Soooooo... this is his way of turning down the VP slot w/o saying it out loud?

Umm, he grabbed the African-American woman's arm because she was part of a group of fellow young African-American women slapping a significantly older woman. Not sure how that qualifies as "explaining her values to her."

Hell, I don't even have kids and I would buy their anti-Trump alphabet book.

Really? I was told that I couldn’t have the day off for my wedding. I couldn’t have MY WEDDING DAY off work, because I “should have thought about the weekend rotation” before I set the date.

some people think that being a foster child would count against her character. A lot of people, consciously or sub-consciously, think that bad things only happen to bad people, so she’s not to be celebrated for overcoming, but to always be judged.

It depends on a person’s level of empathy though... when I read that letter, it sounds to me like those dickensian qualities are being used by the original writer as negatives, not positives. If seen in that light (which, ugh) it all becomes more believable. Consider that the manager in question may have kept this…

But its ok to wear it as a swimsuit.

As I said to someone else, I can see a manager refusing to give time off for graduation. I just have a hard time buying the fact that that manager knows that the employee is an orphan who’s had the most dickensian childhood possible and is completely oblivious (given everything else that the manager reports goes on at…

I agree a lot of it doesn’t make sense. If she worked there for 6 years, it seems incredibly unlikely that she’d have the lowest seniority. And even if she was the most recent hire, if she is literally the best employee there, then she’d have some sort of status above seniority right?

I’ve had some shitty managers over the years, including one who told a man who took the day off to take care of his sick daughter that he was selfish for letting down the (work) team, but this still sounds fake to me. The employee couldn’t possibly be more sympathetic, and the manager couldn’t be more comically evil…

Sure! I’m in the same boat and high-necked, buttoned up things are never flattering.

Looks like a modified ‘Nehru’ lapel to me- it’s not meant to be folded down.

It’s a thing. You don't need to iron them down. :o)

It’s totally common now in women’s jackets. Leave the lapels as they are.

I love Samantha Bee and her show. She is on point and angry. I like that about her.

I remember you, man! I was the towering beauty who wore cargo pants and carried the helpless little native childen to safety!

In tribute to Ms. Linton, I am also announcing my new memoir, recounting the time I sailed up the Congo River to search for a mysterious ivory trader named Kurtz.

What the holy hell is this fuckery?

I was going to say, this is just Cuckoo but he invested in tech BEFORE dropping acid in Ibiza.
