71 Shocking Industry Secrets Insiders Are Desperate to Keep Hidden from You
I will never leave an immediate family member alone in a hospital at night. You shouldn’t either.
Medical: anyone who says medical staff don’t talk about patients is a liar. Everyone is allowed to vent about their job. We deal with ignorant, rude, judgemental, noncompliant people all the time, sometimes all day! Expecting people to not vent about their day is unrealistic. We all need an outlet to reduce stress. What you’re supposed to do is discuss it in a closed-door setting where no one else can hear, like an office, empty room, or car.
Seeing techs talk sh*t at the front desk is WILD.
30-year secondary educator:
If you give your kid a smart phone in middle school (or earlier), you will be hindering their educational progress from then on.
Random marine safety for cruise ships:
Cruise ships only have to follow the safety protocols of the country they are “flagged” in. Many cruise companies will purposely register in countries with the lowest safety standards to skirt around inspections, protocols, and maintenance, and also not be held liable for any accidents, injuries, or deaths.
People reaching out to attorneys need to understand the difference between contingency and hourly. Contigencency is when they take your case and agree to be paid when a settlement is reached.
Hourly is everything else and it goes from around 250 to 1000 dollars an hour these days. People need to understand that barging into a lawyers office and begging them to take the case is a trope of 70s television. Hourly attorneys NEVER do contingency work.
PS Hourly attorneys choose clients based only on their ability to pay.
Periodically the wastewater plants shut down for 8-48 hours for maintenance. Under SF there are transit boxes that can handle the holding of sewage and wastewater until the plant is back up.
One of the biggest worries? The “bugs” or microbes that process the waste. If they die out in huge numbers during a shutdown it’s a mess to restart things and we have to bring them from another plant (there are two in SF).
Teacher: The kids that a lot of people think are smart are still kind of slow. The phones are k**ling these kids’ ability to critically think and they have zero comprehension. Their social skills are also poor.

Middle School ELA Teacher.
Go ahead and turn the lights on in the spa massage room. See why they keep the rooms dim.
Private equity healthcare is a nightmare. They are swapping physicians out with nurse practitioners and people are DYING because of it. There are NO standards for education or training for NPs. You can do entire programs online and have your “clinical hours” signed off by your friends or paid for. It’s actual insane. Nurse Practitioners should be treated as radioactive levels of dangerous until explicitly proven otherwise.
Hi in tech here. Once the quantum computers come online (and they ARE coming online there’s a free one you can use on ibms website RN) it’s truly TRULY over for us. There will be no such thing as encryption anymore. No such thing as privacy. ANYWHERE. Your bank account numbers lol. Social security numbers. Good one. Once they’re online we are WELL AND TRULY f**ked. I mean we already are but there’s no coming back from THAT.
Gym owner here:
1. Group fitness facilities that offer 6 or 8 week challenges see you as a number. It’s a crash diet.
2. If you have a free membership through your insurer (i.e. Medicare) the gym is most likely getting paid 50%-ish of normal rates, usually 3 months in arrears. I only accept these arrangements because I like the people – financially, they aren’t worth it.
3. A lot of gyms (the good ones) aren’t going to accept ClassPass and its ilk because the layouts are so bad.
When your inquiry to a photographer (or an artist of any kind, presumably) starts with effusive praise, it serves not to butter us up but to make us on edge and hyper aware of the fact that you’re about to try to rip us off.
Aircraft mechanic here. Please pleas please stop taking off your shoes on the airplane. Airplane bathrooms and airport bathrooms are Petri dishes. If you have to puke, do not puke in the sink. If you have trash or a dirty diaper, do NOT flush it.
Also if a flight is delayed for a maintenance issue, that is a GOOD thing. You’d rather arrive alive and late rather than not arrive at all ok? I’d be scared to fly on an airline that never has maintenance delays.
