Don't work at these places. They're already showing signs that they're not the best jobs to be employed at! Every job has its pros and cons, and it can take a while to figure out what those are for your industry. For example, I've learned that high turnover is a sign of a poor company. That also goes for places that rely heavily on intern input to come up with ideas… all while not paying said interns. These folks below delivered their own answers to u/Aviliuss's question: “What are some workpla…

Every landscaper's nightmare

A super power you quickly gain while working in customer service is patience. And boy, you never realize how powerful that is until you have to use it. Imagine standing there and a customer is berating you with nonsense and you just have to look at them and be calm and understanding. Like, “yes, lady, I love to be told how to do my job that I've been doing for years now. Tell me again how you work the discount code even though you've never worked retail in your life and you don't even know how…

Welcome to working in fast food: Where the pay is low and the customers become your sleep paralysis demon. What is it about working in a fact food restaurant that attracts the biggest of both male and female Karens ? Do the neon signs say “entitlement welcome” or something? Yeah, yeah, it's not every customer that walks through the doors of a fast food place that is the worst, but, if you've ever worked fast food before, then you know it is a good portion of them. Just take this recent Reddit p…

Entry-level positions should never be expected to be available to clients 24/7– that's the work of upper management jobs who send one email a day and make a quarter million (+) per year. Life's all about balance, and when your work-life balance is disrupted, company hierarchies can get challenged...

Working remote has its perks… but it also has its downfalls. Although you have the freedom to work in your own home (or wherever you please), it also means that upper management never actually knows who you are, which seems hunky-dory until you realize that, as an expendable employee, it's never been easier to get fired. Unfortunately for one employee, he got sideswiped by this reality in the worst way.

Work is always more difficult when you have a supervisor who isn't on your side. The toxicity that comes with a work environment like that truly brings you down each do you clock in. But when you have a supervisor who actually cares about their employees and fights for you and trusts you, then work is 100% better. One employee took to Reddit to share a story of their supportive supervisor. This redditor was working when she got a call from a notorious coworker from a different department. This…

When employees are struggling to get a raise, fighting for overtime pay, nitpicking for a day more of PTO, it really grinds their gears when the out of touch boss asks THEM for money. However, as we all know, the audacity of C-level management and supervisors knows no bounds.

Before movie streaming was even a concept, you had to physically take yourself to a video store . Back in the day (the 1990s, in this case) when you wanted to watch a film, you had to visit a Blockbuster or a Hollywood Video location. These were glorious rooms full of video tapes , and later DVDs entered the mix. The place was full of people at any time of day. You would usually rent a few movies for under $5 a peice, and would return them within a week or so, just like you would with a library…

We all work so that we can get that bag of cash every couple weeks. Weirdly enough though, it seems like the C-level employees and upper management seem to think that their employees go to work for other reasons, like socialization and the occasional pizza party. But it's an accepted norm that when you're offered a promotion, that's supposed to come with some sort of raise, even if you're a deluded manager, right? Not in this case…

Some people just want to watch the world burn. But when you're the one guy who's only job is to prevent destruction from consuming the job site, that's exactly what you're trying to avoid. For some supervisors, especially the arrogant kind with a ‘i-can-do-no-wrong' attitude, being the safety guy at a construction site doesn't actually mean anything. They just want to trot around, puff their chest, and tell everyone what to do– even if it's the wrong call.

This person worked 23 days in a row — but only because they were promised a nice cash bonus.

If you have never heard of “malicious compliance," let this tale be your introduction to it. What it means is that you do exactly what you are told, I mean eeexaaaactlyyyy. You take every word literally. So if your boss says they don't want to see you being late anymore, then say “no problem!” and just stop letting them know you're late. Because they said they didn't want to see you being late anymore. None of those words told you to stop being late. You get my drift here? This Reddit story is…

Agreeing to something only to find that the terms of that deal have changed is an altogether disappointing experience. And why wouldn't it be? An expectation has been set that hasn't been met, and usually not in your favor. While sometimes you might fight and argue to reach the terms of the original deal… Sometimes, all you can do is pray that the deal isn't altered any further. Even though the terms of employment shouldn't be like making a deal with Star Wars Darth Vader—well… sometimes it is;…

When complying with your boss's request ends up costing the company tens of thousands of dollars, be ready to get fired… unless you have receipts. Oftentimes, your boss has their head up in the clouds and doesn't know how things work down on the ground. There is only so much you can tolerate before you begin to maliciously comply with their recurring, ridiculous demands. This being said, you don't always know what your boss is going to stipulate, so at times, you will have to be flexible with s…

While working in an antiquated shelter, this man had to continually change up his daily attire . U/Sucessful-Medicine9 writes that he works at a shelter that hasn't been updated much in about three decades. He writes that people still take notes on paper kept in binders, and that they have panels labelled with cards with typewriter ink on them. That's some impressively outdated technology. Despite all this clunky old tech, the OP's boss knew exactly what needed to be updated first: the dress co…
