We were all teenagers once, right? Remember your first job? You were probably like 15 or 16 and it was probably at some fast-food joint or a silly little franchise shop like Claire's (I was 17 working at American Apparel), right? At the time you were probably thinking it was just the place that caused all the drama! Like, that kind of atmosphere is what made all of your fellow teenage employees argue and date. But now that you're olde, you've grown wiser and know the reality of it all. It was adolescence. Surprise, surprise! Teenagers are dramatic. The only people that might be news too are teenagers. It's the hormones and the fact that we're new to society, at least on a more independent level. 

That being said, it's fun to reminisce about those times and that's why there are so many shows like Gossip Girl, Euphoria, or even Skins that are about teen dramas. So we could not read this Reddit post about some teen drama at a fast food restaurant! 

If you lost your job tomorrow, your boss could replace you in just a few hours. No matter who you are, it's always humbling to remember that you're more than your work. Even if you're the top performer who brings in the most sales, or the most beloved waiter at a restaurant, or a cashier who always brightens their customers' days, you're one write-up slip away from losing that job. 

Now, most of us already know this, so we don't need reminding. But this person's insensitive boss decided to tell them about it anyway. That's just distasteful and unpleasant, and it's a belittling way to talk to a worker. It says a lot about how a manager views their own workers when they feel so carefree telling them to their face that they're disposable. This person really hit them with an Uno Reverse, as you can read all about in their story below. 

Next, read the update about the 16-year-old boy who got his car towed by a neighbor after he refused to stop parking on their lawn: "It's not my problem."

Most employees don't bring up problems just for fun. They typically foresee a conundrum and hope to start finding solutions before it's too late. Unfortunately, far too many bosses out there feel threatened when the people underneath them within the company hierarchy discover flaws before they do. Their wounded ego then makes it nearly impossible for employees to raise valid concerns and to try to avoid impending disaster. It's a classic case of an insecure manager whose own incompetence and attitude become the primary reasons for colossal company errors.

In this instance, we have an employee who tried to explain a delay in weekly reporting that meant accurate data for a given week would not be able to be calculated and properly distributed until the following Monday. Of course, the author's boss was unable to hear the criticism and instead implied that the employee was too lazy to get the reporting done by end of day each Friday. Well, it turns out that the only way the author was able to fully communicate the reporting issue was by doing exactly as their boss instructed.

Obtaining your driver's license and first car is a significant milestone in the life of any teenager. But, just when you think you've finally carved out a bit of freedom and individuality, and that you might actually be considered cool now that you don't have to take the bus to school, along come your little siblings to burst your bubble, demanding that you give them a ride, taking your chances of ever sitting with the popular kids once they see that snotty little brat climbing out of your car. (As if the mere presence of the car was going to change anything in the first place.)

Your parents aren't much help either; to them, the solution seems practical, and what's more, with you as your little sibling's chauffeur, they no longer have to worry about being pestered themselves. Of course, it's important to be respectful of other people and their things, even your siblings. So this is a good lesson for the younger sibling also to learn to respect people's things, even their siblings. 

Upon first viewing the subject at hand here it's easy to jump to the conclusion that the older teen who posted the thread is just been a stuck-up teenager who wants nothing to do with their sibling, but after reading through their account their request that their sister not wear their chronically dirty footware is quite reasonable.

There are bad job interviews, and then there are candidates who lie to their interviewer's faces, or cry 3 separate times in one meeting. All of us have flubbed a question or 3, or we've misread the room and turned the conversation into an awkward silence. But some people really go above and beyond when it comes to flunking their job interviews. They almost make it look impressive! 

These folks were kind enough to share what happened during their worst job interview sessions. As mentioned, one woman did cry 3 times during the interview. Why? Because she was very unhappy at her current job, and was hoping to leave ASAP. I understand her emotions… when you desperately want to leave a bad job, you'll cling to any job that comes your way. Still, no matter how upset you are, you've got to at least try and contain your tears until you've completed the interview. Even when you put your best foot forward, it still may not be enough. Crying at your interview just highlights that you won't do well under pressure or that you're not able to separate your work life from your personal life. Even the best candidate in the world won't get a callback after behavior like that. And this woman isn't even the worst interviewee here! Check out the other candidates who messed up badly by scrolling below. 

Next, read about some employees who made huge mistakes, but still kept their jobs: "He stole over $10,000... but was never fired."

Office fridge theft is a classic workplace whodunit, but nothing spices it up like a self-proclaimed vegan caught red-handed with a mouthful of beef lasagna. For weeks, snacks and sodas vanished, but when entire lunches started disappearing, the team chat lit up with complaints. Suspicion quickly landed on Crystal, the only one not lamenting her missing food and the first to lecture you about the ethics of your microwaved leftovers.
