It is definitely low. Most high end caregiver ONLY positions (can include childcare, some light scheduling/household management and meal prep for the children) pay 100k a year. This woman is asking for multiple positions in one and seems clueless as to how people with money typically distribute and compensate labor in…

I worked for this kind of person - in the Bay Area, no less - and to call it an “absolute fucking nightmare” would be a serious understatement.

$86K seems a bit low for what is, essentially, a 24/7 on-call job.

There was a really fascinating study done in academia a few years ago that highlighted one of the real problems with how leave and associated benefits like tenure clock stoppage affect men and women in very different ways. Ironically, policies that allow faculty members to stop their tenure clock for a year instituted…

I think it’s also important to remember that 10-12 years ago, no one was available for constant texting, Facebook messaging, or video chatting. We’re now all suddenly supposed to be expected to drop everything for anyone the moment they reach out through any channel (and there are many!).

I came here to say this. Many of my friends suffer from anxiety, depression, dating problems etc. And as a friend I always want to listen to them. But I also have those same issues, and sometimes I can’t handle dealing with it. Being low on spoons takes a toll.

Just a couple thoughts:

That’s not the point at all. It’s that all of us are already carrying a certain amount of emotional burden on any given day. There is nothing narcissistic to recognize their are moments in which we don’t have the bandwidth to safely carry other people’s.

As someone who was once part of a similar insurrection against arrogant, incompetent, and condescending management, I want to applaud all of y’all for today’s showing. I’m sure you’re simultaneously enjoying the fun of mutiny while also understanding the risk. Please also know how much it means to us here in the feebl…

These dogs are most certainly more deserving of human compassion and love than say, Jim Spanfeller (who by the way, if you didn’t know, has an email address: jim@g-omedia.com). That stain deserves to hear why a dog is more noble and deserving of human love and affection than he is.

You guys are awesome. It is not hyperbole to say that this site often gets me through the day. Keep up the good work, and for the love of god do not stick to sports.

Man, I love people who self-own through being hilariously inept. You know, pumpkin thieves, thin-skinned vulture capitalist owners of blog sites, those kinds of folks.

It seems a little weird to have an article about a performer being erased from videos that doesn’t include a picture of the performer?

Does Kirby Howell-Baptiste ever sleep? Man, she is everywhere. (honestly, at least four tv shows that have aired in the last year and there’s probably some I’m missing.)

Dude, this guy I dated years ago told me the same story, but instead of Spain, it was in Chicago.

Nope, not buying it.

There’s something vaguely therapy shaming about that headline, me thinks.

Therapy is GREAT and everybody should have a chance at speaking with a thoughtful, intelligent empathetic counselor at one point in their life, especially during a crisis. 

Two years ago, I got severely, awfully sick (probably the flu). I didn’t go to work for the entire week. It was all I could do just to keep myself drinking liquids and soup and shuffling to bed. The worst part was my husband was traveling for business, so I was all alone, just me and our sweet black cat Libby.

It sounds like you might need to measure yourself and see. Try /r/abrathatfits it’s brafitting reddit community. They have a ton of info on their side bar. I’ve found that people that think they need a half size really need a 3 to 4 size smaller band and larger cup size a well.  Of course different brands and styles…
