Laughter’s plausible benefits are backed up by research. A report published by the American Physiological Society revealed that “mirthful laughter” may increase endorphins by 27% and human growth hormones by 87%. It was also found to be a “preventive adjunct therapy” for diabetes care.

In simpler terms, here’s an explanation from Harvard Medical School faculty member Natalie Datillo: the brain’s reward system goes offline when not activated regularly. She describes laughter as the “most cost-effective way” to get it back up and running.

Studies also show that these perceived benefits are magnified when another individual is involved. According to researchers, the arousal likely comes from validating emotions brought on by shared laughs.

Many people recognize the power of laughter—so much so that a variation of yoga is centered around it.

Laughter yoga practices the same breathing exercises to keep the body present and calm. As the name suggests, it involves giggles and silly movements between breaths.

A study published in the Journal of Epidemiology provides verifiable evidence on laughter yoga. The findings revealed that people who practiced it for 12 consecutive weeks showed a lowered risk for metabolic syndrome.

Throughout the experiment, participants also showed reduced excess body weight, stress, and body mass index.

Tragedy and comedy have long been linked together. Studies have shown that humor can be an effective tool in dealing with and even deflecting trauma.

The researchers who wrote this 2015 journal article found that healthy humor styles may help shift perspectives from a traumatic event. Serious matters can become more lighthearted without minimizing the gravity of the situation. Instead, it helps regulate stress.

At one of my jobs an applicant in his mid 40s brought his mum. He didn't get the job, but that's mostly because he also wore a shirt open to the waist and put his feet on the desk mid interview.

Once when I was desperate for a job, I applied at taco bell, and was told to come in for a group interview. I show up at the designated time, and we're all sitting around at different tables, and the interviewer is going from table to table. If noticed over half (maybe 60%?) Of the people there are in their pajamas, or what could pass for pajamas. I figure I'm a shoo in. Nope, didn't get the job. Was told I was "over qualified, and wouldn't be happy there". Showed up to eat a couple weeks later, and two of the pajamas people were behind the counter. They were right, I definitely wouldn't have been happy there.

I highly doubt the employee's' definitions of "unreasonable compensation" are actually unreasonable given the cost of living, but everything below that is ridiculous. If college grads are asking parents to accompany them to job interviews, shame on the grads; if parents are insisting on tagging along to their adult child's interviews double shame on the parents.

Worst I’ve seen and it happened several times, a woman coming in looking for restaurant work with her husband/boyfriend there. Always, a sketchy down on his luck control freak. One woman boss actually had the woman follow her into the kitchen so she could ask her if she needed help to get away from him. But she said no.

I had an interview scheduled with a guy who seemed to be about 18. He showed up half an hour late so I told him I would not be interviewing him as I had other appointments scheduled and he didn't meet the time he was sceduled for. 5 minutes later his dad came into security demanding to see me and started berating me for not being professional and wasting his sons time. I told him it was his son who wasted my time by not showing up, and reminded the father I have no obligation to speak to him. He then said it was HIS fault his son was late, so I told him, in front of his son, that he can explain it was HIS poor planning that cost his son an opportunity for a job that would see him earning $42/hour within 3 years.

If a company offers jobs that pay below a living wage with toxic working environments, they are getting what they pay for. If they want long-term employees with good communication skills, a professional appearance, and a good work ethic, they will have to start paying for them.
