Ha, same with me! Letting my natural deathly pallor show is guaranteed to make someone ask, ‘omg, are you feeling okay? you’re so pale! sit down!’

This is the best one. Bonus points if you publicly eat a very minimal lunch the next day. I’ve also been known to skip the under eye concealer after faking sick: finally those dark circles come in handy.

The combination of this comment with your user name is hitting me right in the funny bone.

I would really like an article that’s actually about oversharing! Also, boss/worker friendships. Oddly enough, at my last job I was constantly accused of ‘undersharing’. My boss literally told me that I should be talking to my subordinates about my painful breakup so they could get to know me better.

Honestly, while I feel a little bad for the pile-on the author is experiencing, I feel so much better that everyone was having such an issue trying to read this article. I really thought my brain/reading comprehension was on the decline.

“There are so many people in Silicon Valley right now who are motivated to be entrepreneurs, be important, be interesting, do something new and cool. But they bring that intention without a passion or deep understanding of the underlying product/service/idea. And that’s a really bad combo.”

In theory I don’t have any problem with them moving manufacturing to a cheaper part of the country*. I’m honestly a little baffled when companies insist on staying in pricey locations when they don’t need to. I recently interviewed for an online retailer that is headquartered in SF. They are paying high rent for prime…

This post made me realize that ‘railing’ might be my least favorite euphemism for sex.

Yep. I was fine with the wife dying, (a whole ‘better to have loved and lost’ lesson would be fitting for the show), but going back to Robin was ridiculous and made the whole premise of Ted talking to his kids really skeevy. And what happened to Barney? Are they not friends anymore? Does he not care that Ted wants to…

I’m no expert, but I think script approval would be a pretty normal occurence.

Didn’t we all learn in grade school that only you can make fun of your mamma?

Yeah, I found the headline to be misleading. It still makes me raise an eyebrow towards her, though, as I feel like her people would have been aware of the script ahead of time and should have called it out, even if she wasn’t the ones saying the words.

“employees can’t say- oh but you featured an ad with a women wearing a shirt as a dress showing her butt- same would go for hair”

Yeah, I saw how they look from the back. I’d still consider it a pretty ‘on-brand’ look.

Why are you telling me this?

If you’re so aware of the variety of acceptance and prejudice in your city, then why are you trying to deny that racial prejudice likely played a role? Why are you “more inclined to think to think poor management is at play, motivated by either incompetence, personal malevolence, or straight jealousy” when this sort…

You are quite literally discounting racism when you say “That really shouldn’t be an issue in Toronto malls.” And I think the whole ‘but Toronto is progressive and multicultural’ argument is naive: there are still plenty of racist people (and generally ‘not racist’ people who still hold unconscious biases) in even the…

“didn’t allow tank tops because it became easier to just ban them rather than start getting into spaghetti strap and undershirt debates.”

Any manager who would have a conversation like this is someone who isn’t very bright and who doesn’t hold very much power, so they cling to all the rules and technicalities (and sometimes made up shit) to lord over their employees (in lieu of real management) and make themselves feel bigger. Any decent manager…

Many retail stores have very clear dress code rules about piercings (especially facial piercings). Some go as far as to list the acceptable locations, number, style, and size of the piercings. I would be shocked if Zara didn’t have a specific rule about this, so I’m guessing hers is acceptable? Or it would be really…
