No exaggeration whatsoever, in 2008 when I very first moved from Florida (Hurricane? big deal) to downtown Houston, hurricane Ike arrived about a month later. I lost power for 15 days. 15!! People forget that you still have to try to show

What absolutely weird replies. You clearly are the victim of the world, sir. Nobody has worse problems than you! None of this was a competition, super strange to make it so and not just recognize not everyone can quit their job today, nod y

I was homeless at 17 in high school before going into the Marines in 2002. I know what having negative money is like, health problems or not. That doesn't change the fact that it comes from absolute privilege to tell someone that they

You had the privilege of being able to quit the job over ethics / concerns. I'm assuming you didn't wind up homeless with starving children. I have definitely not always had that in my career and many people don't.

The amount of on-site only job listings now in 2024 is insane. I cannot believe you people will work for these companies and managers that require on-site and not fight back. We're losing our power. I hope nobody applies to these jobs.
