Does it rhyme with schmelloite?

At my old job, we were frequently told that you could only get a merit raise between 2-3%, 3 if you were great, 2 if you were just adequate. They told us it was a “policy,” although that was never written down anywhere for us to see.

One of our VPs was chummy with a junior guy on our team and reveals that the myth is…

Guidelines to get into a frat are relatively slim. Many don’t require that you actually went to the school where the frat is located, so if a frat is at U.C. Berkeley, people at Berkeley Community College or San Francisco Technical School could still go. There is also really no criminal background process or procedure…

I love Red Rocks

That dispute only states that he didn’t participate in inappropriate online communications with someone he KNEW was underage. So either the girl said she was older than she was, he genuinely didn’t know she was underage, or he might have had an inkling but didn’t bother to verify and is now feigning ignorance.

The fact…

Jezebel is a news site, one with certain leanings sure, but a news site nonetheless. If Meghan and her bitter battle with her dad are newsworthy, they have every moral and ethical thumbs up to publish it. It’s also a little different situation than the Daily Mail as Jezebel isn’t just paying Mr. Markle $1,000 for her…

because now we’re all talking about booking.com and because websites and blogs are writing about booking.com. The value they’re getting publicity wise is far more than whatever they spent on the giving Lea a free bachelorette party

Well hey now, I think three points is still pretty impressive

Sadly, unless there’s a criminal conviction or anything, he’s gonna stick around. Bohemian Rhapsody is approaching the near billion mark worldwide. It might even cross a billion right before or after the Oscars, and then god knows how much in streaming/DVD stuff.

Now it’s still only 73 (as if that’s unimpressive) on…

This is clearly a parody of something but I don’t know exactly what. This paragraph in particular shows its an Onion-style parody of the overindulgent culture writing where critics/journalists are now not just critiquing an actor’s performance but their actual career choices.

nice

One of the main logistics or operational guys, like one in New York and not the bahamas, wouldn’t get paid until the day of the festival when it all came together. So even though they were highly skeptical, it was like they were dangling his paycheck above his head. 

One thing he says in the Hulu doc is that any problem they encountered before the festival he was able to find a way to fix it. Albeit it was a mischievous, probably illegal way, but he ended up finding that way.

Perhaps they’re looking to sell the channel, or have already sold it, and if more people view while it’s still under current ownership of Otter, Otter could still be profiting from views and ad revenue. So they have to make everything go dark until they switch over all those accounts and logins and baking info to…

Isn’t it inaccurate to say tweeted? Like, if say there was a tweet from George Clooney that said “I’m running for president,” we can’t officially say that George Clooney, the actual man person, tweeted it, we only know that it came from his twitter account/was tweeted from his Twitter account, since there are some PR…

Aimee I like that you write for Lifehacker now in addition to Jezebel, I’m glad you’re exploring new things :)

Won’t be James Corden, ABC would be too wary about giving that big of a platform to a Kimmel competitor (they aren’t on at the same time, but essentially are still competing for the same audience). I think he is the most sensible choice, though.

Jimmy Kimmel’s salary seems more the result of him already working for…

Yeah, but at the same time, all the other methods of evaluating candidates aren’t that great. If you got two candidates for a reporter position at Jezebel who have graduated from a prestigious college, worked for a while at some digital news site, each have different voices in writing but are arguably equally as…

I saw them open for Kiss. Sure, they were technically “co-headliners,” but everyone there was there to see Kiss, and everyone knew that we had to get through Motley Crue before that happened.
