I’m going to keep the brewery private, and that’s going to irritate you. What’s going to irritate you more is that without a doubt, the majority of the other breweries with food service/bartending most likely have similar policies.

“You have something super contagious that’s also disgusting to look at. Let’s make you work invisibly, for what essentially comes down to FOR FREE because you aren’t getting tipped, and by the way that silverware you’re touching goes in people’s hands and mouths.”

I love you so much for this!!!!

Yeah I mean it’s not like servers LIKE calling off either- If you don’t work you literally dont make money. If you’re sick you’re sick.

I remember working in a place with a three strikes policy. It was food service. Half of the employees didn’t have health insurance and couldn’t afford to go to the doctor for something like a stomach virus, just to get a fucking doctor’s note, because god knows they weren’t going to pay money to fill prescriptions.

I can’t stop laughing at the idea of some rando tweeting “ur head shape like deflated football,” like just completely unprompted.

DING DING DING DING DING.

Write it for yourself, you brilliant diamond.

Oh God. Of course that’s what happened. Taylor Berman got me banned from Gawker once and someone who just fired him spent one of their days off getting me unbanned. Still grey tho, 2 years later.

The fuck are you grey, my friend? I had no idea because you always get yourself into the black.

Okay, people better educated in French law than I am: To what extent does France’s ban on hijab go, anyway? Is Zara within their legal rights to just be like “it’s federal law” or what?

Ahahahehehebehahahaha

omg

His farewell tweet was something like “I’ll always have rosebud.”

Im not sure about Shrayber (but he’s fantastic and will be hired wherever he wants, immediately) but Ubertrout is already shitfaced and seems optimistic. I bet he’s already getting offers. Kitchenette has gotta be Gawker Media’s most lucrative offsite because it’s so fucking popular.

I don’t recall him actually taking a jab at Ina. Just a light-hearted Jeffrey joke once (which come on, if you know Ina, that’s just an easy target). I don’t know what else Marie could be referring to.

I think EGR might have just moved, but so far it looks like Ubertrout, Shrayber, Moore, NVC, and Jane Marie are out at the very least.

It isn’t on Jezebel or Gawker. Other outlets like The Awl are reporting, and it just takes a swift sweep of the Jezebel staff’s twitter accounts to see who got canned. Of course everyone I love (minus Maddie) got fired, but everyone we all hate is still here. (I like Bobby, but I’m not sure he’s still here).

Nick “MY PUMPKIN HEAD IS TOO BIG FOR MY BODY” Denton is booting up for the 2016 election. He’s shifting the focus of Gawker over to politics, and for some reason that required firing half of the Jezebel staff. Good night, sweet prince of the guinea pigs Mark.

The service industry is the struggle with capitalism/labor rights at its finest, it is, by nature, political.
