'He saw my score and asked if we could swap tests': Bad friend exposes lie after student fails a test

This is not the cheating scandal this Redditor clearly thinks it is!

 

This student's friend failed a math test before a big trip he and his friend group had been planning. Because of the bad performance, the kid's parents would not let him go on vacation. The student asked the Redditor if he would be willing to swap the front page of their copies of the tests so his parents would think he got a B+ and not an F. Not a good idea to lie to your parents about something that will inevitably come out. Still, though, the Redditor initially said yes but then decided to reverse his decision a mere two days before the group trip by calling his friend's parents directly. 

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/Stephan2008, who tried to mask a sense of guilt about the lie. Redditors in the comments were quick to point out, however, that the original poster was contributing to a lie that only affected his friend and his family. This wasn't a school cheating scandal; the grades had been recorded and delivered. This was a family matter, and when the Redditor changed his mind, he should have at least given his friend the opportunity to come clean to his parents on his own.

'We are not going to suffer [...] for our jobs like you boomers': Sick receptionist shamed by HR and guilted into coming to work

When will boomers realize that going to work sick does not make you brave?

 

According to this anecdote, the answer is probably never. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by u/Cr0w0naT0mbst0ne, who shared that his coworker and friend - a receptionist - was shamed by HR for getting sick and was guilted into coming to the office despite feeling awful. You'd think a global pandemic and a changing work culture would stop this kind of thing from happening, but boomers are just that stubborn. If these horrible bosses were to ever admit that going to work sick is not a good idea (in fact, as these comments show, it actually costs companies money), that would be admitting that their way of life wasn't healthy. Lord knows boomers will never admit they might have been wrong about something. So basically all of this suffering is a result of people who refuse to see another perspective. It seems more complex and profound than that, but really it's that simple. Let's put an end to this.
