Is it the artificial marble/stone materials? My understanding was that it's caused by silicates from real stone. It's not even that the work has to be dangerous. It's due to cutting corners and not providing/requ

Slacking off, as you call it, is part of working. What she did was claim to have worked on clients' files without having opened them. She didn't claim that a job had taken her six hours when it took her 5.5 plus some downtime.

*Same as a month of drinking water with a higher concentration of PFAS than allowable by the EPA. The post uses the article title verbatim, but the article title is clickbaity.

Yep. Wouldn't trade the self-confidence and lack of tolerance for BS I developed from working for a psycho for much. I just wish it hadn't taken therapy and antidepressants to get back to a place where I could be comfortable in

The story is alright. The way they drew the character, definitely not alright. And you know the lovely associations racists make between black people and spears. Could have been a cute animation about a kid biting off more than they could

There was a recent article about how some vegetarian processed foods contained the claimed micronutrients, but in a form that is not necessarily fully bio-available. We know so little about how nutrients are processed in our bodies that an

Fake cinnamon scent. Cinnamon candles, the damn pinecones coated with cinnamon. I can't stand it. When I worked at a home improvement store, I hurried through the Christmas area holding my breath to get out to where I needed to be:

Earplugs are uncomfortable and interfere with hearing your alarm go off. It's not raw sewage. It's a grill. It's occuring during normal waking hours. There's an extent to which you have to deal with the fact that you

It's a shame. I thought that my new early morning commute from a metro area to rather a small town a half hour away would offer me a chance to enjoy the stars. Nope, there's maybe a 5-minute stretch where the metro lights fade a

Oof, I was hoping you weren't talking and the black bird that did the little hop thing I remember from the cartoons. You were. I didn't remember and probably didn't understand the context of it at the time.

Because presumably the grilling is not happening at midnight and even if it is occuring at odd hours, it's not interfering with a household's ability to sleep.

Thanks for the link. That's crazy!

With the additional information, that appears to be the case. From the article, though, that wasn't clear to me at all. They left out a ton of details.

I've since read the case summary that's been linked and I've lost all my sympathy for her. The excess hours were over the course of 6 weeks or so and she also owed the company an additional $1100 on an advance to pay for her

In my imaginary scenario, it would be based on the average output of current workers during a 40-hour workweek. The existing companies that pull that crap ought to be reprimanded themselves. I worked for Gallup for a very short, very miser

Reading the details of the civil suit completely changes the tone of this story. So she also owed ~$3k on the unforgiven portion of an advance from the company for her CPA course, which would have been fully forgiven after 24 months. They

Have you seen a more detailed article on this? I feel like a lot of details are missing here. Most important to my mind is the time period this occured in. Are we talking 50 hours in 2 weeks or over the course of a year? One seems like

I interpreted it as "this is the amount of work that should be accomplished in a week" rather than a piecework system. Basically figure out what 40 hours worth of work looks like and if that's getting done, it shouldn't

Didn't realize people cooked with mustard seed oil. Does it carry the mustard flavor? I need to look into this.

Seriously? That's disappointing. They've been my go-to for years since most other (non-weather hobbiest) weather sites have become basically unusable due to ads.

Happy to see the classic American phrase, to craunch the marmoset. Makes me crave apple pie and LSD.

I already know what I know. The other person knows things I don't know. 1.5 is excessive unless they're incredibly interesting, but if someone's worth talking with, what they have to say is more valuable than what I have to

As I hit reply, I realized we're talking about different fingers, but that actually works very well amongst my coworkers. There's a nice break where every laughs their asses off and then you have the floor.

You've got maybe a more exhuberant way of saying it, but I've got a similar outlook anymore. I've always been awkward and no good at fitting in with the "popular" crowd. I take some getting used to and people who

It looks like it's all the way through. Undiagnosed bipolar without good coping mechanisms. It's hard to learn how to handle those swings when the disorder has your brain so scattered that you don't even realize something i

I mentioned it in a comment elsewhere in the discussion, but I've got one coworker who is just a terrible person, another that treats others terribly when he isn't getting his way, and used to have a third who would treat his repo

Off the top of my head, I can think of a half dozen people I've known who are just horrible all of the time. Nasty to their family, nasty to coworkers, nasty to strangers. I can think of another half dozen who are just in the habit o

Everyone doesn't have a garage. If your infrastructure has the chargers on the street, we're back to the original issue where they don't charge well in the cold.
