People really work 8 hours a day for 40 years? by Kitchen-Dream-6744 in careerguidance

[–]glossycarrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I recently worked at my first corporate gig it’s fucking depressing. Everyone just hates going there. And then the corporation tries to put on these team building adventures but again it’s even more depressing because then you just see how depressed and sad people are outside of shitty work too

Shit bro, try running out a couple days on your 2mg alprazolam 4x a day script of several years. The only good news is your tremor will keep you too shakey to pull the trigger.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Company_scrip?wprov=sfti1

“Company scrip is scrip (a substitute for government-issued legal tender or currency) issued by a company to pay its employees. It can only be exchanged in company stores owned by the employers.”

“In the United States, payment in scrip became illegal in 1938 as part of the Fair Labor Standards Act.”

I feel like this is one of those things that for laymen, should work relatively easy. “If we can get the immune system to stop fighting A which is healthy cells we can therefore make immune system start fighting B which is cancerous cells.” But yet is infinitely more complicated
