At the retail store I worked at, whenever there was a missing child, we’d call a “Code Adam.” Everyone dropped what they were doing to help search.

One slow night, a 10 year-old couldn’t be found. The parent was panicking, convinced he’d been kidnapped. I gently asked if maybe he’d gone out to the car on his own, only to get yelled at for “not taking it seriously.”
And guess where he was? Sitting in the car.

Sometimes the scariest moments end with the simplest answers.

Exactly. Panic makes people jump to the worst case, but nine times out of ten it’s something simple.

Pretty sure the saga of the slave driven company has come to an end I’m the only HR person at this company. Friday I had full admin rights, and went to check email Saturday; account locked.

All because I couldn’t solve 8 months of payroll issues in a day. 🫠 Good riddance, I’m getting a lawyer.

Hi how much does a florist get paid per hour? Thanks

Back when I was getting started in the food world, I worked flipping burgers at In-n-Out. A man came in and said the burgers he had gotten weren’t right. He dumped the food on the counter and then he started throwing them back behind the counter. We gave him a refund and then his demeanor completely changed. He was calmer and he told us to have a great day as he left us to clean up the mess he made.
