Nah, they don’t. At least... not for the actress’ or character’s personality, or to support women in film, or anything. It’s not about wanting to see the movie, it’s about spitefully denying women the chance to have things just to themselves, things which don’t centre men and their Very Important Penises as that which…

Men sure are emotional and irrational lately. I think we need to stop letting them make statements, run things, and read the news until we can get a handle on what’s happening.

I agree with this 100%. Me and my grandparents that lived through the depression seem to have a lot in common. Especially when it comes to views on money, banks, buying every day items, etc.

My coworker, who is constantly “trying to demonstrate her value,” will never say no to anyone. Even outside our office! She also has a compulsion to work every night and all weekend. She doesn’t know what else to do with herself.

That’s bullshit. Gen Xers were the first generation to have less, & do worse than the previous generation (the Boomers tore thru the economy like a swarm of locusts). We worked harder for less, because of all the recessions there were fewer jobs that we had to fight for.

Legit question though while working harder, skipping lunches, and skipping vacations won’t get women promoated or get them raises will taking vacations and lunches COST them those things? I work for an old male employer and he continuously assumes all the best work was done by the men and that I slack even though I…

Disregard anything a boomer tells you. They are wrong.

Absolutely agree-I’m one of the only women at my job and I refuse to clean anything. Literally anything while I’m there-dirty mug? take it home! throw it away! who cares! Too much of a slippery slope to becoming mom/the one who puts everything away. Because of this one of my male coworkers vacuums while I check my…

The thing is, millenials aren’t actually entitled. Even the ones who are smack dab in it (I was born in 1990). The reason we’re called entitled is because we want to have challenging and rewarding work and we want to make more than minimum wage. It’s just a fallacy.

“I eat lunch at my desk because I only get a half hour break and need that window to run errands or buy lunch.”

I’m 34 and I frequently feel that several jobs make it difficult to take vacation because a lot of companies are understaffed. When I had an office job, there was so much work to get done that it frequently felt impossible to get enough done to not be completely behind and overwhelmed when I returned back.

Wow, that is my mom in a nutshell. I think that’s what makes them feel like they can roll back government programs and worker’s rights laws . They really think people who make choices they don’t agree with don’t ‘deserve’ to do well or be happy.

It is possibly because I have been laid off before and successfully won a dispute against an employer that I am now so careful to think about myself first in employment. I know that the company will cheerfully screw me if it works out better for them.

I totally get it - we hear a TON about how young people need to do the time, do the hard work, not be lazy, etc, and getting a job as a young person right now is hard. It’s funny how the conversation about millennials being supposedly lazy is producing the opposite, to their detriment.

I did that for years. Big mistake. All the more reason to take that lunch. Believe me on this... when you sacrifice on a regular basis, it becomes an uncompensated expectation that you continue to do so, while the bro’s drink a liquid lunch with the bosses and get promoted over you.

And you’d be wrong. I work 40 hours at one and ten to 20 at the other. I’m guessing you’re a young Republican.

I hate that I do this, but sometimes my project just will not get done in time if I don’t do this. It’s for myself more than any brownie points—I need that extra hour a day or my projects are screwed and I hate being rushed at the last minute because all those lunch hours added up to 5 less hours a week to finish…

And while you’re at it Millennial women, stop eating lunch at your desk and use your lunch hour! Nobody notices that you don’t take yours because they’re all out to lunch. You will NOT get brownie points or promoted for working your ass off through lunch. Trust me, I learned the hard way.

Why don’t you take some days off? Seems like an easy solution.

omg take your vacations people. i just used up all of mine. fuck that, i earned that shit.
