‘Underwater welder’: The jobs Redditors would never accept, no matter how much they paid
Everyone has their role in life. Some of us are destined to educate the next generation. Some of us feel compelled to learn all we can about the human body so we can help sick people. Others of us spend our days making lists of memes for people on the internet. But what about the …

Worker brings in hundreds of million of dollars in revenue, works from 4 a.m. to late at night, quits after her annual raises don’t even match inflation: ‘It didn’t matter. Nothing I did was respected or valued’
There’s this pervasive idea that the majority of workers are baseline kind of lazy and will do anything to get out of doing work. While there are definitely people like that, I’m inclined to believe there are many more workers who go above and beyond and never get credit for it. Everyone’s worked with someone …

Job seeker purposefully tanks interview after recruiter tries to lowball him: ‘I was told this role would pay $Y but sure, I could put in $X amount of effort instead’
Negotiation is an art and a science. It can be very difficult to do successfully, especially if the initial offer you’ve been given is so paltry that it will take a lot of work to get up to a range that you’re comfortable with. If you’re offered so much less than you’re initially looking for, …

‘It was a test of desperation’: Employer schedules interview at 7 AM and keeps candidates waiting for 8+ hours, fed-up workers react
Almost everyone in the working world will tell you that being on time is an essential skill. In showbiz, they say, «If you’re early, you’re on time. If you’re on time, you’re late. If you’re late, you’re dead.» A bit harsh, but it’s the maxim of most employers across the globe. In fact, some would …

Company fires employee after they failed to provide mother’s death certificate 4 days after her passing: ‘I had to leave work Sunday night because my mom passed during my shift’
Companies can do things that are so evil that it’s difficult to even see it from the suit’s perspective. Sure, sometimes people are laid off despite being good workers, but usually, it’s because the company can’t afford to pay them. That’s not a nice explanation, but at least it isn’t outright cruel. A worker recently …

‘Teaching 7 classes a semester on 3 different campuses and making less than $30k/year’: Workers share experiences in the workplace that radicalized them
Everyone has a moment when they realize jobs can be cruel and unusual. I doubt that any of us had a great time at our first jobs, and I’m no exception to that rule. On my first day of selling my labor, I asked if I could leave when the shift was scheduled to end, …

Bored government worker complains they were given a $20k salary increase to do ‘literally nothing,’ while some claim it’s a dream job: ‘Use the facilities, use the benefits’
All the rage this spring… high paying low effort dumb email jobs. Those who have them are the envy of their friends. Everyone’s selling their soul to try to get one. But for real, sometimes the highest-paying jobs are the ones that require the least amount of effort. It’s one of the dirty little secrets of the corporate …

‘We can’t let our dog outside if we’re not on break’: Boss demands work-from-home employees text him every time they leave their desks, inspires malicious compliance solutions
It’s not always easy to monitor employees working from home. If you’re in an office, you can look over your lackey’s shoulder and see if they’re bidding on a Cartman pinball machine on eBay instead of filling out their Excel Sheet. Being a WFH boss is much more challenging, especially if you’re a total micromanager. …
