I genuinely didn’t know, like, 70% of these.
Y’all…some of the submissions were w-i-l-d!
Without further ado, let the tea spilling commence:
1.
“I’m a recruiter.
90% of your applications will never be seen by human eyes.
They all go through AI filters and resume scanners, and most are rejected.
Still, no guarantee it will be viewed.”
That is how recruiters find YOU.

“I work at a university, and we’re heavily discouraged from telling students to drop out.
The second one really bothers me.”

“I worked at a water park.
Every day, people poop in the pools.
EVERY SINGLE DAY!!
Multiple times a day.
We just scoop it out and tell the guests to exit the pool for 20-30 minutes.
As long as the chlorine is at an acceptable level, we dont add any more.
“When I was younger, I worked at chain restaurants.
Everyone drank; it didnt matter your age.
It was all fun and games until some toddler got drunk.
Many years later, there was anews storyabout it in a different state.
I knew exactly how the mistake happened.
Thats why they switched to juice boxes for kids.”

“I work in a hospital.
They won’t have enough great things to say.
If the doctor is an a-hole or has botched surgeries, we just keep it plain.
“I work in automotive paint repair.
I fix a lot of scratches and scrapes on bumpers and doors.
Much of my work is from car dealerships.
You have no idea how many ‘brand new’ cars I have painted, so they look brand new.
I think I average probably around two per week that I repair.
It goes right back in stock for sale, brand new.”
“I work in the games section at an amusement park.
The ‘family deals’ we have are just meant to make people spend more money.
Yes, theyre getting more chances per dollar, but also paying double what they were planning to.
Its the same thing with the trade-ups.
“My hubby interned for a local radio station.
He was asked to call in for a cash prize for a daily quiz.
Every day, another person working at the radio station called in.
They split the cash between themselves.”

“I worked at a major jewelry retailer you’ll find in almost every shopping center in the US.
Go to a local jeweler who will charge half and probably does the retailer’s repairs, too.”
“I was a software designer for 37 years.

“I worked at a clothing boutique for years and priced all the clothes and jewelry.
For clothes, you’re paying at least three times what we paid for them.
For example, we bought it for $15 and sold it for $45.
Jewelry was even worse.
If we bought a necklace for $5, we would sell it for $25.
Everything always sold.”
“I used to work for an adult live-streaming site.
A lot of women would complain that they weren’t getting enough traffic.
It’s because we would curate the front page and put certain women at the top.

“I worked in high-end professional kitchens for decades, serving a wide variety of styles and themes.
“I work for a PPO online grid.
If you have to see an out-of-web connection provider that isnt a hospital, ask about their self-pay rates.

Its the same stuff.”
“I work at a trampoline/adventure park.
We don’t clean the ballpit, like, ever.
Some kid peed in there once, and they just told an employee to stick a mop in there.
We’re supposed to clean it like 2-4 times a year.
Also, we never clean the baby changing stations.
It didn’t click to me to maybe wipe it down.
If I’m on the bathrooms, it’s now added to my to-do list.”

“In the ’80s, I worked for a drugstore chain based in the Southeast US.
He had heard our announcement while walking around the mall and was responding!”
“I worked as a cook at a few popular chain restaurants.
Hardly anything is made fresh, even at places that claim to do so.
If people request ‘fresh’ food, its often reheated in a microwave or fryer basket.
you could make the same stuff at home for a fraction of the cost.”
“I used to work for a frozen foods company that processed and packaged frozen vegetables.
They’re all the same.
The only time its a different product is if you buy organic.”
I’m talking 5-10 grand or more, easy.
Beware of what they tell you.
Most things can be learned through YouTube.”
“I worked at a fairly popular retail store.
Many places nowadays have their own credit card that lets people earn points for the store.
The majority of us hated harassing customers to sign up, but our jobs pretty much depended on it.
We were told our pay rate/raise depended on the number of cards we sold, which was highly competitive.
Many employees did nothing in their departments except advertise credit cards and got rewarded heavily.
“I was a hairstylist.
I soon learned that ECU meant ‘eternal care unit.’
Always thought that was rather sweet.”
