Editor's note: This article was originally published on April 16, 2023. It has since been updated. Don't you love having the upper hand in a situation after an employer tries to take you for a fool and little do they know that you are aware of everything that has transpired while you were gone? If not, a user on Reddit shared a story about when their former workplace called them back on board after “ghosting” them mid-pandemic. Work-life is exhausting, but when your employer tries to act smart and make you work the same job with relatively less pay, you do not have the patience to stick around any longer. We are all trying to make a living here, but hostile work environments and wages that barely get you through the month are something that nobody likes to partake in.

The thread, shared on r/antiwork, quickly garnered over 60,000 upvotes and more than 3,000 comments, resonating with many who have faced similar situations.

Success in life sometimes depends more on courage and impudence than on pure intelligence. There may be some truth to this, but having a high IQ has never been a disadvantage. Are you interested in your own intelligence level? It’s easier to assess than you think.

Congratulations to this week’s winner, Laurena Jenkins Hoffmeyer!. Laurena writes, “Imagine my amazement when my guide and I came around the bushes in the pouring rain and encountered Craig, who at age 52, is Kenya’s largest tusker male elephant in Kenya. He was wandering one of the conservancies and I feel honored to have been able to spend time in his presence on my most recent visit to Kenya.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears.
