     Work; the thing we do in exchange for money. Sometimes work can be fun. Do you have fun at work? Sometimes work can be fulfilling. Is your job fulfilling? However, there is one thing that usually makes or breaks the enjoyment of your occupation; other people. Nine times out of ten the other people you meet at your job are terrible and suck any enjoyment out of the room. Is Cheryl from HR a bitch? How so? Is Greg always unreliable? How come? Did Pat screw you over to look good in front of the boss? Did you get revenge? Please share stories of how the grown, mature adults you work with can act like the most churlish of children and perhaps together we can come to a greater understanding of the human condition.

Do you really want to work at a place with "oops stations" for when animals come in and poo poo everywhere?

At my friends job they hired a new lady. They had interviewed her over skype and she was very knowledgeable and seems like a good fit so they brought her on. She was fired two weeks later. Turns out the person who showed up for the job was different that the one in the interview. She got her friend to do the interview for her and figured she could figure out everything on the job. She ended up telling a coworker the truth and he told the boss who brought her into his office and yelled at her until she cried then escorted her out of the building.

People were starting to catch on that she might actually not know who to program computers since she asked a lot of basic questions and would take a long time to do tasks because she was looking up how to do it online.

Apparently it's too hard to turn them around to put a hold slip on them. They could have just asked me not to, but no, gotta go bitch about it. I hope you learned your lesson
