My rule: do not expect me to answer your text within half a work day. Yes. Seriously. If you want me, call me, I don’t care how much you hate phone calls. Texts are easy to miss.

I agree with you - I think involving HR, especially in LW2's position as a temp, is risky. I wouldn’t object to trying to work with HR to get some certainty around the transition to a permanent position, but anything beyond that (talking about not fitting in, saying you were under-trained, and especially talking about

I agree-ish, but I’d walk on eggshells around HR. Don’t forget that HR is there first and foremost for the company. If LW is in a temp position this could backfire and not get her in the running for a permanent position or just be let go. I think depression can be categorized as a disability (?) so it might be illegal

I might call it their problem. It’s at least a little bit of his problem if the way he’s been communicating with his girlfriend isn’t having the intended effect. It’s definitely something they share, though.

1.5 hours is absolutely an acceptable amount of time. You always know when someone you’re dating is “playing it cool” by not texting you back right away even if they see the text. If that’s the situation, run—that’s a childish thing to do. Otherwise, if you’re happily in a relationship with someone and this is their

Wait, is 1.5+ hours really not an acceptable reply time?? How on earth are you supposed to live your life in meatspace if you must constantly be on-call and tethered to your phone?

AND there will probably be leftovers for the hangover gorging the next day!

Smorgas all the way. Fight me in the comments.

So I guess Fox News must have mentioned something about Obamacare not actually being repealed in the tax bill so Trump’s super smart brain, the best brain people are saying, must think it is happening (over time.)

God, our president does not understand how capital letters work.

Soooo only “woke” people use acronyms? Seriously, wtf is this bullshit comment.

The problem with going after Chastain for this is she was probably contractually obligated to appear on the cover: in most film contracts, promotion of the film is required.

Is she supposed to be the spokesperson for every minority group on the planet now?

White women don’t notice this when they are in it because this is what our friends look like, this is what most of our world looks like. This is not an anomaly worth noting. This is why diversity is so important at every level, in every aspect of every industry; and diversity can’t stop at a handful of well-known

I am done with calling out the actresses on this shit. Call out the magazine, the conglomerate who owns the magazine, etc. This is not her fault. We’re playing games with women who want to help because they arent 100% perfect meanwhile people are getting away with rampant discrimination, assault etc.

Donald Trump ate a vegetable? I don’t believe it. Fake news

lol

“Women are often dismissed from emergency rooms only to die within hours of an undiagnosed heart attack since symptoms are often atypical.”

It’s worth mentioning, here, that the medical profession often still ignores women with serious heart issues. Estrogen is protective against a certain type of cardiovascular disease, yes, but women are more likely than men to suffer congenital heart defects (jinni has a couple).
