Scheduling meetings during the lunch hour is another dick move. I work at a startup that caters lunch once a week, and some a**hole decided to schedule a recurring meeting during the catered lunch every. single. week.
I wear sweaters with slacks and booties virtually all year long and still freeze. I can guarantee this isn’t the problem for 90% of us. We’re not morons. Men: please note that a lot of us aren’t stupid enough to wear sandals and wonder why we’re freezing.
I absolutely hate the concept of wedding favors. A couple treats every single one of their guests a nice dinner and an open bar, and then they’re supposed to give presents to the guests for coming? I don’t think so. Wedding favors should be reserved for dry weddings or weddings where somehow desserts count as a meal.
Amen! This group is the equivalent to the sparkling “sense of humor” of that one girl everyone knew in school who thought it was adorable to be utterly brainless. Every lecture was peppered with: “Wait, can you repeat that? I lost you after the first sentence. Tee-hee!” followed by some hair twirling with the fingers and/or fluffy pink pen.
Worked for a fairly large company whose executive team was comprised of mostly the same family. A couple years ago, they started having the senior management (VP of Sales, Marketing, Operations, etc.) who had been working there for 10+ years start training members of the family for their replacements. It was like receiving an expiration date for your career when you were assigned to start training one of them. Needless to say, the fresh-out-of-college family members who took over have been driving the company into the ground ever since that disgusting display of blatant nepotism.
Every generation has their bad apples. I know a girl who started a crowd funding campaign to pay for her trip to a friend’s wedding, rather than simply declining the wedding invite. Absolutely disgusting. Even after the first round of funding requests through facebook went unanswered, she went around again asking for money for this “emergency”.
“While everyone hates Jessica, she’s only one of two in the entire office who knew how to do one integral detail in our day-to-day”…… “In what I learned should have been a week-long training, she gave me eight hours.”
Doesn’t really sound like one detail. This sounds more like you severely underestimating what she does around the office because everyone’s too busy gossiping about her in the break room.

I wish! Maybe they could be if they weren’t so concerned about photographing the whole trip.

“Christ, I only had four drinks, is this what getting older is like?” – the 22 year old
This is not what getting older is like. This is what being a pansy is like. Man up.
Dude, I hit the same exact wall a couple months ago. I feel you. Thanks for posting this.
