'She trusted my word and denied her a position': Researcher questions if she made the right choice in denying a 'strong applicant' a job

'She trusted my word and denied her a position': Researcher questions if she made the right choice in denying a 'strong applicant' a job

Guilt was eating this researcher up, so she turned to the internet for some help. These students are still quite young—they're both just 19 years old. They still have a lot of learning to do about how the world works and office politics. It's the kinds of things you learn over time, like knowing to schmooze with the right people when you have the opportunity, or knowing about the “praise publicly, criticize privately” rule. When you're young and first starting off, all you know is that you want…

‘She pulled out my herbs and kept the pot’: Tenant uses greenhouse research to get back at landlady for pulling herbs out of garden; weeks later, garden withers

‘She pulled out my herbs and kept the pot’: Tenant uses greenhouse research to get back at landlady for pulling herbs out of garden; weeks later, garden withers

There is no such thing as a 'green thumb'… Tending to a garden takes a lot of effort and knowledge, and if you don't put both in, it will show. Now, imagine you were a greenhouse know-it-all who brought home a pot of herbs you had carefully cultivated throughout the months, and then your landlady ripped them all out because she liked the pot you put it in. If that sounds a little too specific, that is because it is. The OP shared on r/pettyrevenge the story of the summer that her landlady did e…

‘I spent all Christmas on it’: Junior lawyer spends holidays working for incompetent boss, leading to 100s of hours of overtime

‘I spent all Christmas on it’: Junior lawyer spends holidays working for incompetent boss, leading to 100s of hours of overtime

One boss was under the impression he ruined his junior worker's holidays by giving him an unjustifiable amount of work, right before Christmas. The result of this type of tedious task usually results in a nosedive in team morale, but of course, that has never stopped a micromanaging boss, has it? Let's start at the beginning. The events that unfolded that led to hundreds of hours of overtime on OP's part are comical. u/Calledinthe90s, the OP in question, explained how he was working as a junior…

'She wanted to buy grass-fed pork. There is no such thing': 20+ Professionals who rolled their eyes at people who think they're experts, when they're actually just wrong

Your years of career expertise are no match for someone who watched three YouTube videos on the subject. Learning is a lifelong endeavor for some people. They always want to read up on new ideas and form new opinions based off what they're reading or watching at the moment. Sometimes, people think they're so educated on a topic that they know better than a person in that profession. From lawyers to healthcare professionals to software engineers , these professionals have all met ordinary folks…

'Don't make your tenants do your job': Determined tenant uses data analyst skills to research soaring water prices, leading to entire leasing office getting fired by corporate

Problems arise in apartment complexes all the time; I should know, I lived in one. A lot of complexes use rent payment portals, because they're safe, secure, and allow landlords to collect payments online and keep track of everything, nice and tidy. Or at least, they are supposed to be. OP shared that they lived in an apartment complex that was acquired by a new management company, which switched the resident and rent payment portals. To say that this move caused disruptions would be an underst…

Employee skipped over for job position after colleague opposes her nomination

'She might bring team morale down': Braggart employee denied job position after colleague opposes her nomination

A college student really didn't want to recommend her colleague for a job. As the co-lead of a software research lab, this college student enjoys her job, all except for one specific colleague. It's an unfortunate truth that you won't always get along with 100% of your colleagues, but just because you don't care for someone personally, doesn't mean they're not great at their work. However, the OP of this story, u/UsualAd1535, shared that her colleague constantly tries to one-up everyone around…

'It's a huge red flag and you know it': First date gives man the creeps after she spills her invasive 'research'

One guy took to the r/ask subreddit with a burning question after a first date took a strange turn. Is this how dating works in the modern age? As he explained, he went on a first date with a woman, and it seemed to be going well. But after the date — and spending the night at her place — he realized that she had spilled a little too much information about him. She had researched him beforehand, and just rattled off all this personal information. At the time, the OP thought it was really weird,…
