I live in a state with transparent salary laws and this argument that posting the salary range isn’t deceptive is laughable. If that were true, why wouldn’t they be transparent and make it clear it’s a salary range and not a hiring range? The fact is, most people searching for a job are most interested in what they would be earning when they’re hired, not a theoretical wage 5, 10, or 15 years in the future.

People talking about wanting to lose weight or dieting. It’s one thing to say “I’m going to skip dessert because I’m watching what I eat” but more often than not, it turns into this dark, self hating thing, e.g. “I gained so much weight over the holidays, I can’t believe I’m up to X lbs, I look so ugly.” Women especially seem to bond over these conversations and it makes me really uncomfortable and sad to be honest.

It appears to be a public high school.

For fucks sake. I hope her family calls the ACLU.

What does shaking your ass at a private party have to do with your academics? This is the dumbest situation. This poor girl.

The worst typo I ever made was texting my friend who is a Black woman that she needed a bigger TV. Unfortunately the b & n are right next to each other on the keyboard and I wrote one of the most offensive words ever. Even though it was an innocent mistake, I apologized profusely to her.

“Do we have any pineapple at home?” is our safe word for social situations when one of us needs a reason to leave a situation or change the conversation because they’re uncomfortable. I detest pineapple.

I work in worker’s compensation and am pretty familiar with Amazon’s (lack of) safety practices and this does not surprise me in the least. My state recently ordered Amazon to pay a bunch of fines for willfully skirting safety rules, but even $85,000 in fines is nothing compared to the money they make because of skirting those laws in the first place.

I’m also a millennial with a similar experience in my first job in 2004 or 2005, except instead of racial jokes, it was jokes about boobs, sexist rumors about another coworker moonlighting as a stripper, unwanted touching, etc, and when I reported it, I was told to “grow up” by my supervisor.

I think caring what happens to the world at large is a pretty big emotional burden to carry.

It’s disgusting cops are victim blaming a literal 6th grader for being preyed on, but not at all surprising unfortunately.

Social worker is pretty high on the list. Most are overworked, underpaid and treated poorly by their management, their clients, or both.
