đ€Ż INCRĂVEL: âWhatâs A Little Secret That You Know Only Because You Work In That Industry?â (49 Answers) đČ
I don’t work for Wendys, but they actually have higher standards for their food than anyone else we distribute to.
Their beef is actually never frozen, and they’ll send them back if they get packed with frozen items. They turn away shipments for things like meat (in boxes) touching produce (in boxes), like they should but no one else does. They send back expired or off-batch produce (ex: their tomatoes are usually picked a couple days before the store actually recieves them), which they should, but no one else does.
I still don’t eat fast food, but I like to see food quality taken seriously.
A lot varies by region because that’s how food distribution works.
Your rank within it can heavily influence the number of secrets you learn about your industry. A 2024 survey revealed that executives are 2.5 times more likely than entry-level employees to trust their CEOâs transparency about whatâs really going on within their organization.
On the other hand, associates tend to trust their coworkers more than leadership, feeling more in tune with the pulse of the workplace from a peer perspective.
Notably, job level emerged as a more powerful predictor of these trends than income.
We got in touch with the author of the post, and they shared that the idea to ask Redditors this question came from a simple desire to rack up internet points.
“I was thinking of ‘karma farming,’ so I posted multiple N**W questions,” F_the_Market told Bored Panda. “And this one simply received the most attention (I deleted the other questions).”
The resulting discussion proves that even a playful question can spark meaningful, thought-provoking conversations among strangers online if you strike the right note.
Work in pharmacy.
We get calls every day from patients asking for ways to make their medications last longer, skip doses, etc. Because they can’t afford their meds until they stop calling because they skipped 1 too many doses.
And we know this is happening and there is nothing we can do about it.
I’ve taken one of those calls told a patient that if they don’t take their medications as directed, THEY WILL DIE only for them to ask what their odds are of living without food. Only to go back to the register and continue getting patients their medication.
It [is bad] a lot.
This one will be obvious to most people, but it wasn’t to me at the time:
**Not all doctors are good at their jobs.**
I use to assume that doctors were held to such a high standard that they were all fairly competent. This isn’t true.
I would recommend asking someone in the field who they would recommend for their own family before picking a surgeon.
F_the_Market said that they themselves only managed to get through a few dozen answers before being flooded by an overwhelming number of responses.
As they tried to keep up, they quickly realized the depth and variety of the answers far exceeded their expectations. “The ones I did see were incredible and very personalized,” F_the_Market explained.
The Redditor said what initially seemed like a lighthearted attempt at “karma farming” turned into something much more meaningful, and they appreciated the glimpse they got into the inner workings of various fields that many don’t consider until they ask.
A lot of commercial garden centers pump their plants full of fertilizer before they sell it so it looks the best. Usually so much so that they die or it severely causes harm after a while. Buy locally or go to a legit nursery where they actually care about the quality of their products.

The fact that 7 in 10 American workers reported disruptive change within their organization in the last year also doesn’t help their trust in each other, the organization, and, in turn, the industries. According to a nationally representative Gallup survey of 18,665 people, 20 percent cite a large or very large extent of change. These changes range from restructuring efforts to shifting return-to-office expectations to new leadership and more.
However, while difficulties often affect frontline workers, in the current business environment, leaders and managers are 56% more likely to experience extensive disruptive change in their organization.
Things that you buy that come in âeco-friendlyâ packaging are first removed from their regular plastic packaging and then put back into the new packaging. Itâs actually a double waste.
The places they get their inventory from overseas are not using eco friendly packaging. Go to a container shipyard, everything is shipped to minimize cost.
This is not a secret but isnât well known:
Getting an ambulance ride doesnât get you seen at the hospital faster. They just triage you (sort you by severity) like everyone else. You can get an ambulance ride for a broken finger and then sit in the waiting room for 6 hours, having just wasted the money on an ambulance.
Call an uber or get driven/drive yourself.
Edit: Yes people, if youâre having an emergency definitely DO call and ambulance, and you probably WILL get seen right away.
However, youâre not being seen right away BECAUSE you took the ambulance, youâre being seen right away because youâre critically ill/injured. If someone were to drive you while youâre having a heart attack (which I DO NOT recommend) then you would be seen right away as well. Itâs an injury severity thing not an ambulance vs taxi thing.
Sometimes when a job is posted and the requirements are unrealistic, thatâs because they already have someone that needs to be promoted to that specific position and they simply tailor that job ad so only that person qualifies even if hundreds of people apply.
Corporate consultant here. Probably not that big of a secret, but most executives are unqualified for their jobs and were placed there due to cronyism or nepotism; most job titles and roles in the middle are b******t, and nearly all work in a company is done by individual contributors. In other words, the people making the stuff are getting robbed by the people who don’t know how to make anything.
Nurse patient ratios are too high in most of the country. Lower nurse patient ratios are associated with shorter length of stay, lower readmission rates and lower mortality rates. Nurses who have less patients give better care and their patients are literally less likely to die. But there are only a few states in the US that have legally mandated nurse patient ratios. (I think only California and Oregon.) In other states, many nurses have too many patients. They have too many tasks to complete in too little time; and this is why nurses are burning out in droves and leaving the professionâbecause they feel like they are drowning. They are performing complex, technical tasks under significant time pressure with a high degree of liability and it is highly stressful. 17% of nurses quit within their first year. 56% quit within five years.
Also medical error kills somewhere between 250,000 – 400,000 people a year in the US. No one knows the exact number as medical errors tend to be underreported. Because who wants to admit they may have killed a patient and throw away their lucrative career that they slaved away in school for many years to achieve?
People are horrified when a single jumbo jet crashes and 500 lives are lost. And it is a big news story with lots of coverage when it happens. But the conservative estimate of 250,000 lives lost each year due to medical error is the equivalent of 500 jumbo jets crashing every single [darn] yearâ and no one talks about it. Not a peep. It is happening silently in hospitals all over the country, including the one in your town. This issue is highly underreported.
Carpenter here!
After a 8 years of framing houses, 3 as a foreman, and now 3 years of trim carpentry, Iv realized that the vast majority of houses arenât built to code, or are just slapped together with the cheapest products.
Most inspectors arenât willing to crawl around in the roofs, and wonât look in the subfloor, and plenty of contractors know this. They will take shortcuts, splice things together or will block off and hide s****y work.
If you have an island in your kitchen that has been framed, there is a phenomenal chance that you have some pizza crusts, Modelo bottles, or a p**s bottle hidden inside. Drywallers seem to hate walking their trash to the dumpster.
100 year old houses are a thing of the past.
In the storage industry the staff have to go through abandoned units and check for any dangerous or illegal items and remove any personal possessions before the unit is sold.
Not only are there no surprises, cash is also removed to recover the debt before the unit is sold.
Storage wars style shows are fabricated on lies đ
Also 95% of units have very little of value in them, if someone had thousands in value in storage they would come and pay their bill.
I work at the Hershey factory. This place is really clean and does better in that regard than Lindt and other manufacturers most of the time during inspections but we have occasional dings. Some of those dings can be pretty bad (like standing water in a wash pit which is a big nono) so it makes me wonder how much worse those others are sometimes.
But really, if you ate chicolate lately that wasn’t homemade, we probably have the most sterile and clean candy. Even if the ingredient quality isn’t the highest.
We also dont use spoiled milk of any kind. We take raw milk and turn it into Sweet Condensed Milk and the process of cooking it scalds the milk for a very slight sour taste that some claim to taste.
Also, yeah, all our incredients are quite cheap, but our milk is really high quality and locally sourced when possible. They usually dont have enough capacity, though, so we have to get some from Indiana. And the caramel in Rolos is 100% legit. It’s one of the few things we dont skimp on at all.
Also that little number on the wrapper of each bar you can call to complain or praise is real. And management and factory workers see everything thats posted and what we need to work on to be better. So if you have any complaints or well wishes we actually see those even down to the rank and file.
Worked at Best Buy. We were trained to categorize customers into segments. If someone was rich and older they were referred to as Barry. His wife was Jill and she was all about spending his money. There was the âempty nestersâ group that were old folks who thought technology was too difficult. Then of course the âurbanâ couple which was always portrayed as black people were identified as âwants to keep up with everyone but doesnât have the funds of Barryâ
Edit: forgot to mention this was hard coded into your account. So letâs say someone came to return something out of the return policy. If I put in his phone number it would say BARRY 5 which means heâs the highest type of spender at the store and that I could make the exception for him. So yes, the store basically has a social score.
The largest US manufacturer of eyewear is a total scam. They are insanely overpriced and mostly all of the eyewear in the US is made using the same labs and they just slap a different brand name on them to create diverse product. The markup is anywhere from 500-1000% or even more.
Professor here. Iâve never taken any classes on how to teach. None of us have. Trial by fire.
Your professors hate grading your papers almost – if not more – than you hate writing them.
Healthcare equipment costs are massively inflated in the U.S. For example, the batteries that go into the little blood pressure electric carts will cost hundreds to replace. But they are virtually indentical to the game feeder batteries you can buy at sporting good shops for maybe $20.
And those costs are lower in other countries. The manufacturers know they can inflate costs in the US far more than anywhere else. It is cheaper to buy a replacement xray tube overseas, import it legally, pay all the associated fees and shipping costs than to buy one here in the US. Same tube, same specifications.
When financing a car at the dealership (this includes leasing) they can and will mark up the interest rate almost certainly. Unless you, the consumer, specifically ask them âis this the best rate I qualified for?â then they technically donât have to give you the best rate. They can add as much as they feel they can get away with, then act like theyâre doing you a favor by âdiscounting the rateâ. The Truth in Lending Act states that if asked, they must disclose, but only if asked.
The massive, professional-quality cinema projectors that movie theaters use… the ones that can project crystal-clear 4K+ images… the ones linked to top-notch surround systems that make movies come to life… the ones so big they have a giant exhaust hose…
…they have regular HDMI ports on the side.
The staff has totally ripped each other apart in *Mortal Kombat,* or explored a fantasy world in *Breath of the Wild* or blown away enemies in *Call of Duty* on the big-screen when everyone has left for the night. Or brought in some 4K discs and screened movies that haven’t been in theaters in decades in near cinema-quality. Or loaded up a streaming app and watched a streaming-exclusive movie in theaters.
As a real estate photographerâalmost everyoneâs home is disgusting. You would think they would be in tip top shape ready for their close ups, but no. I have gone into strangerâs homes every day for the last 10 years and 85% of the time they are gross and cluttered. Doesnât matter if itâs a trailer or a mansion. People generally donât clean and their houses are often cluttered and messy. So donât beat yourself up if your house doesnât look like a model home. No one elseâs does either.
Sometimes insurance companies will set âautomatic denialsâ of insurance claims after natural disasters so people will have to resubmit their claim, thus reducing the amount of claims they have to handle.
Video game development is a chaotic mess, it’s a miracle that any game comes out at allâlet alone with any amount of polish.
Also, audiences like to blame QA for bugs, but that’s extremely misguided. I guarantee that QA knows about every bug in detail (including tons most players have never even encountered). The real folks to blame are management who choose not to put resources towards fixing these bugs.
My old professor teaches exercise science, once taught the military, did international research on muscles and was an ex bodybuilding champ, worked at GNC. His schpiel on the entire vitamin industry and more specifically the workout supplements is a whole sham. Why do think these supplements arenât meeting FDA requirements? OTC testosterone boosters? Doesnât work. A majority of the supplements donât work (physicians can support this). Unless you are deficient, your body wonât be absorbing and storing extra vitamins and nutrients in your body; excess gets excreted. Two things he does vouch for are protein use and creatine use.
Your packages get the s*** beat out of them while they are being processed. Fragile? that means throw underhand.
Maybe an open secret by now, but all those real estate reality shows where couples are looking for housesâŠtheyâre already in contract with the one they want before they start filming. The production crew works with a local realtor to find two jabroni houses to take the fall.
That realtor will be in the show credits.
Printer ink for home use printers is disgracefully expensive.
Printer ink for commercial printers is cheap.
Printer software for home use printers is rubbish, just re-skinned from the 2000’s.
Printer software for commercial printers are fantastic, unless your with Mimaki.
