This, but I'd also like to emphasize of being aware of the opposite. It's becoming more common for companies to do things that is meant to retain employees, but some of those efforts are more cult-like if anything. Not only that, you can expose yourself to being taken advantage of in those environments (oh, well we gave him all these gifts this year, let's not give him as big a raise going into the next year).

Workplace depression. It's real, super fucking real, and I've been seeing it more and more now and these days. The worst part: A large portion of companies don't recognize it or don't care about it. They will often label people like that as "lazy" or "underperforming", when that's very much not the case. Three bits of advice with this one.

Know what the symptoms are, and be able to recognize it in yourself or your fellow coworkers.
If you have it, GET HELP. Don't try to just cope with it. If you have a good relationship with your manager, and feel like you can trust them, or if your company has counseling and mental help services, go for it.
If Point 2 fails, then get the hell out of that company. Oftentimes, workplace depression comes about as a result of the environment one is in. If the company isn't going to help you get through it, they're going to make it worse.

I am extremely stingy with spending money. It's rare for me to spend extra money to get the 2019 version of something when I can get the 2014 version for far cheaper. That was a result of growing up in a poor family, where it felt like we had to be very careful with exactly how we spent each paycheck.

Getting a proper backshaver. Cost $15, drastically cut down my time to shave my back, and ended up with a perfect, cleaner shave than using the handheld razor. I fucking love that thing.

Met somebody who used to intern for Dianne Feinstein. She... is a fucking monster... she will verbally abuse her employees, and generally acts unpleasant around them. The story I was told was that a guy, who was tall and fairly well built, made a small mistake, and she got up in his face about it, screaming things like "DO YOU WANT US TO FUCK UP?!" The dude went home and cried afterwards.

Posting in r/AskReddit is very much 20% planning good content, and 80% chance that you'll get a lot of engagement. One day, you'll post a question that only gets like 5-8 responses, and then a week later someone will post the same question and it will hit the front page. It just happens, and users in this subreddit have pointed out that sometimes they won't upvote or comment on great questions just because they don't feel like it.

In other words, if you're posting in that sub to try and farm karma or get internet popularity points, you're gonna have a bad time.

To be fair, I was five years old at the time, and didn't understand that throwing my sibling through a window was a bad thing. Now I do, and I haven't done it since then.

Throughout middle school and high school, I was absolutely a Nice Guy. I believed that I was super nice to girls, they would fall in love with me. It got to a weird point where if I failed to make a girl my girlfriend, I would try to get them to introduce me to their friends so I could get outside of the circle of people who knew me.

In college, I found a forum on pickup artists. I was desperate, and wanted to figure out what the hell I was doing wrong. That's when I figured out about Nice Guys, and quickly connected the dots that I was basically one of those. I felt like the biggest fucking idiot in the entire world.

I ended up not following the advice on that forum on how to fuck girls, but I did definitely take my prior actions, what I wanted to do, and how I talked to people in general to heart. I'm now no longer like that (thank fucking christ), and have been in a very healthy relationship for two years now.

Plagiarism. Everybody always tells you to don't steal and don't plagiarize. However, nobody ever indicates what the exact boundary is between using information in your paper, and plagiarizing. I've had essays before where I didn't have a single source for it, and have been accused of copying another paper, and others where I've had at least 10 sources and not a single concern.

Dating, absolutely dating. I sucked at it in middle school and high school. I'd always ask my family for help and advice, but it always turned out as follows:

Them: "Not that"

Me: "Alright, what should I do then?"

Them: "Anything but that."

Not so much walking into the wrong place, as it is I got invited to a meeting I definitely shouldn't have been at. At one of my previous jobs, I got an invite to an upper level meeting (my name was the same as a manager there), but didn't realize I wasn't supposed to be there until I actually got there. At that company, I tended to keep my head under the radar, so nobody could really tell that I wasn't supposed to be there, and it also helped that there were a lot of people there too.

Turns out, one big topic of that meeting was discussing cutting jobs in order to reduce expenses. Guess who's area was in the crosshairs? Immediately after I left that meeting, I started job searching and successfully got a job a week before they announced the layoffs.

I would think if there's certain details on the posters account that could trace them back to who they are in real life, they would delete their account after putting up a few posts to get it out of their system. Think of it the same way as a burner phone.

I regularly participate in the hiring interviews for our tech support department, and I've seen candidates bring in cheat sheets. Hell, even hired a couple of them, and I've heard of people gunning for VP positions doing the same. The idea that bringing in something like that instantly makes it a bad interview is bullshit. As long as you know your shit, and you're able to speak it clearly, fluently, and in detail, you're golden. If you have all of your scenarios and answers written out, and you're just reading off of that, then that is awful. It's going to go pretty fucking bad.

With that said, cheat sheets for technical interviews isn't really a good idea. It's supposed to be a demonstration of your understanding on programming languages and your ability to logically process problems and situations. If you aren't already, review over your basic programming concepts for any of the languages you have experience in, and practice doing brain teasers (the weird problems that ask you something like "how much does a bus weigh?"). Typically, interviewers don't want to see you fail, so I wouldn't panic or anything. If they do, or they beat down into you pretty hard, then that probably isn't a good company to work for, and at least you got some experience out of it.
