Wait, so they hate someone who refuses to serve them based on politics...

They do not get paid enough to deal with these assholes, let alone to start some sort of confrontation at their job.

Ugh, or don’t, because literally anything out of the ordinary will feed these peoples’ monstrous persecution complexes.

Change the “you’re” and “you” to “their” and “they”.

“Did you hear what those Dixie Chicks said about our president? Let’s buy their albums and then burn them, that will show them!”

One could draw the conclusion that those who vote Republican aren’t the sharpest pencils in the pack, are they?

We call that Freedom Foam.

They do realize they’re setting themselves up for a whole lot of spit in their coffee, right?

probably not, because she could choose to not be there. And choose to not have a job. And choose to not pay rent. And it's her choice to be on the street. That's what remains of our freedom here.

My girlfriend's car broke down one time when I had a shift at work later that day (she lived in Frederick, MD, and work was in northern Virginia — you can't get from one to the other without a car). I called in to work and told my GM, Jim, that I couldn't make it. Jim BEGGED me to find a way in, because he was already…

True. The frustrating thing to me has been how many people are saying "BOYCOTT SUBWAY!" which...OK, I think Subway blows from both a food and labor policy standpoint, so fuck them if they lose business for this, but this shit happens everywhere. The problem is not Subway, the problem is the system that allows Subway…

That's the thing: it ISN'T deliberate malice. It's something much, much worse: de-sensitized apathy and a ground-in tendency to turn off your basic empathy for your fellow man.

some days it's really hard not to think that Americans are the meanest people in the world. i know this can't be true because i have American family and friends who are angels on earth they're so good-hearted & ethical. but damn, every time i look at American news there are stories like this. so damn many stories…

A "big fat settlement," eh?

I know a common mentality is "The employer doesn't need to give me 2 weeks notice if I'm getting laid off, why should I give the employer 2 weeks notice if I'm leaving?"

I walked out of my last job at around 3pm on a Monday. The working situation was so utterly toxic that it was making me physically ill. I had spoken with management about the environment, as had other employees, but we were told it was "just our perception." So, after encountering a situation that I had complained…

No. In fact, most employees in the US are considered "at will", and don't have contracts at all. "At will" essentially means we can be fired at any time and for any reason without notice. It's pretty standard. As for giving any notice at all, that's simply courtesy. In the US, 2 weeks is the standard amount of time…

I'll give two weeks notice, but I've also walked out on jobs. There doesn't seem to be any real employee/employer loyalty anymore. The company's only looking out for itself, and vice versa for the employee. Sure, they want you to give at least two weeks notice, but when was the last time a company gave you two weeks…

You don't *HAVE* to give two weeks notice, but it's a good thing to do out of courtesy. I would do so unless they're doing something illegal, unethical or it's such a bad place that it warrants getting out immediately. That's a different matter, and use your best judgement depending on the situation.

Ive never given 2 weeks, its a suckers game. Most jobs want you out as soon as you have an inkling of a thought that you're leaving, otherwise you can be gaining more insight on POAs and proprietary knowledge. Ive had coworkers share their future aspirations with bosses and immediately got put on "the list" if it…
