Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don't see any.

Comment preview: This guy was sitting in his cubicle one day doing paperwork for his company when he heard a voice out of nowhere. "Quit your job. Sell your house. Take the money. Go to Las Vegas." He was a little freaked out by the mysterious voice, but managed to finish ....


Comment preview: A guy is at work when he hears a voice in his head. *Quit your job. Sell your house. Take the money, and go to Las Vegas.* He ignores the voice, but it keeps coming back. *Quit your job. Sell your house. Take the money, and go to Las Vegas.* Months go ....


Comment preview: Am I the only one who REALLY liked the scene at the shoe store? I thought that scene had a LOT in it... The guy (Shoe salesman) was a moral compass to the girl (Angela)... he said, "have some moral fiber... and quit". She explained that HE did not understa ....


Comment preview: I used to work as a clerk at a health unit and the bitch receptionist hated me and wanted my job, BAD. We both bid for the job I was actively doing and she lost because, seniority and I was trained. She quit and had a fit. Before she left though she boo ....


Comment preview: My last job was causing me to get very angry, the amount of strrss was beyond my control. I couldn't stand the sight or feeling of being there, I literally cried sometimes after going home cause I couldn't imagine being at the job any longer. I quit becaus ....


Comment preview: What's with all this "just look for another job" bullshit that keeps getting upvoted like it's some revelation or amazing advice? The problem is there are no jobs! not that he just can't find another one. If he threatens to leave they know there is some ot ....


Comment preview: It's not the employment gap that you'll be asked to explain; it's why you left your previous job. An "employment gap" is typically a gap between two jobs. An employer reviewing a resume would see that from 2004-2008 the candidate held a job, and then from ....


Comment preview: I hate to be the devil's advocate here but chances are you'll only minorly inconvenience your manager if you all quit. I've worked at so many jobs just like this where something crazy happens and everyone bands together, threatening to sue and/or quit. I'v ....


Comment preview: A woman I used to work with got pregnant on purpose to collect welfare. However she made to much money and they told her no. So, one say she decided to quit so she could sit on her ass and collect welfare and have the state pay for her baby. Once welfare f ....


Comment preview: I recently quit my high paying job (70k per year) because it was unsatisfying. The last two weeks have been awesome, and I'm looking forward to the next year. I'll be doing some odd jobs for the summer (remodeling a kitchen, a few odd finish carpentry jo ....


Comment preview: Oh geez I would never ever let a current boss be a reference unless our relationship was EXTREMELY close and I knew they'd understand and have my back even if I didn't get the job and stayed at my current one. I hope that's what your relationship is like w ....


Comment preview: I'm one of those. Both can have their religious freedom... but both should quit their job if their belief interferes with it. Neither have a right to that specific employment position. If you know a job is going to put you in a compromising position, go fi ....


Comment preview: My all-time favorite Drew Carey joke: A guy wakes up one morning hearing a voice inside his head. The voice says, "Quit your job... sell your house... take all your money and go to Las Vegas." He shrugs it off, but later that day he hears the voice again: ....


Comment preview: It might help if you realize that stress is internal. Think of it this way: If you made up your mind to quit, would you be bothered by your boss yelling at you? No, because you're quitting anyways. His opinion is meaningless. Now for the good part: you don ....


Comment preview: Funny story, My old job we had a shitty boss at a telecom company. Our boss had a favourite insult to throw at us " If you don't like it , quit and work at McDonalds" At the time it was one of the higher paying jobs so we all continued to slave away in a c ....


Comment preview: I'm probably out of touch but doesn't 14 people per job sound quite reasonable? If you consider some of these people might already work in retail and be looking to move to a better store or a location near them, that some people may be "just applying" (JSA ....


Comment preview: My at-the-time girlfriend's mom offered me a job worth DOUBLE what I was making now, but she had to give me an interview to make it look "official" for HR. I applied, but "HR" didn't like that I already had a job so she told me to quit and apply again. So ....

Comment preview: Seriously this. I got a job at an office supplies store while in High School, and was approached about a job within my major while a Junior in College by a professor. The job was a massive increase in pay, from the $10/hr I was making at the store (after ....

Comment preview: If I was just gonna say one thing to y'all tonight... I'd say, set the artist free. I'm talking about this artist in here, set it free. I'm saying, quit your day job. Now, I know a lot of you people here, you're saying, "I can't quit my day job. I've got k ....


Comment preview: There's an odd thing that may happen if we implement UBI, though. I don't *hate* my job, but I don't wake up each morning excited to go to work. I actually like what I do, but people and politics get very tiresome. I often hold back what I really think, ....


Comment preview: Very true. I once had two jobs, a full-time job with benefits and a part-time job. My boss left the part-time job, and the boss above her asked me to take over some of her responsibilities for additional hours. He offered me slightly more money. I expla ....
