My old job kept paying me for months after I quit and I never said a word 👍

It's a few years ago, I quit my retail job. I put in my two weeks, said my goodbyes, and honestly thought that was the end of it. But then, a couple of weeks later, I checked my bank account, and boom, there was a paycheck. At first, I just figured it was for leftover hours or something like that. But then another check hit my account. And another. This went on for about four months straight. I would just be sitting at home, watching Netflix, and suddenly, a direct deposit would hit my account like I had just worked two full 40-hour weeks. I was pretty paranoid they would eventually want it back, so I didn't go crazy spending it. But I definitely used it for rent and groceries, which was a huge help at the time. Then, one day, the money just stopped showing up, and I never heard a single word from them. It's been years now, and I still wonder if they ever even realized what happened. Or if some payroll system just kept me on autopilot until someone finally noticed. It's one of those wild stories I sometimes tell, and people never believe me. #WorkStories #UnexpectedMoney #RetailLife #PayrollGlitch #TrueStory #Mystery #money #Wages #JobCareer #Job

How I Handled a Tough Interview Question

Ever been caught off guard by an interview question? Last week, I was in the hot seat for a position I really wanted. The interviewer asked, "Describe a time you failed at work and how you handled it." My mind went blank for a second, and I felt the pressure building. After a deep breath, I shared a story from when I was 28, leading a project that missed its deadline. I explained how I took responsibility, communicated openly with my team, and worked overtime to get us back on track. It wasn’t easy to admit my mistakes, but I realized honesty and growth matter more than perfection. Have you ever faced a question that stumped you in an interview? How did you handle it?
