She also created red carpet culture as we know it, which is a huge deal. It used to be so formal and boring. She brought in humor. "Who are you wearing?" She was the very first person to ask that question on a red carpet, and she made fashion take the spotlight as well. Sometimes it's the only fun part of the show,…

I found that snub so indicative of how Hollywood has treated Joan Rivers over the years. They laugh at her jokes, clap along to her witty jabs at celebrities and then ignore her when it comes time to honor "their own." Fuck the Academy. Joan is too good for them.

And yet you know when Roman Polanski, Woody Allen, and Bill Cosby die, those fuckers will not only be included in the In Memoriam segment but will have goddamn laser shows accompanied by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir...

Having once been an extremely dumb teenage girl, I feel terrible for these three kids. This is not a game.

I really, really hope Linda Colt charged that dumb customer for an Irish coffee and not just a regular one.

Please let them at least have kept the mothers and children together. Separating them is the only thing that would make this travesty more shameful.

"Young men" as in males under the age of 18, aka "children"? Because they are included in this exact topic. Right in the title.

As for men, here's something to think about:

That is like 75% of the problems in my office right now. When our boss retires in the next 6-18 months we are convinced 1/2 our staff is getting fired.

This is so important. I loved my job! So much so that I decided to forgo graduate school, in part, because I so enjoyed this job. And then my (awesome) boss left, and my new boss was straight from small-minded, condescending, not-very-smart hell. And I gained 30 pounds, was angry all the time, and was crying once…

When I worked in a very small studio, I had a certain amount of input on the hiring of new assistants. It's a close-knit artistic community and I've run into 70% of it socially at one time or another, so the boss deferred judgement to me since he's in his 50s and rubbed elbows with no one. Because I was the one who…

Yeah, that's probably right. It's amazing to me, though, the lengths HR will go to to hire only the purplest of unicorn-squirrels.

I work in an industry that I ended up in by accident, but I find my job fine. It's not my dream job (because that would be working for SHIELD, so...it doesn't exist) but it's not a bad gig. A couple of months after I started, though, a woman I didn't recognize asked me how it was going, and I said, "You know, I…

I agree with literally everything in this article but questioning teacher passion. Given how they are treated, I think you damn sure need SOMETHING to survive. Source: I am a teacher.

I've been working a long time now in some kind of 9 to 5 fashion, and frankly I doubt I'll ever find a job I truly "enjoy." I tolerate my jobs because they give me money so I can support my family and have my hobbies. Other than that, a paycheck is a paycheck. I find it obnoxious how we're supposed to chase the dragon…

The problem is that one of the main reason employees despise their companies is because of how they are treated by them. When employers have shit conditions and a "you're lucky to have a job" attitude the employee are more likely to hate working there.

THIS. I went to a really good college and when I graduated I realized I don't want to spend my life working. If I could, I would be a housewife, no questions asked. My mother worked full time as a single parent and the single thing I want to give my children (that don't exist just yet) is my time. I love my mother,…

When I was a barista, my ability to mainline as much free coffee as I liked was the only aspect of the job I felt enthusiastic about. And it probably made me a much perkier* employee.

The biggest hypocrisy in modern business. Like an abusive spouse, they want us to love our jobs, but make loving them as difficult as possible.

this is just the worst possible thing for me to read right now. I fucking hate my job and i'm caught in this spiraling bullshit tornado of anxiety: I hate my job, so my agoraphobia is exacerbated, so I miss work, so my employers are even bigger dicks, so I am even more anxious and miss even more work.
