'Saving [that] sinking ship was impossible': 30+ ways to professionally explain why you 'jumped ship' so quickly at your last job during an interview

Fail Blog - Mon, 01/15/2024 - 17:00

Well, it's happened. You have probably read about it countless times online, but never thought it would happen to you. It turns out the job you just started working for was not at all how they said it would be. In fact, it's a total dumpster fire and the job description you discussed during your interview is basically non-existent. So what do you do? You can either quit in a fury, dock the job from your resume, and hope the bridges you burned on your way out don't come back to haunt you. Or you can stick it out until you find a new job. But that brings up another issue: What do you tell the places you're interviewing for why you jumped or are jumping ship so quickly after being hired? 

Well, the internet taketh and giveth, because here we have an A+ thread of people advising on how to handle that exact situation. Now you know how to say that you had to "dump that dumpster fire job as fast as possible" in the most professional way. Get that job you deserve, baby!

Beancounters Foolishly Refuse to Pay an Employee's $15/Annual Dues, End Up Getting Charged $100 for Required Training As a Result

Fail Blog - Mon, 01/15/2024 - 15:00

In some fields, continued education is a requirement. As we all know, knowledge is a powerful thing, so to remain updated and educated in the specificities of your career is to remain at the top of your game in the workplace. With education also being a 'luxurious' expense, this kind of cerebral maintenance isn't something that's prioritized by the beancounters in the backroom.

'I swore to tell the truth. I never agreed to tell it in a way that makes her life easier': Judge orders man to stay during a trial he voluntarily attended, man maliciously compiles

Fail Blog - Mon, 01/15/2024 - 14:00

Anyone whose been in a courtroom before, knows how unnecessarily long proceedings can be. The slightest mishap can force everyone to start from square one. Well, that's exactly how this hearing that the OP voluntarily attended was going. Frustrated by the prolonged process, he decided he'd had enough and attempted to make an exit. That is, until the judge stopped him and told him he couldn't leave. He tried to explain to the judge that he was not summoned, he was there willingly, so the judge pulled out the big guns and ordered him to stay. So, the man compiled. Maliciously compiled that is.

‘Sell your car and give me the money’: After having an expensive wedding, entitled groom asks friends for a loan, and goes as far as asking them to sell their car for him

Fail Blog - Mon, 01/15/2024 - 13:00

Do you think friends should loan each other money? Not small amounts like buying each other coffee or lunch, but pay-your-friend's-this-month's-rent kind of money. 

On the one hand, friends should be there for each other, and feel comfortable enough to ask for help when they need it. On the other hand, big sums of money can cause a lot of tension between two people, no matter how close they are. The thought alone of having to ask a friend for your money back can make anyone feel extremely uncomfortable.

So what would you do if a close friend came up to you and asked you for a big loan? This Reddit story has brought up a very important lesson to be learned on this topic. A couple of friends of the OP and her husband asked for a money load after having a lavish wedding and a month-long honeymoon in the Maldives. Since the OP's husband couldn't really afford to give out a loan, he refused, only to have his friend ask him to sell his own car so that he could afford to give out the loan. Thank goodness OP was there to stop him from making a decision he would have regretted. Unsurprisingly, OP and her husband are no longer friends with those people.

'Her story was the stuff of legends': Absentee employee requests job reference from former boss

Fail Blog - Mon, 01/15/2024 - 12:00

This worker just couldn't stop fabricating tales.

Of all the places to start lying, the workplace is one of the most risky. If you choose to spill a few little white lies to your coworkers, you probably won't get caught. Lying to your boss is a whole different game, though. Maybe your friends invite you to the beach on a gorgeous summer day, so you tell your boss that your grandma has passed on. Is it bad form? Yes. But you get to have a fun day in the sun, and your boss is none the wiser. The only flaw in that plan is that people post photos of all their activities all the time! That then implicates your friends in the lie, knowing that if they share the wrong selfie, you could get caught. 

U/SumoNinja17 had an eyebrow-raising tale to share with the r/maliciouscompliance crowd. They hired a new person to their company because they already knew her. Too bad they didn't realize that this woman had a habit of pulling no-call-no-shows. It's surprising she wasn't fired right off the bat! I don't know of any workplace where not calling out nor showing up to your shift is okay. That usually results in an immediate firing. Check out the entire story below! 

Next up, this brand new manager at a fast-food restaurant did so poorly during her first night shift that the entire staff quit

Giant Cat Adopts A Tiny New Kitten As His Own, Becoming The Purrfect Foster Dad (Video)

LOL Cats - Mon, 01/15/2024 - 12:00

There is this myth out there… we don't know if you've heard of it, but some people say that cats are… unfeeling. They say that cats don't care about anyone but themselves, that they only tolerate other animals, that they would never choose company unless they had to have it. But we… as cat people, we know better. We know that while it's true that some cats will take a while to warm up to you, eventually, once you're chosen, these cats will love you until the end of time. 

And that's true not just for humans. A cat's love can extend far and wide. We have seen cats adopt kittens from other litters and raise them as their own. We have seen cats adopt puppies into their litters, regardless of how different they might be. We have even seen a momma cat adopt a lynx cub and raise it alongside her kitten. It's just a question of choice, and the choice made by the cat in this video is one of the cutest we have seen.

'I'd prefer not to call you. So I won't': Boss chides employee for getting everything in writing, employee stands his ground

Fail Blog - Mon, 01/15/2024 - 11:00

This dude saw right through his boss and was not afraid to call him out on his nonsense. If your supervisor has a preferred method of communication, always be sure that the reason behind this is not so they can do whatever they want and leave no paper trail in the process. In other words, if you have to call out sick due to an emergency, always get it in writing, even if your boss prefers a phone call. 

Besides, if you're at all like me, emailing is so much better than speaking to your boss on the phone. I recognize that this is a problem specifically for millennials and folks who grew up in the Digital Age, but it's the cold hard truth. We all have to give this Redditor a shout-out for being stern and maintaining a take-no-prisoners mentality even with his boss. Keep scrolling below for the full exchange. When you're done, check out this post about a job applicant whose offer was rescinded.

Any cat owner knows this phrase like a cat knows their way around a litter box - 'if I fits, I sits'. It's one of the staples of cat ownership, finding your cat perched in precariously small boxes, bags, or other random places. We often think to ourselves, "How can that be comfortable?", but after a while, you just accept it in all of its glorious kitty comedy. Heck, if you're anything like us, sometimes you purrposefully leave out an outrageously small box just to see if your cat will make itself a new bed.

From cats in boxes to purrfectly placed in paper bags, these cats found their way to make literally anything comfortable.

'Frankly, he's a clown': Good-for-nothing PhD supervisor gets called out when his student reveals his secret nickname

Fail Blog - Mon, 01/15/2024 - 10:00

Teachers are the compass by which students can find their way through the vast seas of human knowledge. If you're lucky, your teacher is a trustworthy guide and can help you discover every corner of our universe. But sometimes, your assigned teacher is a total dud who can hardly point due north. As many of us can attest, most teachers fall into the latter category, but when you're a PhD candidate struggling to find your way, it's frustrating when your predecessors and advisors fall short of their duties.

‘They lost everything’: Store owner goes bankrupt after being audited for refusing to pay employee's wages

Fail Blog - Mon, 01/15/2024 - 09:00

One store owner played with fire until they got burned… Resulting in them losing their entire business.

But hey, let's start at the beginning, shall we? OP relayed the infuriating tale on Reddit, the place where employees worldwide come to complain about their entitled bosses. OP was working at a mall and was supposed to work a shift, but got told to 'go home' when they arrived. Weird, OP thought. The next day, OP came back to get their check for work they had done in the past couple of weeks, but their boss told them to come back another day. Then the day after that, the same thing happened… All this was not sitting well with OP, who grew a pair and went straight to the mall authorities, who were very helpful and pointed OP in the right direction…

After a little bit of push and shove, OP caused the entire business to go bankrupt. Scroll down to read how they did it… After you are done scrolling, check out this HOA that gave unfair fines to a resident, resulting in the resident getting on the HOA board and tearing it apart from the inside.

Hissterical Series of Funny Cats Being Adorable Little Weirdos And Engaging In Totally 'Normal' Feline Behavior

LOL Cats - Mon, 01/15/2024 - 09:00

Hey pals, you know hot it goes. We are here once again to celebrate cats. Cats, unequivocal rulers of their realm, abide by a unique set of rules and idiosyncrasies. Despite our attempts to train them, their charm prevails, making them endearingly peculiar. Cats are unwaveringly determined to follow their desires, unaffected by societal norms. We respect that, and we aspire to be like that.

Defying conventional logic, cats strategically select the quirkiest spots to perch, following the "if I fits, I sits" mantra. They assert dominance over every nook. Yet, they remain ever so charming. Nevertheless, if it brings joy to our cats, it brings joy to us. We just want to look at them and smile. There is something about these charming creatures that makes us humans oh so happy and charmed. Now, go ahead and enjoy all of this pure feline hilarity in the form of funny cats being the adorable little weirdos that they are!

'Revenge is a dish best served burnt': Chef gets back at customer who complains about her fancy meal

Fail Blog - Mon, 01/15/2024 - 08:00

The feeling of ordering a meal and then disliking it is so awkward. It happens to the best of us. Maybe you decide to try a new soup, only to realize it tastes like seawater and sadness. Or maybe you confidently order a dish you've had numerous times, only to realize this establishment makes the meal with ingredients you don't care for. Or maybe your friends force you to try sushi, and you don't like a single one of those ingredients. But you have to save face in front of your dinner guests. Do you try and choke it down, or do you send it back and request something else? It's a conundrum, especially if you're a people-pleaser who doesn't want to bother the nice waiters. 

Most of the time, however, you're just ordering a normal meal for 10 or 15 dollars. These people in u/Careful-Confidence88's story ordered a very pricey dinner, and apparently had done no prior research. It reminds me of those steak restaurants that charge $$$ to serve you a gold leaf covered steak. People will pay an outrageous amount of money to try a steak that they might not even like. (Does gold leaf taste good? Does it have any taste at all, or just texture? Someone please report back on this if you ever try it.) Maybe these clueless customers are so thrilled to be spending their big bucks that they barely think about what they're actually receiving. 

The OP shared the tale of what happened to them while they were a chef at a fancy dining establishment, which you can check out below. Then, this contractor received the "biggest payday of my life" after doing just a couple minutes of work. 

'There is no cat here': Missing in Action Mischievous Void Cat Is Expurrt In Hiding and Avoiding Human Contact In Hissterical Fashion

LOL Cats - Mon, 01/15/2024 - 08:00

Howdy, everyone! Ever spent a whole hour frantically searching your apartment for a mysteriously vanished cat? We sure have, and it's no picnic. Our crafty felines are hide-and-seek pros, loving to bask in the thrill of hiding as much as they enjoy watching us humans seek. The games can get a bit wild (or paw-some), but we always manage to track down those little rascals.

The goal is to be as comically goofy as a cat can possibly be while hiding. So, hide, but be hilariously bad at it, all while radiating an aura of innocence and pure silliness. Yep, we're not after the super-stealthy ninja cats here; we're on the lookout for those funny and purr-placing cats who can make us burst into laughter at the drop of a hat. Today we are shining our ICanHasCheezburger spotlight on one specific stealthy cat. A mysterious void that enjoys blending into the background while in plain sight. Go ahead, and check it out.
