Episode 61 - Conditions Have Deteriorated

This week on Need Not Apply, a massive New Jersey blizzard tries to ruin everyone’s plans, Gary throws out his back shoveling snow, and somehow we end up discussing Pentagon pizza tracking before diving into some absolutely legendary workplace revenge stories.

Because sometimes karma doesn’t knock politely. It kicks the door in.

From the Pro Revenge subreddit, we’re reading stories where patience runs out, receipts get collected, and the wrong people finally learn that actions have consequences.

• The coworker who played the long game and exposed an office creep

• A nightmare client who forgot recordings exist

• Corporate egos vs very organized employees

• Revenge that’s equal parts petty, professional, and deeply satisfying

Because the internet never rests:

• 🐒 The viral baby monkey clutching a stuffed animal and why the story isn’t what people think

• 🧊 NASA discovers a Cold War nuclear base buried under Greenland ice

• 📺 Why everyone suddenly watches TV with subtitles on

• 🤖 New research says fear of AI replacing jobs might actually be affecting mental health

• 🦷 Ancient beauty trends that permanently dyed teeth black thousands of years ago
