Some places are like that. The problem is once you overburden someone, they are more inclined to quit. Eventually, morale goes out the window and your customers suffer and more people leave. That kind of circle is hard to stop. I’ve been at places where that cycle dies along with any consistent employees. The results…

Staffing agencies usually take too big a cut from the hiring company. For that reason, I am steered away from using them. However, I don’t disapprove of them, as a good staffing agency will have high standards and use quality people.

while you should be always ready to roll up your sleeves and step up your game, you should never take a bigger load on your plate without any raise. That is a very stupid move. You may think that improves your reputation, but even your CEO will secretly disdain your weakness. Even if you would have billions in swiss…

I suggest you immediately offer to take on his responsibilities, unless you don’t think you’re capable of taking them on either in full or in part.

Old rich ladies LOVE buying jewelry. And at a certain point they don’t have to give a shit if it’s technically an engagement ring, or an anniversary ring, or someone else’s birthstone. They’re like “wrap that shit up, I’m 84 and I want it.”

If anyone should unionize, it’s your commenters. Lazy ass journalism like this sucks. You basically just barf out other people’s work, and rely on all of us to get your cash. Gross.

She seems like a cool old bird.

Don’t question the article. You’ll get banned.

Does Tony Goldwyn have an alibi?

Starred because you made me shout “NO!” at the laptop

I hate the runny whites as well so I prefer over easy eggs. But if you prefer “pretty “ eggs try low heat AND close the lid of the frying pan. It sorta steams the egg, cooking the top whites as well and u don't need to flip

Sorry but this ↑ is not a perfect looking fried egg. This ↓ is
