OMG. This is gold

I am but a poor student, yet my library is vastly bigger than my TV! Plus, the TV was bought 3rd hand to give the dog something to fall asleep to while I get some work done.

Note the memo was addressed to the 'younger folks in the workplace,' i.e. the inexperienced and gullible

Failed his way up the corporate ladder

Also this is the fallacy of the survivor. How many had the same drive, intelligence and opportunities and failed? https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/1827:_Survivorship_Bias

Ooh... I'm definitely using this!

About 10 years. Unfortunately no children, we both have above average paying jobs, my husband is a very very frugal person. We bought a house on my income when he studied back in 2012 when houses were relatively cheap. We currently save his income 100%, paid of the house as soon as possible after he started working. We do fun things and splurge occasionally, but are frugal.

I suffered no management fools and got that a lot on my reviews. Was always from first time supervisors who couldn't manage their way out of a hat and I was semi-retired professional manager. Wasn't going to play their dumb games.

Nothing like dying then being reborn with a Microsoft operation system.

Get addicted to crack, start a pillow company, get a lot of money, do cocaine.

All of the job seekers, horray I got the job! /jk

"Fast paced and dynamic" is code for "overworked, underpaid, with a high turnover rate for good reason."

Speaking from experience?

Nice burn! 😂😂👍

That man needs to relinquish his Senate seat.

Also: tie your hair up to look professional, but not too tight as not to look untouchable

We ahoult normalize more of this!

Stealing this!

To be fair, that’s actually quite clever.

I- wow

Oh how I wish I could go back in time and ask this

Dear Gen-Z, take it from us Millenials - don't go above and beyond. We did it basically our whole lives and only thing we got from it is burnout. Do exactly what you are paid for and NOTHING more, enjoy small things, take care of yourselves, spend time with your loved ones and defend work-life balance.

The Republican's plan for employment.

I’ve always loved this. McDonalds cashier = Director of Food and Beverage Sales at a multibillion dollar corporation. Janitor= Public Health and Safety Sanitation Expert. Homeless Dumpster Diver= Specialized Socio-Economic Urban Archaeologist Etc, but like does any of this actually work lol

Hi, Jeff. Thanks for your message. Quick question; What part of "get a chicken" did you think could be considered a low priority?

I quietly let a male coworker know we could all see his wife's menstrual cycle he tracked on his work calendar. He was incredibly embarrassed and grateful I said something.

I can see my manager’s calendar and everything is labelled “busy”. Even the meetings we are both in.

Sorry. Getting a chicken is more important than this company.

tell me more about his chicken? hmmmm

My work colleagues have asked why I have 1130-1pm blocked out on my calendar. My reply is that lunch is more important then meetings.

Unless the product intro is biscuits, the chicken remains a firm commitment!

they can't let a computer read your resume, dismiss you, and automatically send the generic rejectionletter, unless you put that information in a very rigid form that it can actually work with. Only giving them a resume would actually require them to lift a finger and do some serious work.

Good one.

If you have any questions, please don't. Hesitate to ask.

Aww...the eyes. I can relate buddy.

Isn't life and prison more or less the same? Both are confined, get out for about an hour a day, eat, sleep, repeat. The only difference is the sex. I don't get any 😭😅

Is his name Monty?

I love that! We had a recurring monday meeting named „Complaining about boss”. It was 1 hour long, but we barely covered the topic 😂

Not even a packet of mints. A single mint!

Hate to say it, but I much prefer self-checkout.

That’s me every. Single. Weekday. Then on the weekends I catch up on the sleep I missed during the week

The word numpy makes me LOL for some reason. :)

So it's a global thing 😒

lol+

Yes.

Remember my first raise in my first job. Went from $6.23 minimum wage to $6.65. Yippee!!

FORM A UNION, NOW!

Neutral evil

Sounds like fun

Isn't this that pamphlet by Jehovas witnesses?

The problem with this is that many homeless people already HAVE jobs.

Master's degree to earn $1.66 per child per hour.

How much money are you spending on pads each month!?

Probaly an unpaid internship?
