Adjuncts should be paid more (maybe not ten times more - that would average around $35,000 per class, which seems excessive). They should demand more, because the problem won’t fix itself until they do. Unfortunately, that will mean that a lot of adjuncts lose their positions, and they likely need the income. But the…

Yup. You have to pay people for unauthorized overtime. You can fire them if they keep doing it, but you can’t not pay them.

I run a tiny (tiny 2 people tiny) business. My boss/The Owner makes excuses constantly about how a $15 minimum wage would hurt. It hurts to work 60 + hours a week and not get the recognition we deserve. The payment we deserve. I do it for my love for the company, but it gets to a point where you either need to mark-up…

...but not if they worked long hours of their own volition. “What am I supposed to do, sit at the door with a stopwatch?” he said. “I’m not going to do that.”

It has always been anti business. That is why we need government regulations as much as some Americans love everything “business” and hate everything government.

When did paying people for their work become “anti business?”

I run a small (tiny) business, and really, this law is looooong overdue. Pay people for the work they do or for the hours they work, and stop making excuses about how this will hurt - think of the people working long, hard hours for minimal compensation. If overtime is expensive for the employer in dollars, it is even…

(I wouldn’t mind something like this, being added to the article.)

When a company goes into the liqudiation, essentially the liquidators “own” the store stock, and now run the show. When my store, Borders, liquidated, people were upset that things were only 10-20% off when we typically had 30-40% off coupon floating around. Its not the store’s show anymore, it’s the liquidator.

half-listening while he attempted to give me life advice...And of course, that stripper tip wasn’t true.

I think that he was worried she’d perform “Til it Happens to You” again. Maybe she should go with “Me and a Gun”.

If she’s looking for a song to cover, this is a solid choice:

The obvious solution is for all us bitches to start down-voting the piss-poor movies that don’t pass the Bechdel test(yes, all those ones you didn’t rate but watched on HBO because whatever you’re paying for it anyway, might as well or because your s/o wanted to watch it or your brother or whatever who cares). Let’s…

Are you upset that was his charity? It’s not the police dog’s fault human cops can be racist shitheads.

Sounds like the tie-a-witch-to-a-rock-and-throw-them-in-a-lake test.

uhhh no, ruby, it’s never okay to throw things at a person. if you were so offended by his jokes (and i’m sober too, i know it’s important, but really there is nothing someone can say that is so horrific about it) you get up and leave. miss me with this BS excuse

Yeah, sorry. No. French fries are sacrosanct. The Potato Gods are displeased.

I’m a young professional and have been looking to get into a better organization for about a year now. I’ve been a second choice candidate for 3 jobs, and can’t figure out why I can’t seem to seal the deal. I also feel like I’m wearing my reference’s patience a bit thin (two are especially busy people). Any advice for…
