Workplace Culture and Corporate Lingo Frustrations

… It’s the charging case for my earbuds… I just laughed and showed them how it works. Luckily they thought it was equally funny, and said they would have a discussion with the person who reported it....

I found this in a job listing for a train conductor position, it has to be a typo, right???

This is mainly for people 30 and under. I’m getting a little annoyed when I call your business, whether it’s Home Depot or Dominos and being met with just “hello?”. Like guys, I want to know I called ...

I can be free for a whole day and throughout that whole time from the morning to the afternoon, I will not have any motivation at all to write or edit my stories. But as soon as the evening air start...

There were “let’s circle back”, “to close the loop“, “deliverables”, “low hanging fruit” and “art of the possible”.

Imagine sending email comms for a “Hawaiian Pizza Party” several times. Encouraging people na mag dress up, mag comply sa theme day. Tapos makaka-receive ka ng isang square cut ng pizza. Nasaan ang r...

This doesn't add up to me. I've never looked up teaching positions in the UK, but I'm sure you get paid less as a bartender compared to being a teacher?

"Owning an appartament is so hard, I don't even know where to put all my vintage Ikea furniture! I really should burn it down and go beat people up, piss in soup, traumatize minimun wage workers and s...

I kept seeing this advice on TikTok. Don't apply online. Just message people on LinkedIn and ask for a 15 min coffee chat (virtual). No asking for a job. Just "informational interview." So I tried it ...

\- I like to give kids who shared answers (they shouldn’t) wildly different grades so they come to me to complain and admit plagiarism. \- I’ll misssspell words on the board because they love to cor...

I don’t get it. Food, comfort, safety, freedom… all seem tied to money. So why do people repeat this phrase like it’s fact?

“Do you sell potato clocks?” “I’m sorry, sir,” she replied, “I’ve never heard of such a thing. We sell digital clocks, alarm clocks, carriage clocks, cuckoo clocks and even grandfather clocks, but wh...

Recently saw reports about the TCS Nashik case where multiple complaints have been filed alleging harassment, blackmail, and serious workplace misconduct over the past few years. Several people have b...

I have never gotten more than an arm’s length to the two women I have been working with for years now. One is a terrible gossip, bully, and has used personal information on me against me. The other on...

I am a mechanical engineer with about seven years of experience so I have sat through my fair share of technical screenings . Most are fine but yesterday I had one that was just pure ego from the star...

I feel the need to complain about this. I tried complaining about this to ChatGPT and it exhibited the exact same behavior i was complaining about. Whenever you talk to ChatGPT it feels the need to co...

Peyush Bansal just admitted on X that Lenskart had a dress code policy that allowed the Hijab but prohibited Bindi and Tilak. [Shefali's accusation](https://x.com/ShefVaidya/status/204438524429664697...

There's nothing to arrange, so how is there exactly one way to do it? Like the absence of a choice somehow still counts as a choice.

Kabhi wfh ya chutti ke liye mana nahi kiya, & abhi company leave kerne wala hun so I wish aise Manager mujhe mile 🥹

Hello all my lovely fellow fasters! So, this post is obviously not some huge breakthrough weight loss story as many amazing people on this thread losing hundreds of lbs which is super admirable in it...

I just wanted to share such a radical idea. [https://wsbt.com/news/operation-education/teacher-retention-recruitment-pay-money-support-morale-education-job-fair-career-profession-new-competition-sch...

Before I started I had this image in my head. I thought cybersec is threat hunting, incident response and catching attackers in the act. The reality of most cybersecurity jobs, especially early ones,...

Well dads, today I got fired. It wasn’t a great job and it didn’t pay enough, but it was better than nothing, which is where I am now. My three year old is in the next room having a party with the bu...

I’m 28M. The reason I ask this is because I’m currently in that situation. I’m not sure if it’s “the worst”, but it’s up there. I got laid off from my career in a software engineering firm last year...

I saw people posting those pretty round bottles from around 1994, so I had to post. The first is me in 1995 or 96…. The second is me in 2024 when I went back to work at the company (for about 7 month...

Everyone talks about speed, range, and torque but nobody told me how addictive it is to replace every short car trip. Grocery run? E-bike. Coffee? E-bike. Random late-night ride just because I can? E...

Been working as an electrician for 14 years and I always felt my cycling and health took backseat to that. Today, I made it work. Very stoked right now.

I should have known it would happen, but I’m kind of desperate for a full time teaching job right now since we’re doing a big move, and a small catholic school that brags about their “diverse” student...

So I interviewed for a company and cleared all rounds. I have around 5+ years of experience. I believe that I did well in the technical as well as Managerial Round. HR requested documents and basic de...

Had a not so good day today, so Im telling this story to remind myself the positives in my life. So I was serving this one couple and they ordered a slice of cake in the end, so I rung it up and gav...

Vidim dosta postova od lidlovih "pr botova" međutim stvarno stanje u lidlu je nešto drugačije,kao stalni zaposlenik lidla ne mogu se odati dojmu kad me ljudi pitaju kako je tamo radit i kako nas hvale...

Our admin has decided that all seniors who aren’t passing will be taken out of their classes and put into online credit recovery at the end of April. No finals, no responsibility for messing around a...

Just hear me out, what if there was a show where parents went undercover as a substitute teacher. New hair, makeup, voice, etc. and posed as a substitute teacher, lunch monitor, aide, etc. in their ch...

I thought everybody set multiple alarms of varying times away from when you actually need to leave. I also definitely end up ignoring them and not taking my “LEAVE NOW” seriously because I know I le...

Her assistant is critically ill and needing life saving surgeries (Aria sharing several details about this woman's health concerns feels odd, too) but please don't forget for one second that Mra. Aria...

We all know that when we're working we're expected to be nice to the guests and attentive to their needs. And, unless they've taken the situation to a place where we have to change our demeanor, we ne...

I had a screening call today for a Senior Mechanical Engineer position and the recruiter, without a hint of irony, asked me where I see myself in five years. I almost disconnected the call right then ...

I do freelance design and web work on the side and took on a project for a local med spa back in September. Full rebrand, new site, social assets, the whole thing. We had a written contract, I sent in...

I’m tired of feeling like every new track is just an ad for its own chorus. It’s becoming painfully obvious that songs are being engineered solely to survive the first 30 seconds of a Spotify stream o...

På mitt "kontorsjobb" har jag märkt att de över runt 45 och uppåt använder "personligen" när de kallar till möten där de egentligen menar att man ska delta på plats istället för digitalt. Jag tycker d...

Have no one to share this with that won’t make things weird, so here it is internet strangers. Just checked Monarch and was surprised to find [I’m about to hit $2M net worth](https://imgur.com/a/FUz2v...

Trending ngayon yung topic of teachers na nababaon sa utang. I'm a public school teacher din pero enjoying some level of privilege kasi may sariling income din naman parents ko kaya wala akong utang. ...

So I asked my gf who is a bank teller if she would be on the lookout for silver coins and she looked at me like i was asking her to steal, said its a huge ethics violation and she had to sign all kind...

I tendered my resignation early this morning. I cant handle the manager and workload anymore. The red flags are all there but I guess I was blind: 1. Previous staff left within months of joining. No...

I just went through a multi-stage interview for a Senior Full Stack Engineer role at a well-known tech company, and I’m still confused. HR was actually great. The technical round was fine too. I had ...
