Imagine getting asked what kind of tree you think you would be while interviewing for a welder position?…

If you're having trouble with your roommate, you are not alone. I can count on one hand the number of roommates I ever got along with… And I've lived with quite a lot. Some of them were great friends who turned into enemies after we moved in together, and others were strangers who became best friends. Weird, but that's life. This person (OP) was furious when their roommate demanded they pay an extra $50 in utilities after using the microwave 3 times and ‘leaving the kitchen light on’. OP refuse…

Tailoring your resume when applying for a job can be intimidating. What is the hiring manager looking for? Are all of your bullet points from your job three years ago still relevant? Should you include that skill that you're really good at but doesn't really pertain to the role? All of these questions can make you second-guess yourself over and over, especially if you really want the gig . Well, there should be a clear line on things that aren't acceptable to include, like your Tinder profile,…

One dude took ‘neighborly kindness’ too far when he wrote a bunch of letters asking neighbors to donate him a house and sent them off, obviously unaware (on a core level) how outrageous his request was. One neighbor, u/SirHoneyDip, shared the letter to r/EntitledPeople, and the content of the letter was frankly, hilariously entitled. Some people really don't have much going on up there, do they? Asking people for favors is one thing, but asking people to buy you a WHOLE HOUSE? While being unemp…

This person was just trying to follow the rules . But that didn't matter at all to the store they worked for. At every job, there are specific rules that you have to follow. Sometimes you can bend the rules a bit to make your life easier. But some things are too important to mess around with. Age restricted items would probably fall under that second category. This person, u/PM_ME_UR_DIPLOMA, had a story for r/TalesFromRetail on this very subject. They write that while working at a video game s…

I would not want to get on this person's bad side… This woman shared her tale of a former coworker's comeuppance via this thread on Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit, and let's just say that her comeback was decidedly savage. First, let's take things back a few years. When the Redditor was working for a different company for over seven years, she worked out a situation with management that allowed her to go back to school while working mostly full-time. Essentially, she worked longer hours 3x/w…

Looking for a job is stressful, mainly because you need to send out 1,000 resumes and chit-chat with 100 interviewers before ever getting into a room with a company to discuss the job. For that reason, a lot of folks looking for work will often spam out their resume in a mass-application, which inevitably leads to them forgetting what position they're even applying for. We just need a job, okay?

Talk about getting out while you still can!

With all of this bending-over-backwards, you really could use a rewarding massage instead of a 40+ hour work week.

Let's put it this way: it is just as important to know what not to say in a job interview as it is to know what you should say. We all know that there is a false etiquette when it comes to applying for jobs where you have to, I don't know, pretend to be a functioning human being in this world. Of course, if you actually end up getting hired, you can start revealing your true self. That being said, it's important to put on that fake smile and a false sense of confidence when you walk into that r…

Getting fired sucks; having your means of income suddenly dissipate leaves you in a pretty vulnerable situation, forcing you to dig into your savings in order to keep yourself afloat—which, considering how hard it is to save at the moment… probably doesn't leave you with a lot. Luckily, there's unemployment (if you uniquely qualify), which can help bridge the gap and keep you off the streets while you find new work, which your previous employer must pay a part of—unless they can devise a way to…

When the opportunity is too good to pass up, don't ever let it slip through your fingers. Job interviews bring a multitude of emotions with them, but usually the main two are anxiety and excitement. Interviewing is tough no matter what stage of your career you're in. It's exciting to have the opportunity to check out the company and see if it's the right fit for you. But on the other hand, it causes most people a ton of anxiety, since you're being judged for your abilities, and have to come up…

Times are tough. Unemployment seriously be poppin' off in 2022. If you've been affected by it, don't feel ashamed. It happens! As long as you know you did and are doing the best you can, you'll get there! Life sure doesn't make it easy these days though… But you know what helps a little? Humor as a coping mechanism! We're not telling you to bury your issues deep down—if you've ever been to therapy then you know that only spells trouble. BUT, you also know that a healthy dose of distraction and…

“ If hope is dead and you k*lled it, let a b*tch know! ”

He was getting paid a below average market rate, so he told his manager he's only going to do a below average amount of work.
