The HR department is ONLY there for the managers/bosses. It is not there for the plebs. Ignore at your own peril.

That was basically the shitstorm. There are 9 people currently in that department, doing exactly the advertised job. So our HR guy received 9 resumes the next day at the same time. To say he was displeased puts it mildly.

Yup - my mom has been at the same job for 30 years and she told me that like 10 years ago she finally made more than $30k - and this is a professional job. She is always confused when I jump around from job to job - I rarely stay more than 3 years at a place because that's usually when I tired of making the exact…

I've a friend who's planning on leaving his job without notice. He's almost fifty and has never not given notice to an employer. It's killing him to do it, but the shitty company he works for will fire him if he tries to work out a notice and then not have to pay him his bonus.

Well, since the concept of a pension seems to be a thing of the past, people aren't really given raises or bonuses based on tenure or performance - who gives a shit about that company, really?

Yeah, JR is just a giant asshole in general. 13, 14 years ago I was serving on the EMS squad at my college during an event where David Spade was doing comedy. His writer opened for him and JR is apparently very close to him. She commandeered us as her personal security force and informed us we were not to allow anyone…

I think it's pretty well-established that Julia Roberts is just a big old bitch.

Everyone has different experiences and I don't know your story, but that's a pretty broad brush you're painting with.

Actually when it comes to issues of race I'm not really barking up the wrong tree when it comes to Jezebel. B/c there is a lot of wrong in a lot of the comments about race and racism, and black men in general get demonized a lot here.

If the gift relates to the occasion, I don't think fairness needs to be considered. Wedding gifts just barely passed the test when they were supposed to be about setting up housekeeping in a more serious way than you'd been doing before.

No way. If someone chooses to give you a gift, no matter what it is, you accept it graciously. There is nothing tacky about getting someone something else. The sense of entitlement it takes to think it's ok to instruct another person how to give you something for free is just mind boggling.

The idea behind a wedding gift is that people are helping you set up house. I know, I know, you've probably already set up house. But then, perhaps, you don't need gifts.

No. Asking people for money is always tacky.

Hit that like the wrath of God. Oh shit you win the interwebs that totally made me LOL, I think I just woke up the dog. I will be using that one.

Agreed. Also, there were no injuries and they weren't trapped in the car they just needed help getting out. It's not exactly some dramatic heroic rescue. A gentleman helped me out of my car after I was hit by a person running a red light and I crashed into a tree. He did not save my life. He simply helped me open a…

I think nothing in the dating world confuses me more than men who say they are not attracted to black women. I just dont understand how an honestly heterosexual man can say that. Oh well, less competition then.

I know, like we have small pox or something. What is so stupid is that we probably come in more color/hair/eye combinations than any other type of women(so you know, you can find black women who look damn near white and have two black parents) but yeah, if you think that way it IS better to know. B/c I think those…

Similarly, I'm not sure why you would feel the need to share that the thought of being intimate with a man whose body isn't your preference makes you vomit. What an odd, excessive, cruel statement to make.

I am the lead author (John Kelly) of the article cited in this editorial. I'm afraid to say that the piece written here is wrong and actually is the complete OPPOSITE of what we found in this study. Women benefited AS MUCH AS men from AA participation, BUT they benefited in DIFFERENT ways from AA. I would strongly…

Gosh, they fooled me. I've been sober for 23 years.
