The only gift I ever got on secretary/assistant day was pancakes. I was super stoked about it.
I legit LOLed. Though to be accurate, it should probably be:
I know some c-suite types have had the door locking buttons, but AFAIK it’s always tied into a silent alarm meaning security is supposed to come running if they are ever used.
I’m reading word on Twitter that this apparently wasn’t an uncommon thing for executives there (and elsewhere). It’s for security purposes (gonna have to explain that one), although it’s not hard to see how it could and was used to prey on female employees.
My unscientific estimate says about 99.8% of all guys don’t know the difference between harassment and flirting.
So yeah guys, if you’re like, “I don’t know what I personally can do to help!”, the thing to do is to call out men, ESPECIALLY YOUR FRIENDS AND COWORKERS AND ACQUAINTANCES when they are creeps and abusers. Especially your friends and coworkers and acquaintances. Especially your friends and coworkers and acquaintances.…
The fact that some people would fight to the death to own firearms is pretty much prima facie evidence that these same people shouldn’t have unfettered access to firearms.
Certainly nothing will change id we leave it up to those in power to change it. They’ve proven time and time again they won’t change a thing, even in the face of incredible and horrific violence. Which means we either have to accept that outcome or, if we actually do want change, to go out and make that change…
Just a man who wishes the average gun-humping republican could reap a little bit of what they sow instead of some fucking kid in a church, buddy.
What the fuck are you talking about?
Well, the Second Amendment right now prevents that from happening.
One of the shitty things about our political system especially is the way entrenched special interests are able to successfully thwart the general will of the people. Most Americans think pollution is bad and generally want anti-pollution legislation. But it is extraordinarily difficult to pass anti-pollution laws…
Wow. On behalf of that girl, thank you for looking out for her.
I’ve torn ligments in both my knees and it is so painful you can’t even imagine. The worst part of it is that it lasts forever. You can get surgery and scar tissue can form but it’s never the same afterwards. I have to wear a leg brace just to get through a long day at work sometimes, and during all physical activity.…
"Like the planet"? That's humble. I'd be "Venus, like the goddess, because that's what I so obviously am" and then strutting around with putti hovering over me, rolling their eyes so damn hard, like so:
It's funny about these Irish names. They've really become quintessentially White America names, to such an extent that once I was in Germany, and admired a lady's baby. We chatted, she was a single mom, very sweet. Asked baby's name, and she said, in German, that his name was Kevin. I made sure it wasn't some German…
I don't really think (or at least I have no reason to know) that you're a racist. So: Joke.
White people DO have ethnicity (although it must be said that many, many American white people are such mongrels they cannot honestly really claim one particular one). So: Not Joke.
Who would I tell? So: Joke.
Every month is White…
There are white ethnicities...white isn't a default race. I'm guessing she means Irish.
The only problem I find is the mild to medium annoyance of misdirected conversation-being one of 4 people who lifts their head in a room when you're name is called, getting misdirected e-mails for people with your same name, or a friend/work group with two of you coming up with clever nicknames to tell you guys apart.
