After 8 rounds of interviews, this prospective candidate thought they had the job in the bag, but when his recruiter suddenly ghosted him, their true intentions became clear. Behind the facade of a job application, this company was getting job-seekers to work for free, assigning extensive, unpaid "take-home" projects under the guise of an interview trial. 

But this guy wasn't about to let his hard work get exploited, even if it meant burning the bridge he'd spent months building. 

There is no such thing as a "short notice" when it comes to quitting your job, because if you find yourself needing to quit your job, any notice you give to your employer should be appreciated.

Let's be honest, most bosses don't deserve anything more than an "I'm leaving, boss, see you never", which includes the toxic boss in the story below.

The myth about cats and dogs hating one another is about to be busted yet again. 

It is still a widely known "fact" that cats and dogs hate one another, but we, as people who love both cats and dogs, have seen time and time again that it is, in fact, not true. Cats and dogs can be best friends. Under the right circumstances. 

Some cats grow up with dogs, and that way, they are able to learn each other's differences and understand what these differences mean, rather than being afraid of them. Other cats bond with dogs over time, after spending a lot of time with them, and learning that the big, panting, fluffy, tail-wagging machine is actually a total lovebug, rather than something to be scared of. 

Of course, it's not always easy. Cats and dogs really are different. So many of their behavioral cues are completely opposite. But a lot of us - people - are different too, and we know that with enough determination and enough desire, we can overcome any differences separating us. The same is true for cats and dogs. They just need to want to be friends enough, and it ends up working out. 

Despite the fact that normally it takes time for cats and dogs to bond, some of them actually end up doing it very quickly. We think that they both understand good intentions, and if the intentions are good, then the differences between them don't actually matter. That is what we think happened in this video. 

The kitten was very spooked by the doggo at first. The doggo was excited, wanted to make a friend quickly, but he was trying anyway, looking away, trying to seem less intimidating. The kitten wanted a friend, and so did the dog, and they made the effort, each in their own way, to make that happen. And before you know it, within a very short amount of time, this tiny orange kitten went from fearing to loving and cuddling with a giant Alaskan Malamute puppy, as if the universe knew that they were meant to meet and be friends all along. 

Have our beloved pop stars lost sight of the culture? Harry Styles' new dance-pop record, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally, is not hitting the zeitgeist in the way that his previous records did. And this wouldn't be the first time in recent memory that a major pop star's highly anticipated new album failed to meet the cultural moment.

Sometimes all you need to start your week is a cute cat purring in your lap or staring at you while you make breakfast and regret everything you did over the weekend.

Your cat may look at you with disappointment, and you know he's right. Just do your business and feed me, hooman. You make coffee while staring into space, processing everything that happened and everything you need to do next. The Monday existential stare hits hard. 

Maybe you said yes to every plan you got invited to during the weekend. One dinner turned into three, one drink turned into five, one birthday party turned into the wildest karaoke night ever. And suddenly, it's Monday. Your body is awake but your soul is still somewhere between a crazy Saturday night and a gloomy Sunday evening. Now you have to work, and your cat is the only one judging your life choices. He's sitting there waiting to be fed, looking so lovely and silently judging you at the same time. Being adorable is basically his only responsibility. You're so lucky to have your own personal emotional support coworker living with you. 

This collection of cat memes is the boost you need to tackle all your responsibilities and start your day on the right paw.

What are the rules for bridesmaids' dresses? Do the rules change if the bride is the one who buys the dress for you? But what if you pay for the alterations? Can you wear it out before the actual wedding? This bride and her party say absolutely not! 

A fast-food new-hire found themselves already 30 minutes late for their first shift when the manager forgot to inform them of the schedule, leading to a tense conversation as they were out of town and unable to make the shift, bringing to a head the questions of expectations and accountability in the workplace.

Some cats arrive politely at the front door. Ducky decided to make her grand entrance in the middle of the street.

Last October, a tiny kitten was found sitting right in the middle of the road. She was hungry, covered in fleas, and somehow had managed to avoid getting hit by any of the passing cars. It's honestly a miracle she made it through the night out there. Instead of leaving her to fend for herself, this rescuer stopped, scooped her up, and brought her home.

Once she was safe indoors, things started looking up quickly. The fleas were taken care of, her food bowl stayed full, and the little street kitten finally got the chance to relax. She was given the name Ducky, an orange creamsicle baby who turned out to be incredibly sweet. What started as a tiny, scruffy kitten from the road slowly turned into a healthy, growing cat with a big personality.

Over the months Ducky has gotten bigger, stronger, and much more comfortable in her new home. The scared kitten from the road has been replaced by a happy cat who clearly enjoys the good life. There are cozy spots to nap, regular meals, and plenty of attention coming her way.

For someone who had always hoped the cat distribution system would eventually choose them, the wait finally paid off. The system delivered an orange kitten straight from the street, and she ended up being the sweetest little companion. Now Ducky is growing up safe, loved, and very clearly right where she was meant to be.

The second a mug of coffee appears, cats everywhere decide it's time to investigate the catpuccino situation.

Monday morning. Coffee gets poured. Mug hits the table. Within seconds a cat appears out of nowhere like it just heard a secret signal. Cats can sleep through alarms, vacuum cleaners, and entire conversations, but the moment coffee shows up they are suddenly wide awake and extremely interested.

A cat that discovers catpuccinos will never forget it. From that moment on, every cup of coffee becomes a full investigation. The mug is sniffed. The rim is inspected. A tiny head slowly leans closer like nobody will notice what's about to happen. The goal is simple: get one small sip before the hooman realizes what's going on.

Some cats get bold about it. Sitting right next to the mug, staring at it like it legally belongs to them. The second the human looks away, the cat moves in. Quick lick. Mission accomplished. Suddenly the cat looks very alert for a creature that was asleep five minutes earlier.

After that, the cat starts showing up for every single coffee break. Mug appears, cat appears. It's basically part of the routine now. The human gets their coffee, and the cat arrives hoping for a little catpuccino sample. Monday mornings might belong to caffeine, but the cats clearly think the coffee bar is open for everyone.

When a couple of workers showed up to examine a 3-century-old tree, this person was aghast at the thought of losing it. Although trees are precious to their owners, they're a lot less special to the electrical workers who are tasked with trimming them. There are plenty of stories about overzealous workers who have "trimmed" trees back, only for the homeowner to realize that their trees had been cut down way too far to be saved. 

Cats celebrate March in style. 

March brings us a lot of things. It's sort of the stripping away of winter worries, weary dreary weather starts to brighten. The grass gets greener, and Springtime feels like it's just on the verge of rolling around. We're well into March, so here are some purrfect cat memes that depict absolute March madness. March is a month that's full of symbolism, standing at the liminal space between winter and spring. It holds the feeling of a transitory time. Depending on where you are in the world it could still feel like you're immersed in winter, or like you're about to wear flip flops and head to a picnic. Because of this purrfect ephemeral space it's often times associated with renewal, awakening, and the promise of a bright spring full of growth. 

Cats also give us that feeling that things are looking up. When they knock something off the table while making full eye contact with you, it's actually a sign that they love you! As love and springtime entangle each other, these March madness cat memes entangle your mind and mood into something positive. March is the return of spring. Things become brighter, colors are luridly popping off, like reds and oranges of flowers, green grasses, and leaves on a tree. The days become longer, and you no longer need your winter boots and coat. 

Cats are an incredible part of March symbolism, in that they're active after the winter blues. Changing the weather means changing moods as well. The month is known for a sudden burst of sunshine, rains that only bring more flowers. It's the idea of new beginnings. Many people (and cats) feel a sense of motivation during this time of year. After the slower pace of winter, the increasing daylight can boost energy and inspire you to start fresh projects, spend more time outdoors, appreciate the world around you, and scroll more cat memes. So enjoy this harvested, springtime madness collection of cat memes to celebrate March madness in kitty cat style. 

No one can resist a teeny tiny kitten in need. 

That's exactly what happened – a kitten was in need. A man found her in a storeroom crying, she's so small that he doesn't even know how to care for her. He usually doesn't like cats, but he took one look at her and went, "awwww," and the deal was sealed, she was his. He gives a detailed list of how he's been caring for her so far. He's been feeding her with a dropper and says she drinks about 10-15 ml of diluted milk per feeding, and he's been feeding her every 2-3 hours. He claims she sleeps a lot and sometimes has small body tremors/shivers. He doesn't think she's cold, but after looking at the comments, it seems like she might be. He says he doesn't have a lot of experience with pets, and that's why he's seeking advice from the internet on how to care for her. He says she's able to crawl but seems very weak. She's also been crawling on top of him at a mere 230 g. The comments all seem to be in accordance with the fact that she needs to be warmer, and she needs his comfort. He did the right thing by asking people what to do, or else it could have ended badly for him and the cat. Read the full story below, and don't let a preconceived notion of a pet stop you from adopting a cat of your own! 

This landlord is having an eye-opening experience about what his tenants live through each day.Many landlords don't live in the buildings they manage, so they don't know what the day-to-day experience is like. When it thunderstorms, they aren't the ones putting buckets around the apartments to catch the ceiling drippings. When it's winter and the heat won't turn on, they don't get chilly, because they live in a separate building. And, as you probably know if you've ever lived in a landlord-run building, they will ignore a request to fix a problem until you literally tell them face-to-face that it needs immediate fixing. 

Sometimes the shortest rescue stories are the sweetest, much like this one which tells the tale of a kitten who was rescued from the cold and promptly returned to his family after being missing for a mere 48 hours.

It is true, in most cases the longer the rescue takes the more harrowing the story is. Often involving injuries, illnesses or worse. Which is why we are excited to be bringing you this story which tells the tale of a tiny kitten who happened to somehow get out of the warmth and comfort of his home. And in a surprising turn of events, instead of being scared and hiding, this kitten went out in search of support to get himself home, or at least out of the cold that was worsening.

Honestly, it sounds like an animated movie, and we would be the first in line to buy tickets to see this tiny kitten named Tux weave his way through the world until he found his way home. Reuniting with his family who had been desperately searching for him the whole time he was missing. 
 

These homeowners might be making a huge mistake in their negotiations with the nearby HOA.

Not only was their home never meant to be a part of any homeowner's association, but they also managed to successfully steer clear of these vipers for decades. Over time, the ever-growing HOA neighborhood surrounded this house on practically all sides, yet they could never convince these residents to join due to the home's existence back in the days when the area was barely developed.

However, when a recent public road was built and funded by the HOA and its paying residents, the board began to take greater issue with the only non-HOA folks around.

Working from home can be quite the challenge with all the comforts of home to distract you. But in this collection of pawfessional felines we have an array of cat children keeping their pawrents company and focused while working from home.

After all, someone has to be responsible for buying the food in the home and it is most certainly not going to be our cat children as they have the soul of a hooman who worked in manual labor for 80 years of their life and is not going to lift a muscle to help no matter what. And we should really count ourselves lucky that there is someone out there for each of us cat pawrents who cares enough about our financial stability to encourage us to work to the best of our abilities so that we manage to hold on to our jobs in this tough employment climate.

So with that being said, give yourself a minute or two to enjoy these cute cats lounging on their pawrents' laps while working and then get back to work yourself. Lest you want to answer to your cat when you get home as to why you do not have a job an longer…
 

Workplace friendships really are wild sometimes. One minute, you are sharing fries after work, and the next, you are apparently the main character in someone else's relationship saga without even knowing it

This one has all the red flags, truly, all of them. A hyper jealous partner who has never met the alleged threat. A coworker who loves the attention of the friendship but also loves retelling how much trouble that friendship gets her into. Then, somehow, the guy who did absolutely nothing is the one she punishes for her own choices.

Every single day, somewhere in the world, people make their dreams come true. Whether they get accepted to their dream job, have their dream wedding, or land the role of a lifetime. So why do we care so much about how some people got to the position that made it all possible?

Social media, as we all know by now, is a powerful tool for making dreams come true, by showcasing their talents. Even if it was never their initial plan when they started posting. Though it is clear how powerful social media can be, most people don't expect their first-ever post to change their lives.

What kind of cat owner lets a cat with kittens roam outside to be lost for over a month?

How many times have we sat here and typed out this same sentiment? If you're going to "own" a cat, you need to take responsibility for it. That means keeping it safe, and even if it cries and screams to go outside, you have to teach it to be an indoor cat. Especially if it just had kittens. The big, bad world is no place for a momma cat and her baby kittens to survive in. Not with cars speeding by, hungry predators looking for their next meal, and snowy weather just waiting to do them harm.

Luckily, mom and her babies were rescued by a neighbor who found them in their shed. They took them in, and honestly, they did their due diligence in trying to find the owner. They posted on Facebook, asked the neighbors, called local vets to see if anyone reported a missing cat and kittens, but got no response. So, they did what any compassionate and caring purrson would: they found homes for the kittens and kept the momma cat.

Well, the "original owner" showed up out of the blue and demanded her cat and kittens back. She even threatened to call the police!

Okay, Karen, you go ahead and call the police. We can't wait for them to show up and laugh in your face.

An owner who doesn't care enough to find her fur babies is not a cat owner in our eyes at all. Scroll down to read the rest of the story!
