Yeah, right. Even in school your hardest efforts could be mocked and ridiculed by teachers, or they put more pressure on you to try harder.

Hard work will be rewarded with...more work.

I was asked to speak to someone in corporate about employee retention and basically what would it take to draw in new hires. I work in a warehouse so it's not exactly the career choice of many people. I told her money only does so much and when people can work for the same wage elsewhere and do much less there's not much that's going to help. She kinda fake smiled at me before telling me that would do. Corporations trying to schmooze people into work and telling them it's a fun place to work is a joke. Come with the money or not at all.

Thought that all my life, never really caught on till the last year before I retired. If I was recognized anywhere, the business failed or I was downsized. My last job even had the have-a-slice-of-pizza-but-no-raise thing going.

oh it'll get noticed all right. and because they now know you work hard, expect more work.

Biggest. Lie. Ever.

No, but not working hard often will be noticed and penalized. No rewards for doing well, but if you are slower and not putting in 150%, you probably will be seen as not a team player and not worthy of a promotion.

More like you'll be exploited & underpaid & over looked for promotions!

I think this one is true but you'll be assigned more work instead of appreciation

IF ONLY!!!!

Yeah, this one is straight up bs. Usually a life lesson learned the hard way.

Work for a good employer and hard work will be rewarded.

hahahahaha

😂

Bro brought disease, slavery, poverty, death, war, pain, suffering, he is such a great guy! /s

The theory only really gained acceptance from the 1960s onwards, so you're showing your age.

"You won't always have a pocket in your pants".

They make kids hate school better. School should be based on developing knowledge, not funneling knowledge into our brains so that we can put it on paper for something I don’t give an f about. Our school system has to change. We need development as our key goal in education. As a kid living in a US state that is placed 48h in education, we have to fücking change. Rant over

Not only that but now you can get money by people watching you play with computers 🤔😅

Glad that c**p was gone by the mid-80s and early 90s. Sinistrals unite!

Reminds me of the paperless office they envisioned in the 90s.

I'm from Alabama, and was taught a lot in the 80's about how sorry and unforgivable the institution of slavery was. Perhaps it was at a crux, when the views went from defending the confederacy to a full condemnation, or just teachers willing to do their due diligence, but were were also taught of how the Europeans set up the colonies to run on slavery in the first place. We were taught that fellow Africans rounded up the slaves, their own kith and kin, and sold them to the Europeans for profit and arms, taught how some tribes threatened war and tried to continue the slave trade after the English, Spanish Portuguese and others stopped buying. We were taught how Anthony Johnson, a black Angolan and former slave, created the breed of lifelong chattel slavery in the United States by going to court to retain a slave named John Cassor. In short, we were taught a lot of raw and ugly truth, not just about our state, but the nation as a whole, the cause and effect. The truth, on all sides.

Where do I get a candle like that?? 🤩

Pluto took a demotion so the other dwarf planets could get a promotion! I like that future generations will now know about Ceres, Haumea, Makemake, Sedna, Eris, Gonggong, Quaoar, Orcus and Salacia.

There are several animals who started off as cryptids, like okapi or coleacanth. Makes me wonder if there'll ever be a day where a yetti or a lake monster (Nessie) will be regarded as a totally normal animal.

Yep, free to be gunned down in, free to die because you can't afford healthcare...

Good thing it doesn't. Pretty much all my joints make that noise. Knuckles, neck, knees, ankles, wrists, elbows...

Les’ go Leif! Oh wait, nvm. Let’s go Native Americans!

The model of an atom.... There re different models of the atom, each geared to different levels of education/understanding. As a student progresses they are taught, "What you learned in previous years is just an approximation. THIS is closer to reality." And a different model is presented.

Or that shopping carts would get so tiny.

I’m not what you’d call “young,” but I think I recall always knowing this. Granted, I did grow up around volcanologists. Anyone else remember this “slow” belief?

Maybe it says something about the teacher's belief system. I mean... there are people who say that the Orange Guy was a great president even though he's one of the "very fine people".

Sadly, Governor DeSantis in Florida is trying to teach this Florida schools.

If your blood turns blue it's usually a bad sign. The arteries and veins that appear blue are just because they're moving deoxygenated blood back to the heart. And that blood in those veins is actually still red!

But only four are beautiful. It's like "she gave me the seven best years of my life." "You've been married 20 years." "I said what I said"

Only in the same sense that boiling water gets rid of nutrients.

Some mom's... NOT ALL... just some you know

wait the brain cells thing isn't true? when did the correct fact come out?

The Manhattan Project was underway at that time, but it was VERY classified!

Bird with cold blood... BHWEHHEHEHAHA-

Why the French, specifically? I think the Soviets were pretty invested in maintaining separation, too
