Needless to say, you should probably not apply to this one!

We've all been given radio silence from recruiters before, but this is a new level of savage ghosting from a potential employer. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by u/DentistThink4578 , who opened up about a horrible Zoom interview experience he had recently. The original poster has serious back problems that make sitting in an office chair hard to do (hence, the need to work remotely). During the interview, he set up his laptop on a lap desk and used a neutral background…

You know it's not a good sign when you have to pay for your own job training.

We all have that one colleague who's a total show off. They like to claim that they were heading up a project , when actually they barely did any work on it. Or they try to schmooze with clients and C-suite employees, only to come off as arrogant and irritating. People like this exist everywhere, but not everyone is quite as confident in their abilities as this crazy Kevin ! At least this guy didn't get away unscathed. The OP, u/UnlikelyAlternative, writes that after Kevin's big goof with some…

Every job requires you to have coworkers, whether you want to or not. These people encountered some coworkers who made extra dumb mistakes — and some are more dangerous than others. The r/AskReddit community answered the question, “What's the dumbest mistake you've seen an incompetent coworker make?” And I am shocked at some of the answers. People wrote in from all walks of life, from lawyers to pet shop workers to designers. Everyone makes mistakes, but some people don't handle that well. It s…

Be careful what you say in the workplace , even if you think you're saying it in private. This woman got burned by a coworker, and I bet she won't make the same mistake twice. U/Ok-Material6418, who is that coworker, wrote to r/AmItheA**hole, where they were presumably feeling a bit guilty. As they explained, they were in the middle of trying to hire candidates for a job , and found a friend of a friend to have an interview. But the red flags quickly began waving for this OP. They explained tha…

Sounds like this student needs to run, not walk, to another job!

A verbal promise is only worth the paper it's written on, a lesson that this guy learned from his workplace only after it was too late. “Boss betrayed me. What do I do?” asked u/JacksAgain, as they sought help from the r/careerguidance subreddit. As the OP explained their job, they wrote that they make six figures at a company, but were still temped by a job offer with a 13% raise. That's a decent salary bump, and after telling their boss, the OP got an instant 17% raise. Great! But that also c…

You know there's a problem at your workplace when HR sides with a thief!

No one's perfect at their job, mistakes do happen. When you're a chef, however, any cooking mistake is going to effect a lot of dishes, and therefore a lot of customers! Chefs, bakers, and waiters gathered to share their funniest stories of food prep gone wrong, and the results are eye-opening and hilarious. It's a good look at the behind the scenes life of a restaurant. I never thought about what might happen if you had to make 40 pecan and pumpkin pies , and then burnt them all! It's a major…

Imagine this guy becoming your boss!

Giving feedback is a delicate skill that this person might not have mastered quite yet. This worried employee wrote to r/AmItheA**hole for some much-needed feedback of his own! As u/Davetherocker wrote, he has had a new boss for only about four months, but she's experienced in the field. However, she's still finding her footing with the team she's managing, though the OP writes he and the team are supporting her as she learns the ropes. The OP's troubles started during a team meeting . It seems…

This employee needs to recognize that their coworker very much did this to himself.

We've seen some ludicrous red flags on job applications, but this one is too far.

This certified nursing assistant got put in an awkward situation when she declined to work a shift, and her boss just couldn't accept it. Doctors and nurses are chronically overworked, and are terribly under appreciated. The very people who take care of us when we're at our most vulnerable state are often exhausted from their own long shifts. This woman is feeling that right now. As she wrote to r/AmItheA**hole, she worked eight days of 16-hour shifts in a row! Instead of treating her like a su…

You don't know what you've got till your employee's gone! This general manager refuses to give up after their former employee quit the team. Now, it's far too late for this, the negotiation process is long gone, and it's clear that the GM is only just realizing how much work the Redditor contributed to the team. In fact, it's more than clear that the team is completely lost without her. Well, someone has got to inform this adult that cyberstalking is not the way to bring back a former employee.…
