Even if you had the nicest boss in the world, getting laid-off is never easy. It doesn't matter how much you pour your heart into your work or how many hours you put in, money-grubbing CEOs will always choose profits over people. Welcome to capitalism, buddy. You and your boss could become the best of friends, get drinks after work, share a funny duet during karaoke, but when it comes to cutbacks, employees are always the first to suffer. What can you do? Nothing, usually. Unless you and your C…

If you work in retail, customer service, or the service industry, sooner or later, you're going to run into a confoundingly indignant and angry individual who is going to ruin your day—leaving you thinking about this interaction for years to come. It's just a matter of sheer statistics; talk to enough people in a day, and sooner or later, at some point, you're going to have a grown adult having a full tantrum in the center of your store like it's some kind of performative art piece. This Karen…

Whatever you've managed to buy accidentally with your credit card, it's not worse than this guy's accidental purchase . Many people who accidentally buy stuff with a credit card are kids. Sometimes they accidentally buy thousands of dollars worth of in-game currency for video games, leaving their parents on the hook for a massive bill. However, for this soon-to-be cowboy or cowgirl, that's pennies compared to their purchase, and there's no one else to take the blame. They've been steered into d…

Not getting a promotion after you put in your hardest work never feels good—in fact, it makes you feel like punching a wall, right? After all those positive reviews, hours, and trust you put into your upper management it feels more like a personal attack than “just business." If it were something like getting dumped or a friend betrayal, then an emotion response is acceptable, even expected. But since this is a “professional workplace” then you cannot let your true colors show. Yes, wouldn't it…

Toxic organizations breed toxic behavior, begetting toxic people. Unfortunately, those that conform to the organization's less-than-ideal ideals tend to do better and prosper, rising far above their deserved rank and encouraging their unfavorable behavior towards others that would ideally be derided. We've seen stories like this before, where an employee is singled out and collectively gaslit by their coworkers on behalf of getting them to conform to bizarre organizational directives. In this c…

This is not exactly the ideal way to find out you're getting fired...

There are a few guided activities that most people are unwilling to be cheap about: skydiving, scuba lessons, and boat tours.

Retail workers focused on earning decent commissions will relate to these memes.

But what if the customer is wrong? So epically wrong that their servers are scarred for life contemplating their tasteless choices and downright wacky desires. For the woman who wanted creamer with her red wine, please leave this establishment and never return. Your tastebuds are not welcome here.

Educators and students will find these teacher fail memes hilarious.

Differentiating right from wrong isn't exactly a piece of cake, as everything depends on perspective, which we all know is subjective, making it difficult to determine said right from wrong. However, the proliferation of extreme opinions has led to the rise of the ‘oh so dreaded’ cancel culture, a merciless and unforgiving phenomenon where people basically tell you to shove it on every online platform that exists. Making mistakes is no longer acceptable, and personal growth feels unattainable.…

Oftentimes, in transportation facilities, there will be a legal requirement to go through a security checkpoint that inspects bags; employees will need to go through a metal detector. In order to do that, they will need to remove any electronics/wires from their bags. OP was a technician working for a company that required him to pass through such a checkpoint on a daily basis. He carried a laptop, hand tools, and network cables in his bag, and was told he could leave hand tools and such in his…

Family trauma is a very real thing. You could have the most loving family in the world where you're all besties and STILL have family trauma. That's basically what the entire plot of Disney's Encanto is about. We all have our own inner demons and that just happen to surface around the people you feel most comfortable around—often times that is your family. However, it's 2023 and we are all open about working on our mental health and taking therapy seriously, but that also includes working on th…

You would think people would be on their best behavior on a first date.

Having a funny boss is amazing, but having a wanna-be funny boss is much less ideal.
