Why would you even respond instead of just ignoring these ridiculous requests? I don’t think I’ve ever had a manager text me unless there was some kind of emergency.

This is a true story (with minor alterations for anonymity). Using throwaway because people might read Reddit. I (36M) used to work at a firm fitting medical devices for clients. Have you ever worked with someone who is the most insecure, small minded, status seeking, racist, ass kissing, full of envy, bullying person in the world? The manager there, lets call him Trash Human (TH) initially looked to be a pleasant guy. I try to see the good side of everyone, but my time working with TH leaves me no doubt that there are trashy people in the world. A few incidents come to mind: INCIDENT 1 TH has a guilty conscience. I got on the bad side of TH the second day of work when I asked a colleague, “Where is TH?” because I needed to ask him a few questions about work procedures and paperwork. Half an hour…

I recently interviewed for a manager position for a company in Pennsylvania, right on the Pennsylvania/Maryland border. While discussing the job details it was brought up that they have trouble keeping workers because they pay $7.25 minimum wage for Pennsylvania, when 10 minutes across the border the minimum wage in Maryland is $12.50. 🤔🥴 brain teaser that one.
