of their employees…

When people start new jobs, usually, they tend to keep their heads low and just survive the first couple of weeks. That does not mean they do not make friends, or do their job as well as they can, it just means that they try not to cause any trouble, or stir up issues for other people in the company. The new hire in this story didn't get the memo on how one should behave at a new job, and if there is one person who should have kept their heads down, it is this guy. Right of the bat, he behaved…

Do you remember that one viral video in which a reporter reports live from his office and then his kid comes in the room, followed by their nanny, who panickly drags the kid out of the room, all while their father apologizes profusely to the viewers? If not, I largely advise you to watch it, because it is hilarious. I am bringing this video up because we could all relate to what happened in the video, and the humanity everyone showed in it. Since working from home became such an intricate part…
