raping, not having sex with

I don’t know, but it really sticks in my craw. The bride and bridesmaids are in full-on gowns with heels, but the dudes can’t be arsed to wear a proper pair of shoes like grown-ups.

I fully support this law. I would also support a law that says if a man is wearing a tuxedo at his wedding, he can’t also wear Chuck Taylors. That is a weird fucking trend.

“By the end it’s hard to really engage in the narrative when you’re being assaulted with enough imagery to make you wish you had your own mirror to escape through.”

NOT SLUT SHAMING but girl may want to rethink her “I’m no high heel wearing skank” stance

Yeah, but the girl on the bleacher wearing sneakers is usually the innocent one of the bunch. She’s not some slutty high-heels wearing hussy, after all.

Ah, but why would a company hire 20 people for 20 jobs when they could squeeze 20 jobs’ worth of work out of 15 employees who are so desperate to keep their jobs that they’re afraid to say no?

Absolutely. If an employee routinely has to work more than 40 hours to get through their normal workload, that means one of two things: Either the employee is actually incompetent, or, more likely, the employer is trying to get away with paying one person to do the work of two people.

As someone who managed creatives I’ve literally sent people home for working more then their 40 a week and they were exempt at the time. My problem was that if I let people burn out or I made due with overworked people as is, it wouldn’t last long term and I’d never have the justification to hire more staff.

Christmas…

Ugh, it’s so skeezy how ad agencies ask people—especially younger employees—to work such crazy long hours. It’s advertising. It’s not saving lives. This stuff is not high stakes enough to demand that people bust their asses like that. A lot of it really just seems like something that’s done to inflate their own sense…

Oh, it’s always hurt. It’s hurt the people doing the work, instead of the people who (should) have been paying them for it.

I didn’t like it. I gave her another chance with Chasing Harry Winston and didn’t like it either. I do like the occasional hedge funder/socialite/how the other half lives/real RHONYC fairytale but I prefer Plum Sykes, Tatiana Boncompagni, Bridie Clarke, Wendy Walker, even Jill Kargman.

I run a tiny (tiny 2 people tiny) business. My boss/The Owner makes excuses constantly about how a $15 minimum wage would hurt. It hurts to work 60 + hours a week and not get the recognition we deserve. The payment we deserve. I do it for my love for the company, but it gets to a point where you either need to mark-up…

I thought the book was awful. She was super unlikable.

Andrew Wylie, who runs the agency, said he would consider paying time and a half if he asked junior staff members to work overtime, but not if they worked long hours of their own volition. “What am I supposed to do, sit at the door with a stopwatch?” he said. “I’m not going to do that.”

Can’t answer for creative jobs, but I will say that it seems like a lot of employers set expectations for employees (especially younger employees) that are so ridiculously high that their jobs cannot be completed in 40 hours, let alone 50. I assume it is the same or worse in the creative fields. For Wylie to say he…

I run a small (tiny) business, and really, this law is looooong overdue. Pay people for the work they do or for the hours they work, and stop making excuses about how this will hurt - think of the people working long, hard hours for minimal compensation. If overtime is expensive for the employer in dollars, it is even…

Yup. A friend of mine met him because her mother was the president of his oldest fan club, back in the day. He flew their whole family out to one of the Pirates sets and gave them all generous gifts, and was very kind. Another friend of mine is related to the side of Depp’s family that he apparently never talks to,…

WAY TO RUIN IT EVEN BEFORE THE EPISODE AIRS
