As a fellow Menopausal American, I’m pretty sure estrogen is not a big factor in Hillary’s day-to-day decision making.

Gap would do that to me (ontop of on-calls) during the holiday season when they were overstaffed because of bad staffing. I would drive 25 minutes in a snowstorm, get to work, and then go home 1.5 hours later. Fuck that shit.

My husband once had to sign a non-compete contract for a minimum-wage part time job. He was not legally allowed to take on another job without written permission from his supervisor. There was no reason for this, they were just assholes. At one point they decided he would be alternating mornings, evenings, and

The American Eagle I worked for in high school utilized this nonsense and it was terrible. That, coupled with other BS, made AE one of the absolute worst jobs I have ever had and I say that as a woman who has spent most of her adult life working in various factories.

The last retail job I worked, I had a 4 hour “trial” shift that they didn’t pay me for bc they hadn’t technically hired me yet. Then when I did get officially hired, I asked them when I was going to have orientation and my manager said. “Well you basically had it during the trial so you don’t need it”. That’s how they

I got called in once when I was working at a restaurant about 15 minutes from my house. I begged and pleaded to be allowed to stay home due to the pretty nasty snow storm settling in, and it took me 45 minutes to get to work. When I got there, my car couldn’t make it up the driveway into the shopping center, so I had

Hey, former Gap employee as well! I hated on-call shifts, but at least when I worked with the company you could just call a few hours ahead and they’d let you know whether or not you were needed. I cannot imagine constantly showing up and being sent home, gah.

The greatest day of my retail career was when Gap, Inc. stopped doing those bullshit oncall shifts. Either schedule me to work, and suck it up and pay me(there was always a denim wall to be resized at Old Navy, which can be quite meditative) or don’t schedule me at all. I really feel for current retail workers who put

Plus, isn’t Vermont basically The Shire with maple trees?

Rosie, who told her, ‘If you have something to say, say it to my face!’

When I read the headline, I thought Karl was meaning to compliment him. Heh. Doubly funny that he was trying to be insulting.

What does that make you Karl?

AND ALSO

Yeah, I was about to say. Dude might wanna step back with calling out other people when he’s already been thoroughly pegged by Ham Rove (and Ham Rove will never get old, or less accurate):

Yeah I mean he’s not wrong. But he’s wrong about it being an insult.

first of all

Well I actually do have mental health issues, which shockingly have never been successfully treated by anyone telling me to “get a grip”, “pull (myself) together” or similar, and obviously that amplifies the anxieties of such a situation for me. But even if my reaction to those uncertainties is stronger than that of

I just can’t imagine the fucking balls you would need to lie about something like this. Sometimes I worry that my “dates of employment” on my resume will be off a month, and I’ll get called out on it. I clearly do not have the temperament to commit major fraud.

You, my good sir, have stabbed the article with a shining Excalibur.
