Ever wondered how often hotel pillows are actually washed? Or how some restaurants manage to sell expired sushi?
Recently, a Threads user asked people to spill the juiciest secrets from their past jobs, and the answers prove that sometimes the best whistleblowers are the ones who’ve already handed in their resignation letters.
While many confessions reveal the dirty truths, some former employees also shared positive insider tips, like how to score hidden discounts.
The biggest takeaway? As the person who started the thread put it: whatever you think is bad, it’s actually worse. Read on for the most eye-opening confessions.

I worked at 7 brew. They leave milk out in high temps all day, literally saw people use 70 degree half and half to make drinks. Also they “cook” white mocha and Caramel in boiling hot water so it’s easier and faster to pour into scoops. Meaning you’re drinking bacteria constantly since milk over 41 degrees is bad. Also no one washes their hands unless they are told

I worked as a nanny for a family who owned a business.
The boss tried to get me to sleep with him. I never did, but he did leave em cash in random places and bought my first car.
I didn't realize at the time that this was as predatory as I realize it now.
I was like 19.

Make someone mad in the drive thru at BK, get a warmed up burger from the waste bucket where we put burgers that sit under the warmer lamps too long.
That was back in the 90’s.

i worked at a supermarket people treat like disney world. everything, and i mean everything, comes in prepared or frozen - we filled and frosted frozen cakes, baked frozen loaves of par baked bread, every prepared food (including the salads) came in bagged - before COVID, there were hot bars and you'd literally dump a bag into a hotel pan to sell to customers for $18.99 a pound, now they just dump it into containers. they have a whole kitchen and chefs on staff - and it's all an illusion

not me, but i knew a scientist whose team found a cure for pancreatic cancer. the FDA didn’t approve it because it was a cure and not a treatment.
