If this is the most salacious they can find, go Meghan.

I grew up with a giant Rottweiler. We were best friends. Wherever he went, I went. To me, he was the sweetest dog. I went to a wedding last year, and ended up talked to a guy I grew up with. I said man, I can’t believe you remember that dog, he was so great. He replied, of course I remember that dog, everyone in the…

“Gas Killing Animal”- sounds like me when I eat beans on my period!

I think you’re right on the money!

THIS is the kind of story that makes me want to get one of those super cool spy pens that records conversations, or like, a button cam, or something, so that you could casually click that on after “You should get a raise. But Paul—” because NOTHING GOOD ever comes after “But Paul” and people say this shit bc they know…

That is awesome. you were kind to try to correct it. I’d probably still be there, wondering if they would double-pay my retirement.

I worked for four years at a mid-size family owned (father/son) company. The father was 83 when I started. From Norway, and an old-school sexist who really disapproved of women who worked outside the home, but he wasn’t there much and I mostly worked with his son - who was a bit of a frat-boyish douche, but not awful…

Oh my god that’s awful. And I guess when they realized the suspected pay disparity went the other way, and you were making so much less than them, their sense of fairness evaporated just like that?

:after re-coding our website and seeing our Google rankings jump 34%:

I worked in the non-profit sector for years. At one particularly high-profile zoo, I was hired as a supervisor for front-end operations when I was in my mid 20s, unmarried with no kids. My boss and I enjoyed a very friendly relationship, and we, and other management employees would grab beers after work occasionally.…

Ugh, I had something similar, no wage increases applied for months, combined with them docking my pay and not paying out my vacation time for months. Finally after almost a year, I thought I got everything corrected, but it turns out they started double paying me, giving me both vacation time and straight time when I…

I was very underpaid at my position. During a period where there were multiple layoffs, I was one of the few getting a raise to bring me up to a more equivalent salary to my male coworker, who I did twice as much work as. When I was about 6 months pregnant, my direct supervisor quit and I temporarily took over her…

So, this is the long saga of how I ran screaming from Corporate America and never looked back (and this is about a 10th of what happened as a whole). It’s really long, you don’t have to read it, but it was nice typing it out.

I work at a fancy prep school, in the science department. When we needed a new department head, a woman with a neuroscience PhD and management experience applied. She didn’t get the post. It was given to a man, with a Bachelor’s degree, with no leadership experience, who did 👏 not 👏 apply👏 for 👏the👏 position 👏.

It wasn’t my boss that tried to fuck me over, but:

Working as a full time non permenant (no health benefits and they can fire me for any reason) State Resource Coordinator for Oregon Department of Administrative Services, I was curiously asked to assist a few DOJ employees with hot cold complaints (that’s what the rude guys at facilities called it when they didn’t…

I am meeting with my HR person this week to talk about my salary versus the average salary for my peers. Should be interesting!
