One really bad horror story is that some job centres have very strict attendance rules for their support programs. A job seeker had a family emergency and couldn't attend a session. As a result, they were immediately penalized and had their benefits reduced. This seems very unfair as life can throw unexpected situations at people and the job centre should be more understanding.
I know of a story where a person was promised a specific job training opportunity at the job centre. They prepared for it for weeks, but when the time came, the job centre had forgotten about it and offered no explanation or alternative. It was a huge disappointment for that person who had high hopes of getting new skills and improving their job prospects.
There was a case where the job centre's computer system crashed right when a job seeker was about to submit an important application for a job that was a perfect match for them. The job centre didn't have a proper backup or recovery plan. So the job seeker lost their chance to apply, and the job centre didn't do much to help them get another opportunity. It was a nightmare for that person.
A common horror story is when a partner lies about their other relationships. For instance, a person in a polyamorous relationship tells their primary partner that they are only casually dating someone else, but in reality, they are much more involved. This shatters the trust in the relationship.
Well, there was this one time when an interviewer started criticizing the interviewee's appearance right at the start of the interview. They made comments about their hair and clothes, which had nothing to do with the job. This completely threw the interviewee off and made them feel really self - conscious and unvalued during the whole interview process.
A girl's crush was on a guy who seemed really charming. They went on a date and she thought it went well. But later, she found out he was dating multiple girls at the same time. He was just playing with their feelings, which was really a horror story for her.
One of my worst job horror stories was working in a fast - food restaurant. The manager was extremely rude. He would constantly yell at the employees for the smallest mistakes. There was no proper training, so we were always fumbling around trying to figure things out. The working hours were long and the pay was very low. It was a very demoralizing experience.
One horror story could be long waiting times. People might wait for hours just to be seen by an advisor. Another is unhelpful staff. For example, some staff may give wrong information about available jobs or training programs. Also, there could be issues with the system. Like the system losing someone's application details, causing a lot of stress and delays for the job seeker.
Sure. One of the worst is being in a school with a very authoritarian principal. A teacher I know had no freedom to design her own curriculum. Everything was dictated by the principal, and any deviation was severely punished. It was like teaching in a prison.
Well, here's another one. A guy met a girl online. They agreed to meet at a coffee shop. When he got there, she showed up with a whole bunch of her friends unannounced. It was really strange as he thought it was just going to be the two of them. And her friends were just as invasive, asking him all sorts of personal questions.
Sure. I heard about a guy who played games non - stop for days. He ended up having hallucinations, thinking the game characters were real and in his room. It was really scary for him and his family when he started acting out scenes from the game in real life.
Sure. I had a job at a car wash. There was this one really dirty truck that came in. We thought it would be a normal wash, but as we started spraying water, all kinds of things came out from under the truck. There were old shoes, a lot of mud, and even a dead mouse. It was disgusting but also made us laugh later.
A woman's wedding dress was sold in a lost luggage auction. She had it in her luggage during a trip. The airline lost her bag, and instead of trying to return it to her, it ended up in an auction. She was devastated as the dress held so many sentimental values. She had planned to pass it down to her daughter someday.
