'Nuke her unethical career': Woman catches friend "mimicking" her on social media


On a throwaway account, one person with physical disabilities asked what she could do to stop her friend from "mimicking" her condition. In this disturbing story, the OP asks for advice, and people nearly unanimously agreed that OP needs to cut her losses and RUN from this so-called friend of hers.

This woman wrote to r/AmItheA****** to ask about an unfortunate development in her friendship with an influencer, "Janet," who is "very prominent on social media, and often discusses her disabilities very openly." The OP noticed that every time she mentioned her health issues to Janet, Janet would suddenly have those same symptoms. Janet would share that information with her followers, making the OP super suspicious about Janet's actual "chronic hand pain." Hopefully the OP listens to the commenters, who gave her advice on how to either troll Janet or cut her out of her life forever. 

Next up, get a glimpse into the jobs that sound super fun but are actually kind of dull, like being a park ranger or a Google Street View driver!

‘I quit on the spot and found a better job:’ Toxic Boss Disrespects Employee for the First and Last Time After Employee Epically Quits and Walks Out with No Regrets Mid-Reprimand


It's 2023, y'all, it's time to not take any crap from your employers. Oh, they're yelling at you and gaslighting you and making everything your fault even though they have been nothing but unhelpful, disrespectful, and just right out a jerk? Well, you stand up and GTFO of there. Stand tall, say your goodbyes, and walk on out with your head held high. You deserve better than selling your soul to a person who sees you as gum under their shoe. Sometimes it's better to work at a Chipotle with coworkers and managers that respect you than it is to work at a fancy pants company that treats you like you're garbage.

That is what one factory worker did recently and shared his epic quitting journey on Reddit. Long story short, a new boss came into play and instantly had it out for this factory worker because he stuck to his efficient ways of working rather than conforming to what the new manager said because he had no idea what he was talking about having just started working there. The new manager started yelling at him like a child throwing a tantrum after the employee told the manager's secretary that he can just email her the paperwork needed, since he doesn't have a printer at his station. 

In the midst of this disrespectful unwarranted reprimand, the boss basically said it's his way or the highway. The employee took a few seconds to think about it and decided he'll take the highway then, thank you very much. He walked out with his head high, even though he was nervously walking onto the path of unemployment. But to add salt to injury to the horrible boss, the now-ex-employee quickly found a new job that was closer to home, had better hours, and better pay.

Service Industry Employees Share Their Hilariously Embarrassing Communication Fails


We've all done it. That moment when your brain seems to automatically reboot without your permission. Like your brain needs a good unplug and plug back in again and you say "you too" to the waitress giving you your meal. It works both ways though. It's not just as a customer struggling to form words with your mouth to the employees, but it is also the employees who struggle sometimes. When you're tired, overworked, and/or lacking in sleep and you're working and someone ask's how your day is and you say "no thank you" or you accidentally end a phone call with a customer by saying "I love you." It's all too much to bare. You want to bury yourself in a ditch, but you also cannot stop laughing. It's such a silly slip up that it's hilarious. You first feel shame and embarrassment fill your body and you just want to hide. But once you have some time to sit on it, you laugh so much about it you start to cry. 

Well, one servicer industry employee posted a video confessing how she accidentally said "this messica is for jessica" and it haunts her to this day. This video went viral and hundreds of thousands of other service industry employees have flocked to the comment section to admit their hilarious communication fail and it is top notch comedy. Enjoy some of our favorites from the comment section below! 

'I gotta use the bathroom': Interview candidate learns how low salary is, asks to use the restroom, gets in car, and drives home


I think we can all agree that Jessica is an icon. She found out in an in-person interview that the salary for the position was changed to $3.15 lower than the agreed-upon rate. When she inquired about it, the interviewer said that since she was already here in the office, Jessica "may as well take it." 

 

Well, let's just say that Jessica did not just take it. Instead, she asked to use the bathroom and ghosted the interviewer immediately. According to her friend, who shared this thread on Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit, Jessica is notoriously bad at confrontation. She might not have been intending to be an absolute icon-in-the-making, but that's what wound up happening. The next time we're at interviews and are presented with a bait and switch, we should all be like Jessica and ask to use the facilities before getting the heck out of that office as fast as possible.
