“Each company has their own workplace atmosphere, and when that atmosphere is covering up sexual misconduct and the like... I resign.”

Not everyone has the privilege you do just to resign. Some people stay in shitty jobs because that’s all there is out there.

You have no idea what HR exists for, this is obvious. HR exists solely to protect the company. This is its ONLY purpose. In this case Ellen *is* the company in question. So when an employee shows up with a complaint, the simple solution is to eliminate the employee.

Savings? You mean there are people out there that aren’t living paycheck to paycheck and using bank overdrafts as short term loans to pay rent? Crazy.

Why did you write this?

oh my word, pity me! For I have TOO MUCH CASH SAVED.

Why do you think that is? 

Hey, great recommendation.

On the day the $600 unemployment coverage ends no less. 

*reads headline* BAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA *inhale*AAAAHAHAHHAHAAAHAHAAaaaaa.....

Does it really matter? I don’t understand all the people trying to make comparisons to anything else. The point here is that this thing is brutal (confirmed), spreads more easily than the flu (confirmed), and SO DAMNED EASY TO PREVENT (confirmed, over and over again.) Comparisons are just a distraction and excuse for…
