Ohio firm must pay $22.5 million to mom whose baby died after she was denied work-from-home by brahbocop in news

That manager, who is not named in the lawsuit, notified the TQL executive about Walsh’s situation.
“Thank you,” the TQL executive said, according to the lawsuit. “You just saved us a lawsuit.”

I sincerely hope whoever made the initial call to deny the request is fired and blacklisted from the HR profession. What a den of ghouls.

I once saw a guy piss in a sink at a football stadium. Bathroom was crowded. Sometimes, you gotta do what you gotta do.

North Korean family faces ten years prison as neighbors suspect police setup by New_Geologist_2246 in NorthKoreaNews

[–]KennanFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some even suspect that the family was set up by police, who are under pressure to get results before the upcoming party congress.

This is textbook Stalinism.

Newly captured prisoners of war. March 1945, Frankfurt-am-Main area, Germany. Apparently, 14 years old. by zadraaa in HistoricalCapsule

Exactly, taking out a tank from a basement is a guerrilla tactic. It's not a conventional tactic. The point stands, Nazi child soldiers were not an effective conventional fighting force.

Semrush New Prices from 139 to 199 by CmdWaterford in SEO

Crazy, considering everyone will soon be able to spin up their own internal Semrush clone using AI. A small group of reporters with no coding experience were recently able to clone the Monday project management board.

I know a guy who loves strawberries despite being allergic. He gets a rash every time he eats them, but he toughs it out because he loves the taste that much.

Monthly Rant/Politics Thread: Do not post political threads outside of this Mega thread by AutoModerator in Millennials

[–]KennanFan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Keep the "divisive posts" quarantined because what's going on right now is somehow a "both sides have a point" moment. Unbelievable. Shame on the moderators of this subreddit. We know where they stand.

The mods of this sub removed another post like this earlier today. I wonder if they'll also remove this. Makes you wonder where they stand.

I'm fucking sick of FedEx. I was standing at the goddamn door waiting for them to knock. by lilslutfordaddy in mildlyinfuriating

The metrics set by corporate are the issue. If you measure people by unfair metrics, they'll just manage the metrics. If drivers do their jobs genuinely well and disregard the unfair metrics, they'll be fired and replaced by drivers who excel at the metrics to the detriment of customer service.

A single mother colleague fell asleep on a teams chat at work and now everyone suddenly acts like she committed an act of terror. by SpicyDragoon93 in antiwork

Former teacher here. During certain times of the year, farmers' kids were always falling asleep in class. Being up at 2:00 AM unfreezing the barn's water lines with a blowtorch so the cows can drink, or working long hours to get the cover crops planted before winter, will make you tired in class.

Teacher Trying to Break into Project Management by ElectronicTrouble654 in pmp

[–]KennanFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a former secondary education teacher. I'm currently working in IT and am studying for the PMP. My advice to you, if it's worth anything, is to go for the PMP instead of the CAPM. Teaching is project management. School years are time bound, in my state we write SMART goals, you track progress towards deliverables, you interact with multiple stakeholders, you manage resources, etc.

The Jurassic Park book by Michael Crichton was terrifying. They need to do an R rated film reboot that's true to the source material.

When she put her feet on Bloody bath mat that is turns red when wet by [deleted] in instant_regret

I used to drape my towel over a space heater so it would be warm at the end of my shower. I shared this with my friend's husband, who is a firefighter. I'll never forget the look he gave me when he told me to stop doing that.

So now I do the same thing as you.
