25 Grown-Up Equivalents to Discovering Santa Isn’t Real
A harsh reality of adulthood is coming to the realization that there’s no good answer to your manager’s “Can you pick up another shift?” text. This question, of course, joins a litany of other stress-inducing queries, like “Can you hop on a quick call?” and “So, what exactly did you say to that customer yesterday?”
Thankfully, one Redditor has crunched the numbers and figured out a solution for the first question. You just have to be up for playing a little game. “I learned real quick in the work force that if you said ‘Yes’ the first time, you’re reminded how lucky you are to have a job with extra shifts or overtime,” they explained. “But then say ‘No’ the next time you’re asked, then you’re a POS. However, if you said ‘No’ for the first several times, then finally ‘Yes’ you’re a hero.”
The whole thing is a bit of an employment Saw trap, but they’re right. Other Redditors have divulged the times their eyes were opened to the ways of the world, and man, if you’re having a really good day, this will definitely ruin it.
