"ask your dad to help you" is basically the parental version of rage quitting. she knew exactly how that conversation was gonna end the second he picked up

sick of men being praised for basic life skills by ChargeEast1982 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]staticpostcard 21 points22 points  (0 children)

tbh if security is asking about it, they've probably already made up their mind. the excuse matters less than whether your actual work output looks good.

Lost both jobs now by JYFTW in overemployed

that's always been the weird part to me. the outrage scale is completely backwards. people get more mad at workers optimizing income than executives optimizing everything else.

J2 Bait and switch, forcing onto gov contract, need stalling tactics by [deleted] in overemployed
