New hires are almost always bound to mess something up during their first weeks on the job, but these folks made mistakes that simply could not be ignored. Of course, you cannot expect your new coworkers to get everything right on Day One. They have to adjust to a particular workplace's way of doing things, so it's only natural that they will do something incorrectly. Those kinds of mistakes can be easily forgiven because these newbies do not know any better. However, every so often, you come a…

"I don't make enough for this"

It's rare, but it does happen: sometimes an entire workplace quits at once. When this does happen, it's often a glorious exodus, leaving workers happy with their fresh jobs and higher salaries, while managers scramble to find new hires. It's true what they say: people will run from bad bosses as fast as they can. Having a low salary is irritating, but if you love your job, it isn't always so bad. And if you love the people you work with, those 8-hour days may fly by, making your workweek a bree…

Welcome to retail, baby

Difficult people often find themselves dealing with difficult consequences. At the end of the day, they have no one to blame but themselves for being, well, difficult . Here, we have an entitled Karen customer who didn't like the fact that the bank's printing machine smudged two numbers on her new debit card (this did not affect whether or not the card worked). Now, if this happened once and the customer politely requested to have it reprinted, that would have been fine. However, this lady coul…

What would you do if your family planned a surprise trip for everyone… except for you? It's an incredibly awkward situation to be in, as u/EEZAK04 explained. Next, read about the people who let money burn holes in their pocket and were just plain irresponsible with their cash, like one dude who “ spent like $20,000 on fidget spinners .”

Justice becomes the in-flight entertainment

We've all dreamed of quitting a job in dramatic fashion The myth of the hard-nosed boss: a harsh take-no-prisoners leadership style with the “greater good” and the learning of the team in mind. The issue is far too many leaders think they're living up to this mythology when in reality they're treading over the fine line This worker made a splash, quite literally, when they quit their job after suffering one insult and one impolite demand too many from their toxic boss.

No one enjoys getting assigned a new task at work right before the end of the day. The reality of the matter is that most tasks can wait until tomorrow at that point, and if it cannot, then that's on management for holding off on assigning said task for so long. This story serves as yet another example of how communication within a strict corporate hierarchy can lead to bad business. Here, we have an employee who was asked to complete a task at 4:50 pm that was evidently urgent. This would be f…

Who among us wouldn't quit their job for double the salary ? It'd be a hard question to say no to, that's for sure. No matter how much you love your job, you could vastly improve your life with double the amount of money. Usually, when you find a job that could double your salary , you have to inform your company that they either need to match that amount, or you'll be leaving. It's not personal, it's just finances. But still, some bosses think that your loyalty to their company should be stron…

Sometimes you really don't want to see how the sausage is made. You just want that final product , and you want to enjoy it without knowing all of the behind-the-scenes shenanigans that it takes to create said product. This is certainly the case at many restaurants , just as one example. You just want to sit down in the seating area and have a nice meal. You don't want to think about how long it's been since they cleaned the grease trap, or how there are probably at least 10 cockroaches or mice…

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…

We all want and need an advocate in the workplace, someone to have our backs in case other coworkers or authority figures start taking us for granted. Of course, in an ideal world, that's what human resources should be, but let's be realistic for a second. Human resources is all about protecting the company at the end of the day. Sure, they might project an image of solidarity with employees but always be careful not to be fooled by this facade. Now, this manager was against their boss's reques…

Sure, confront the person fixing the problem instead of the problem itself. That makes sense!
