And I’ve never encountered a company that conducts any training whatsoever, they’re always astonished that their particular software package isn’t part of the national high school curriculum. Then when they grudgingly train you, they refuse to promote internally, so the only way to get what you’re worth is to jump…

I’m a cusp millennial (1982) who came up blue-collar & my best friend (same age) and I have this conversation all the time.

I’m sorry it’s so tough for you. If it makes a tiny bit of difference, you’re far from alone. I worked for years at a great job where I became “the indispensable one”. Six years ago, due to some reorganizing management consulting bullshit, more than half the staff, including me, was let go over about six months. I’ve…

I’ve been a model employee but twice have suffered from larger office politics/reorganizations that have nothing to do with my personal performance. I am done with being loyal to organizations. What a freakin’ waste.

I’m 31, am I wrong in thinking you’re a smidge younger? I grew up in an oil family and saw how stressed my parents were in the late 80s/early 90s when business was booming but layoffs were too.

In the last few years, I’ve had it with the bullshit narrative I grew up with: work your ass off in school to get into a top college, do well at said top college = success! I basically gave up my childhood to be the good girl and its gotten me squat. I was in school until I was 25 and have a degree from a top 10…

Listen, you don’t ask about *my* sexual proclivities and I won’t ask about *yours*

This is France

It sounds like a similar problem that we had in the US a few years ago. We had a really hot summer. The cows would drink but they wouldn’t eat, so the milk they produced didn’t have much cream. At the same time, everyone wanted ice cream because it was hot, so the price of cream and butter went through the roof.

Where’s the powdered milk coming from, though?

I imagine it being used in commercial production of sauces, desserts, etc.

Disclaimer: I’m obviously not blaming Kathy Griffin for this.

Thank god they’ve got excellent health care!

How would he have had access to a sleeping pill when he was in NK’s custody at that time. Especially if he already had botulism. Doesn’t NK have the greatest doctors of all time who would realize they shouldn’t leave unattended/give sleeping pills to patients with botulism.

“Doubtless Donald Trump will take personal credit for this on twitter or in some fucking press conference, so enjoy the few minutes before he does, where we can just think about the fact that a brutalized 23-year-old kid returned home today.”

This poor fucking kid. And before people weigh in with this: Yes he was stupid. Yes his privilege led him To believe that grabbing a poster would be a fun prank. Yes, no sane person not on a jpurnalism or humanitarian mission should go to North Korea.

Out of respect for the privacy of Mr. Warmbier and his family, we have no further comment on Mr. Warmbier.

Warmbier has likely been suffering from malnutrition in a prison camp where inmates are “literally worked to death.”

He’s a crafty old fucker, no doubt about that. Pretty sure he can recollect more than he says he can, and that he doesn’t always talk with an accent that thick, either.

Jeff Sessions is not Trump’s personal lawyer! He is the A.G. of the U.S.A. He cannot gesture to some quasi-attorney/client privilege, pass it off as “Justice Dept. custom,” AND also claim future, hypothetical executive privilege for current testimony.
