When you quit your job, you hope you never hear from those people ever again. You put your resignation in writing, date it, send it off, and work your final two weeks in awkward silence. Sometimes, quitting your job goes easily. It's so simple to quit a job in college after the semester is over. Are you a senior? Are you dropping out? Nobody cares! They will get a bunch of hungry freshmen next year who are hungry to work for $9 an hour. It's a lot more difficult to quit a job where you're a vit…

You make the bed you lie in

Trying to obtain the bare minimum required to live is a near-impossible task when you're below the line of poverty. Unfortunately, there are way, way too many jobs that are happy and more than willing to pay you next to nothing . As is the case with many of these sorts of positions, these jobs are menial, mind-numbingly boring, and managed by cruel individuals. The subject of today's story was a worker at a grocery store deli, earning only 12.5 dollars per painstaking hour. As most of us would…

Boss doesn't like the consequences of his own actions, takes it out on employees

I grew up at the point where I was old enough to catch “The Office” while it was on the air, but not quite old enough to understand the humor. My 8-year-old brain hadn't quite reached the capacity to understand dry, cringe humor, so I kind of just chalked the series as something that wasn't really for me. Again, I was a child. Fortunately, I began to come around to it by the time I reached high school. Eventually, coming around to the point where I'd point to it as one of the best network sitco…

It never ends

Before entering an industry, it's good to know whether the people in it are completely rotten . This is easy to gauge when you're only applying to jobs on a small scale. I knew I did not want to work at the Smoothie King in my hometown when I was in high school because all the kids who worked there were absolute menaces. That was easy to avoid. However, if I dedicated my schooling life to becoming a fierce mortuary professional and subsequently found out that everyone in the death industry was…

I'm still clapping for you, nurses

Happy Sunday computer obsessives! We’re back this weekend to offer you another helping of sweet, sweet programming memes . And what better time to browse some code-based funnies than a day you all, hopefully, have off? I’ve said before, I don’t know how to code. At least, I don’t know how to code very well. I’m notoriously bad at understanding the fundamentals of any language. Combine that with a complete inability to do complex math; I just wasn’t built for coding. Thank my freshman-year profe…

The little things are what make a tough workplace at least somewhat bearable. Whether that's talking to your coworkers, getting a nice lunch, or maybe just having a short break every one-in-awhile, the little things most certainly count. At this construction company, it was the communal speaker. According to the employee, who works in a computer position in the company, the construction firm employs a lot of Latino men for much of the physical portions of projects. While the work is difficult,…

The rules are never clear

We got ya

It ain't all glitz and glamor

What better way to celebrate the weekend than looking at a random assortment of funny memes? Had a hard week? Check out some memes. Feeling down in the dumps? Check out some memes. Have a ton of work to catch up on that you've been putting off? Maybe get a little bit of it done and then reward yourself with some memes throughout. I'm not going to lie and say memes will drastically improve your day, but hey? Everyone could use a bit of a pick-me-up. So with that, we've collected another few doze…
