Every workplace has its secrets, but most of them are on a need-to-know basis. But what happens when you find out something you're not meant to know... you share it on the internet of course! From affairs to shady business deals, Redditers spill all the workplace secrets they aren't meant to know.

The internet is full of stories of people getting fired for all sorts of ridiculous and unfair reasons. And although unemployment is nothing to laugh at, especially during these difficult times, some of the justifications companies use to get rid of their staff are so insulting (and often illegal), that we can only laugh. The hashtag #AndThenIWasFired reveals some of the insane reasons people were let go from their jobs, and they prove just how insane the world is. What's your craziest 'And Then I Was Fired' moment? We'd love to hear from you...

Gone are the days when supermarkets need to use million-dollar advertising campaigns to get their name out there. Some are going for more of a personal approach in getting the job done, like Walmart North East in Maryland. They have started to use an employee of the branch - Charlene - to pose with different products and then posting her photos on their Facebook page. The pictures are hilarious because Charlene's moody expression is in juxtaposition to her laid-back attitude. The supermarket branch has even started a petition for Ellen Degeneres to host Charlene on her show, and you can sign the petition here.

When applying for a job, there are certain things that are a given, such as checking your resume for spelling and grammar mistakes, making sure all your contact details are correct and looking presentable for the interview. Well, as obvious as they may seem, not everyone knows these basic facts, as proved in an AskReddit thread where employees revealed the weirdest and stupidest things they've seen on job applications. Scroll through and laugh in disbelief. 

Having a good boss or a bad boss can be the difference between loving and hating your job. Great bosses motivate us, lift us up, and help us grow professionally. Bad bosses hinder our growth, make us miserable, and make us wish we worked anywhere else. Getting your bad boss fired is a fantasy that not many people get to live out, but a Reddit thread asking those few lucky ones who did it for their stories proves just how satisfying it was. Here are their stories. 

Here are some real pro-tips for your next visit at your local Starbucks. Trust the ones who have already tried it...
