You can only work so many hours every week before you crack. While some think 40 hours a week is a back-breaking amount of working hours, others must tolerate 50-60 hours of weekly work to stay afloat financially. In my opinion, that's when you start getting a bit loopy. If you're working nearly every day without any breaks, you put yourself at risk for long-term health issues and general distress. If you have no time for loved ones or hobbies, then what is the hard work really for? Some people…

I guess we'll never know!

There are some jobs you can't help but call out from sometimes. Sure, sometimes you're actually sick, but you know as well as I do that you're not always telling the gospel truth when calling in with a story about a mystery illness. In college, I was addicted to calling off from my security guard job. Granted, I had a genuinely unsustainable schedule of classes, extracurriculars, and work that made showing up to my 7 AM shift every Monday difficult. Not only that, but I had to work 8 hours that…

That can't be legal

I'm the first to admit I have a cushy office job . I sit practically all day from 10-6, and by definition, I'm probably leading a sedentary lifestyle. I'm lucky to live in New York City, so I get a good amount of walking in every day, but I am not the pillar of active living by any means. If you work a job where you have to be on your feet for hours on end, you probably wish you were in my shoes. Sitting all day might be harmful to your health long-term, but running around all day doing silly l…

I have never been discriminated against on the ground of being blonde. A blessed bottle of bleach touched my scalp for the first time when I was twenty, and I've been addicted ever since. Being blonde has gotten me nothing but compliments and a couple of wild assumptions that it's natural, which is absurd considering the brown caterpillars that are my eyebrows. "Dumb blonde" is one of those playground insults. It can be exceedingly hurtful to kids who are called that, but kids usually grow out…

His salaried employees are only making $30,000

“Quiet quitting” is one of those phrases that's wiggled into our vernacular seemingly overnight. Initially, quiet quitting was when employees would slack off at their jobs, essentially waiting to get fired. S

Surely they can afford two smoke breaks

Businesses fundamentally misunderstand how the average person approaches reviewing something. Unless you are a “Local Guide” on Google Reviews, you are not going to leave a review for a service unless it's a 1-star or a 5-star experience.

Word clouds aren't appropriate for all situations

There's evil, and then there's restaurants stealing tips from their employees. Restaurants already don't pay their workers enough to live on most of the time. Tips are usually the only way restaurant employees make above minimum wage, and when you take that away, they have next to no pay to take home. When restaurants do something this slimy, they try to hide it. Who could forget the Kitchen Nightmares episode where Gordon Ramsey exposes the restaurant owner who steals his servers' tips? The ow…

There's nothing worse than a slimy boss who thinks they're a good person because they pay a little more than minimum wage . Of course, some dirty bosses only pay minimum wage, but at least those people can't rub it in your face that they're allegedly good people; at least they feel a little bit of shame. Working a service job is awful, not only because the pay is usually terrible but because you're constantly being surveilled by your "superiors." Anything you do can and will be used against you…

So selfish

So irresponsible

Not a bad idea
