I think Burt has it right with that "supposedly" in the title!

Exactly, I've worked for a female CEO before (non-profit) and I can't say my working life was remarkably better or worse for it.

Big companies cannot be depended on to accurately report their data. Amazon and Walmart often post HR statistics based on full-time, permanent staff only, and we all know how few staff actually fit that description and derive the benefits of that. There isn't much point trumpeting your awesome maternity leave or…

Bahahahahaha I scroll through four pages, casually perusing the entire list, and who should be the last one (in alphabetical order)? Walmart. Their appearance gives me doubts about the usefulness of this list.

I just don't buy this, because a legit zoo offered to rehome him, so there was spot for him and a way he could be used to benefit conservation. It just strikes me as a terrible waste.

There is actually more to zoos than the genetic "ark" - many of the animals are merely advocates for their species in the wild, or their native habitats. People are attracted to zoos because of these animals, and hopefully while there they learn something that helps them to understand and want to protect the natural…

I don't, may I please have permission to be outraged?

I have this book too - and I can see your point. But when organizations like PETA won't surrender their animals to another shelter for similar reasons, and instead elect for euthanasia, there is an outcry that an animal rights organization would do such a thing. A zoo does the same and suddenly it's in the animals…

I would have thought this was a decision for the EAZA as a whole to make a final call on. This animal should never have been bred without consultation from other zoos in the region, but clearly Copenhagen Zoo are a law unto themselves.

I've also worked in the industry and I think that's why this story outraged me so much. We use animal contraceptives in my part of the world too and always work in conjunction with other regional zoos so that animals aren't born with no forever homes to go to. Why was this surplus animal allowed to be bred in the…

My animals are kind of the opposite. My cat seems to hate other cats but LOVES my dogs. I was so worried about introducing my second dog to her, and all for nothing. She walked straight up to him and gave him a huuuuuge smooch on the face.

I love how they say "believed to be the biggest" as if someone might be secretly harboring a LARGER dog somewhere that despite it's size, has somehow escaped notice.

Yeah I didn't know that because I used a handy thing called the university webpage to work out what classes I needed to take for which major.

So there was nothing in the nature of "should I major in biology or chemistry?"?

Do you really reckon though, that someone freshly minted with a degree, but no idea what to do with it, is the best person to advise graduates about what they should and shouldn't be studying and how to start their careers? I'm not saying that the OP wouldn't be good at it, but it just seems to keep the academic…

Yes I tried to tell my friend it is a very fine line between "shhh, it'll all be ok" and "shhhh no one wants to hear you complain"!

I kind of do the opposite thing - I have friends who must be like you, because when I come to them with a problem or want to complain about something, they always insist on "cheering me up", like making jokes about the situation or changing the subject. When I'm shitty I don't want to be cheered up, I want to rant and…

I'm surprised how many stories feature current SOs who were young lovers from high school age, given the collective wobbly thrown about Ginny/Harry and Ron/Hermione staying together with a person they met in high school being "unrealistic". We like to think of ourselves as cosmopolitan and worldly, but many of us…

I "fixed" mine by somehow managing to make it more boring. You're still limited to posts which were really popular with other people.

I love everything in leopard print. I feel like it is a bit of a punk rock lite aesthetic. So maybe a little trashy, but just the right amount.
