i don’t believe that that is Ted Cruz’s body. whose body is it? i demand an investigation!

It's not everyday you see the worst thing you've ever seen.

LOL. Your anecdotal evidence and paranoia sure does trump 100 years science. Sure, man.

openly discourage men from being aggressive in life whether it’s hunting, sports, or just living to the fullest.

Could you give me a reasonable source that says raw milk does contain the enzymes, or that pasteurisation removes them? Thank you.

A couple months ago an email was sent by our regional vp to every store in his market on accident (basically entire west coast of United States) that detailed what every manager was making. Boy oh boy was that insightful and incredibly useful in salary negotiations. I turned that knowledge and the fact that the city I…

The only real way to get your salary increased is to find another job that you are willing to go to. You then tell them that X has made me an offer for $20K more. You would like to stay, but you need the money. If they want you, they will meet or exceed the offer, if they do not, they would never have paid you the…

Umm, what? Your family status should not have any influence on what you are paid.

Yes. Not SWAT, but sellers should absolutely be prosecuted. Advancing the belief that your product is more healthy, when in fact it is hugely dangerous (stand up, hippies, all of you who are open to giving your kid E. coli) should be prosecutable. Raw milk is no more reasonable than refusing to vaccinate your kid; it…

Lack of salary transparency benefits ONLY the employer—full stop. Of course most companies ‘frown’ on it. But, fellow employees’ salaries and your own personal need are the worst arguments to make. I heartily endorse your advice of doing research (both within and without the company) and also looking for a new gig.…

Yes! I found one that is unhomogenized and “vat pasteurized”, which I believe means holding the milk longer at lower temperatures. I don’t give two [useless objects] for the alleged health benefits, don’t care that it’s from orange cows with fake udders, I just like the fact that it tastes and feels like milk from…

My field (and others) are intentionally muddying the waters by making all new jobs temp-to-hire. First, you are negotiating an hourly rate that is artifically lowered because the temp agency is tacking on their percentage fee. If you jump through enough hoops and let the company string you along for Y months to Z…

I lived in Sudan last year, and my host family got their milk from a guy who drove around the neighborhood in a donkey cart every day with a big urn of fresh milk on the back. And let me tell you, it was WORK to make that milk suitable for drinking. The family had a set of milk scalding pans that were JUST for milk…

Better solution:

At my last job, a male writer was making 15k more than I was. He was busted plagiarizing TWICE and not fired. I also wrote twice the volume he did. I brought it up to my boss and was told to “focus on my own work.”

I’m in a union and a government employee. I know what everyone makes and our salaries are posted in the newspaper every year. There still is discrimination in how people are treated, who gets promotions, and who gets training, but it is much much less than in a closed organization. It makes for a friendlier place to…

What turnip truck did Art Markman fall off and when? Sweet Jesus he’s about as naive as a Disney princess.

“Often, companies say they don’t want employees to share their salaries because of privacy issues or they want to avoid employee issues around misunderstandings,”

I would say there’s two aspects of this. Contacting me (as the person in charge of the search committee) and asking questions about the position or getting a feel for the job is a good thing. Using that information to inform your cover letter and resume is a better thing. It shows me you’re motivated and gets your…

"Jesus Goblins", what an amazing way to describe it!
