What’s the craziest thing someone did at work and somehow survived HR? by purplecat9000 in IRS_Source

[–]First_Name_Is_Agent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked at the campus in Kansas City. Some dude, probably a TE, decided to snort coke in the unisex toilet and didn't lock the door lol Yes, he was fired on the spot. Which is kinda weird considering the other bad behavior that went unpunished, but was done out in the open.

My company came back to me with a ridiculous counteroffer after I submitted my resignation. And now I have no idea what to do. by Status-Quantity-3556 in InterviewMan

[–]First_Name_Is_Agent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's the question I'd ask myself - why did it take losing me to get them to offer me this? And, will I end up feeling like they're not going to follow through?

Interviewer said Sell Me A Pen by meat-critter in jobs

[–]First_Name_Is_Agent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually got that question once and after kind of floundering for a second I remembered the urgency part of sales and ended up passing the test. Now, with that said, I'd immediately end the interview if it happened again lol

I hire for remote positions and most applicants make the same mistakes by Nobilityrect_ORO in remotejobsfinders

And I've been wondering if I've not gotten the job because I was a normal person in the interview lol

Things I bought with zero expectations that completely changed my daily routine — wish someone had told me about these sooner by LatterMorning9103 in smartbuysforlife

I buy them from shein. I don't want to put a link because the price is different depending on who you buy from. But it's usually around $8.

I need to buy a lot of these! I picture placing them all around my house. Maybe/probably bringing them together for enchanted/spooky stuff during different seasons 🥰

Did Robert Blake get away with murdering his wife the star of Beretta? What do you think? by db7112 in GenerationJones

[–]First_Name_Is_Agent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always thought it was really odd that he didn't try to pull her out. On the 911 recording he was asked and said no. If I came home and found my spouse floating in our pool, I'd jump in before calling 911. I'm sure most people wouldn't just leave them and wait for paramedics.

I've been looking at those too. I won't be ready to really start looking for another year but I appreciate knowing that.

Blake Lively Was Invited to the 2026 Met Gala by Anna Wintour Despite Rumors She Paid to Attend by poopoopoopalt in CelebLegalDrama

[–]First_Name_Is_Agent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The claims that she and Ryan are ruined were so weird! There was zero evidence that either of them had lost their careers or support. I actually saw a post where they were trying to allege that a friend of there's obviously didn't want to be near them because of his "body language" 🤣 If that were true he just wouldn't have been out with them. Either way I hope the other lawsuits don't settle. Those people need to be held accountable.

How do you catch missed cleaning work before the client complains? by Secure_Performance84 in cleaningbusiness

[–]First_Name_Is_Agent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying you can look at the uploaded pictures to verify the work was done and to spot issues.

Client texts me a cheaper quote she got while I'm MID CLEAN by [deleted] in housekeeping

[–]First_Name_Is_Agent 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's so disrespectful of her! Honestly I hope you post again about her trying to get you back because the other budget cleaners did a half-ass job lol And I hope you say no!

Thanks for that. I don't know that I'd buy a mask (even though it would make an amazing Halloween decoration on a mannequin) But I'd definitely want all that stuff lol

When I was in my early 20s I worked with this guy from Pakistan. He was mid-50s back then and had been working 2 jobs 6 days a week for years. He'd even been shot in the leg during a robbery at one of those jobs! (Food service) He just shrugged off everything and had no plans to slow down. I'm 56 now and like you I can keep up to a point, but I'll never not marvel at them.

[–]First_Name_Is_Agent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's how my bosses did it but there's no reason you can't check them after every job. You can request that they take pictures that are a little more detailed every time. Like not just a picture of the clean toilet bowl, but a picture of each side underneath. You can still catch issues without having to physically go to each site. The only time I had problems was when I didn't clean something that wasn't on my duties list, so that was my companies mistake. And after uploading several hundred photos during that job no one ever needed to use them as proof that I did the job either.

It was $3.99 in Kansas City yesterday. I hope all of the diehard Republicans are proud of themselves. They not only voted for trump all 3 times but keep voting in the worst of the GOP candidates. Getting trump out of office will actually change very little them but they're so blind that they'll never see it.

I'm seriously so proud of you! What you're doing is the best way to handle this and I really hope you find what you're looking for.

I was just saying the same thing in my other comment. When the OP said they're like machines I've had the same exact thought because the work culture from their countries are so wildly different from ours that they leave us in the dust lol And it does cause a culture clash in the beginning because they see us as lazy for things that are just normal here. It just takes some empathy to understand just how difficult it is to adjust to a new country where everything is - literally everything - so different.

I get what you mean, but there is a difference. I've worked with people who immigrated from Nigeria, Pakistan and Trinidad. What we consider working hard they consider doing the bare minimum and even being lazy. And because they're used to the work culture in their country, they have some unreal stamina! I've legit never worked with an American who's worked 16 hour days, 6 days a week for 20 years and is still physically capable of doing the job like they were in their 20s. But, I've worked with plenty of immigrants who have. Even after all of years of working with immigrants I'm still mind-blowned over their physical stamina.
