There's really no place for bait-and-switch tactics in the interview process. The process of looking for a job is long and difficult enough without using deceit to try and trick prospective candidates into taking a job that wasn't what they thought they were signing up for, either changing the terms of their employment or compensation at the last minute and hoping they'll be desperate enough to go along with it. Still, as with anything in life, communication is key, and sometimes—no, often—simp…

"Normally, I’d do it my usual way—efficiently and with a bit of common sense."

When you're working, you need to take breaks; it's just a simple fact of working—at least until our employers manage to replace us with AI and AI-powered robots. Even when that inevitably occurs, there's sure to be downtime for updates and bug fixing, so it's all the same, really. Customers and bosses alike seem prone to misunderstanding when a worker is on their break. And, let's be honest, in some working environments, where there isn't the appropriate space to take breaks or where you're alw…

Weekends are sacred

This dude is in a really awkward situation with a coworker, and he's wracking his brain to figure out what he did wrong. In some work environments , a single person can ruin the whole vibe. It's true what they say: one bad apple can spoil the bunch. You can go from having a peaceful work environment one day to an awkward job atmosphere the next. It all depends on the attitude and the amount of grace that your coworkers are willing to offer. Because, as u/Saikasss can tell you, not everyone can…

Trust us, we're nurses

Always consult the guy who knows what he's talking about

Well, that's one way to send a message!

This worker got way too candid with their boss, and was cringing hard as they waited for a reply. There's a culture of gallows humor at some workplaces, as this person can tell you all about. Amid layoffs and a struggling department lacking leadership, morale was very low here. When basically every employee is unhappy each day and actively searching for new work, it can feel like misery is in the air at all times. This person had a funny quip in reply to their boss's email… and they accidentall…

No, you can't return an item to the store if you didn't bring the item with you. Even if you promise to bring it back later, because you just forgot it as you were running out the door, you can't have a refund. Still, some customers will try to argue that they should be allowed to do so! It makes sense in their mind, so they think that it should be permitted. This isn't even the dumbest question that the retail workers of the world have fielded from their customers! Even after taking a company…

This group of employees wasn't sure how to handle the workplace weirdo … because he doesn't technically work with them. This person wrote in for advice using a throwaway account called u/throwRA-nonSeq. They shared that they work in an office complex with a bunch of different businesses, and there's one dude who's being an utter creep. He's being just annoying enough to really weird out the other employees, especially the women, who he seems to target in particular. But, as is often the case wi…

Who hasn't watched the amenities of their workplace—the absolute basics that you might expect to have in the office break room—slowly eroding? First, it starts with the coffee. If you had a machine in the workplace, suddenly that's gone, leaving a French Press. Ok, fair enough, but before long, the actual coffee they were providing is replaced with the cheapest instant coffee available that doesn't even really taste like coffee. Now, they're no longer providing milk, so everyone has to buy thei…

The office food thief can count their days, because this person has discovered a genius way to get back at the dude stealing their lunch. This person's coworker Mike has sticky fingers. He's constantly pilfering food from the office refrigerator , but the human resources team has thrown up their hands and said there's nothing they can do to stop him. Eating someone else's food seems really embarrassing to me: it implies that not only can you not remember to bring lunch , or can't afford to eat,…

It's impolite to steal people's stuff, and ultimately, they're not really responsible if what you're stealing isn't what you thought you were stealing. Besides, when you're taking things without asking, there isn't really a chance for the person you're stealing from to tell you what it is that you're stealing from them. Having food going missing from the workplace fridge is an all-too-common office frustration, driving some to go to considerable lengths in order to secure their food in the frid…

This supervisor is proof that you can't always trust management to make the right decisions! After making a big mess in his own factory floor, this boss made quite the fool of himself. Up next, read about these sandwiches customers ordered that were so absurd, one employee had to say, “ I forgive you .”
