I work at music festivals doing impact reduction (aka cleaning up trash among other things) and this doesn’t surprise me at all. People haul all their crap out, set it up, rage for the weekend and are too fucked up by monday morning to pack anything.

That’s not all I’m airing, on an hourly basis

They won’t. And you know what? They will leave school to become members of political parties who complain about having to pay the salaries (through taxes) of those who have to clean up after them all their lives.

As someone who has worked on trail crews: This truly is an INSANE amount of stuff that got left behind. It’s to the point where it looks like all of these frat bros got scared by a bear and high-tailed it out of there, leaving their stuff (including their tents and alcohol! That’s really unusual!!) behind.

Oh, it’s completely a reflection of your core values, guys. You value being spoiled little shits who leave behind mountains of food and shelter that many human beings would love to have, in a giant mess that despoils the entire lake, for others to clean up. That’s what you value, not having to care about anything.

lol yeah. i am one of a handful of white teachers at a school that is 75% black and 25% hispanic. the kids get a kick out of making fun of me, but i don’t really mind.

the best-dressed white teacher

Woah woah woah, is this all at the same company? You wore Banana Republic and Theory and were blocked from a promotion because those clothes were too sexy? Pants suits are too sexy?

When i learned about this I was still waiting on my last paycheck and drove home blasting Bitch Better Have My Money over and over and over in the car, crying in raaaaaage

This is where you do all that plus find a good lawyer for the civil suit that will bankrupt that asshole. And the company. Which I would like to avoid because one guy’s Sad Trombone Boner apparently rules all the fucking policy/promotion decisions so if you happen to mention its name we’re good.

What utter bullshit. I am so sorry that happened to you. Vent all you want.

Mr. Bells is a game programmer, and I am pretty sure he went to work today without brushing his hair. He did wear a polo shirt, though, so they might think he’s looking for a new job.

It’s also totally where in the country/world you work. I work in SF so the initially described outfit is something I see on the Dev/QA guys ALL THE TIME. However our counterparts in Wisconsin get excited about jeans day. And don’t get me started on the coveting of our snack and catered lunch program.

Is there where I get to complain about how *after* I quit my job at Bank of America, I found out I was blocked from a promotion because, despite my boss, his boss, and several peers recommending me enthusiastically, the boss above them had an uncomfortable boner for me and said my attire was inappropriate?

OH MY GOD SAME!! I call it being “accidentally cute”

THIS. I have never been what anyone would call well-dressed, but I either wear nice jeans & a nice top, or a dress, because skirts that squeeze your belly all day are for the birds (and who has time to match TWO THINGS). I buy my winter tights a size too big, and throw an over-sized sweater over a dress. It’s…

I’m a print journalist aka jeans, t-shirt and if you’re lucky, I washed my hair. It’s hilarious when I got to press conferences and the TV reporters are all hot and sexy and then I show up and they’re like, who invited the homeless woman?

i’m a teacher, so dress code can be kind of confusing. the expectation is “business/business casual”, but people definitely interpret that to their liking. my typical work clothes are skinny cut khakis, black skinny jeans that i pretend are slacks, literally any shirt in my closet that isn’t a tank/crop or low-cut (i…

I wear dresses, leggings, and flats because they are easier to put on. A couple of months ago my coworker asked if I constantly wore dresses as a “religious thing” which I found odd because the dresses I wear aren’t very conservative. Her eyebrows reached a new level when I explained that I do it because it is…

I think what constitutes “professional” is highly dependent upon the industry you’re in. Lawyers, bankers, finance folks, much traditional “business” workplaces — those are suits or half-suits (aka: suit pants/skirts and blouses for women, or suits pants and shirts but no jackets for men) or go home, period. For most…
