Employers of today don’t make it worth it to stay by not giving raises, slashing benefits, managers/work environments who make it unbearable to stay, or downright abuse (hours expected, micromanaging every little detail, etc). There are people who like to job hop, but aren’t most of us craving stability and routine? But we also need to be paid respectably for the work we do and have some freedom to be able to do our work without having someone breathing down our neck.

I’m not shedding a tear for businesses that can’t find workers because the jobs they’re hiring for don’t pay well enough for the work expected. By the same token, if you quit a job and don’t have something lined up or some type of plan (and a backup to that plan as well), miss me with the tearful pleas on Facebook and GoFundMe. If you’re doing the least (as a business or as an individual) and you expect success and dollars to just fall in to your lap, think again. And sit down.

I know so many people in positions where they’re being overworked and practically harassed by management, and they’re too scared to leave for one reason or another (change, fear of retribution as two examples). And then I also know people who do 10 minutes of actual work for every hour spent at their job. I wish I could switch these folks around.

The hardest working jobs I’ve had have been the lowest paying. Those were being a food server and working in a retail stockroom. The easiest jobs have been office jobs, but they also paid the most. But I needed those early, harder experiences to appreciate the easier, less stressful ones I’ve had in my more recent work history.

soo much that is messed up about.
how can a 6 year old even manage to walk, let alone ride a scooter after drinking smirnoff? I'd have thought that even a very very little bit would almost immediately put any kid down & out for some amount of sleep

and $2000 for bail? that's as ridiculous as letting a kid drink alcohol IMO

It’s a Smirnoff Ice not straight vodka haha.

This chess alleged cheating scandal is cringe inducing. And wide reaching. Even Elon Musk weighing in. Maybe someone can link one of the news feeds to here?
