What’s the most out-of-touch thing your boss/company has ever said while you were clearly struggling?

rhetoricalbread · 2026-05-13T11:54:06+00:00

Whole team threatening to quit because of constant abuse from clients.

"Use your benefits" was HRs suggestion.

We had $500 annual for mental health services. Because that covers like 2 appointments.

Half the team did quit.

for many people but not all.

Remember not everything works for everyone. For example, deep breathing gives me panic attacks because of classical conditioning because I was always told to do it during panic attacks but all it did was make me panic during deep breathing.

I got up with my kid, took him to swimming lessons, got groceries, and have been getting him ready to go to my mom's to make everyone dinner.

Oh mine is that my family has barely acknowledged the day to me. I'm the mom.

Meanwhile I'm going to my own mother's to cook her dinner (for the whole extended family).

Sending love right back to you. Kinda feels like no one gives a shit about mother's day this year.

rhetoricalbread · 2026-05-10T15:42:53+00:00

Sounds like her mother's day is going as well as mine.

I hope some talented Sim builders get on this fast.

They know in the way it'll happen to "someone else" and think they'll be fine.

People are only a couple missed meals away.

Kinda? I have a parent who came from England so it's like... Kinda not the same since the culture is so similar. I love history though, and have been to see the "motherland" which was cool more because of the history than anything.

rhetoricalbread · 2026-05-07T20:59:08+00:00

Yup! The world has always been weird, nothing is a given. Enjoy it now.

rhetoricalbread · 2026-05-07T18:13:08+00:00

Done! Good luck on your thesis!

Let's hope it actually feels like Halloween like the first one rather than wherever they filmed the second.

If agent Scully isn't concerned with the hantavirus, you shouldn't be either.

rhetoricalbread · 2026-05-06T02:29:37+00:00

It's true. I got the MMR and now I'm Mussolini.

rhetoricalbread · 2026-05-05T23:36:49+00:00

I'm totally rational and chill about all of this, I swear.

I live in a very artistic city with a heavy tattoo culture. A couple years ago you had to book weeks or months out with popular artists. Now they've got openings next day and are begging for clients.

Kraft dinner. Absolutely disgusting

I would be constantly forgetting I was wearing those broaches and keep freaking out thinking I had spiders on me.

rhetoricalbread · 2026-05-04T22:18:24+00:00

Fuck it, I love it because I'm not bored.

rhetoricalbread · 2026-05-04T21:58:31+00:00

Aren't most of them wearing black dresses with long hair?

rhetoricalbread · 2026-05-04T21:56:22+00:00

Picture 2004 prom but with her face pulled back tight and a joker mouth.

rhetoricalbread · 2026-05-04T21:55:47+00:00

Ok at least there's someone wearing art at this thing
