What are the absolute worst lunches for someone to reheat in the office microwave? We had a someone do fish and brussel sprouts in my old job and it smelled like a dumpster for the rest of the day.

I work in an area that’s ~40% Indian… I have no qualms with them, they’re nice people… but for whatever reason they feel the need to bring lunch everyday… so the floor smells like leftover Indian cuisine…

Do they put on deodorant? I think that smell will be worse.

The food and spices coming out to pores.

Not at all knocking them, nicest people and delicious food

I think y’all covered the worst microwaved foods; but let’s not forget the stench of egg salad or tuna salad sandwiches when someone eats them at their desk.

Omg, sorry. I totally just had tuna at my desk for the first time today lol.

Sambhar reheated in microwave without putting lid on it… amazing smell for many hours.

FISH.

For some reason, we now have microwaves on EVERY floor and there are some pretty repulsive smells that waft down the hallways at lunchtimes. Stinky fish, curries, other smelly foods - just unpleasant for the rest of us. Previously the microwaves were just in the cafeteria which made more sense.

Job called to schedule an interview and let me think about it. Decided against it due to daily miles and road construction. I also can not get off for the interview. I’m always covering someone. Sadly, I really wanted that job. Good pay, state benefits. Want to call back so bad and see if they could interview me in 2 weeks. 😢

Hi all, How do you deal with having a good relationship with an ex-colleague, and then that person switches jobs, becomes a hiring manager, is hiring for a position you’re perfect for (experience + credentials) and then you reach out to them saying you’re interested and why it would be a good idea - and then they completely ghost you..I also sent an application via the website and got rejected. I am really always trying to help out old coworkwrs with getting jobs, but this is just frustrating 🥲

Recently started going through the interview process. I ended up going through 2 interviews in about a week. After the first interview I heard back the following day saying that they wanted to meet for a second one. It’s been about 4 days now since the second interview, which felt like it went great, and still haven’t heard anything. Am I being impatient or should I have heard back by now? I already sent a thank you message after the second interview, should I try to follow up again?
