“The Kid”: probably the Antichrist or Satan or both here to bring hell and destruction to all of earth and it’s inhabitants
My tragic ass:
I work in a hotel and my friend also happens to work in the same hotel with me. We both work front desk but on the side but I also do waitressing for the kitchen for breakfast 2x a week. I was having dinner after work with my friend/coworker and I was discussing how I’m confused how I’m getting paid more on my paychecks when I’m getting less hours but she reminded my tips are getting added in too (so my pay of 11.50xhoursxtips). She calculated for me on her phone and it did add up but then she realized she’s getting paid less (only $11.25 hourly). Over the next few days we discussed and she felt that she should at least also get paid $11.50 hourly because they want her to work as front desk executive management and we’re having a lot of changes to the hotel and staff. Front desk has been getting more and more responsiblity that usually upper management wouldn’t let us do without their approval, she feels she should be compensated for that because she works full time (I don’t) even if it is .25 cents. And I agreed, they are constantly pushing her to the brink of what she can handle and when other coworkers demand a pay raise or else they would quit (and they have). She texted our manager about maybe getting some answers. Our manager told her that I was paid differently because we negotiated my pay rate at my interview (slightly untrue) and that talking to other employees about their pay rates is against code of conduct in the employee handbook (it’s not, I looked and also it’s against the law for there to even be a policy about that). Now, my manager wants to speak to us separately and my coworker has heard for our operations manager that she is planning to write us up/reprimanding us for talking about our wages.
So, I’m just asking in this situation what would you do? My coworker says she’s going to quit if she gets a write up but I think it would be best to talk to our corporate management company (HR).
When your racist old boss thinks you owe her an explanation about why you quit
Like.... you’re rlly gonna pretend you don’t remember what came out your mouth when you’re talking shit about your hardworking, immigrant housekeepers and POC staff members and how you want to fire them even though they go above and beyond their duties. Ok, sis.

my only baby, my best boy. rciel, smh at you bitch
hey so uhhh here’s an important update on what’s apparently happening at the border, especially with the use of the old japanese internment camps
all i can say is i’m sickened by this mess, by the atrocities committed against innocent people. and now there will be no surveillance. no one will be able to see what happens to these people. the UN, the media, and any other human rights organizations cannot get into these facilities, either, in order to stop what’s happening. by the way, coast guard members were apparently aiding in this process as well. so now it’s only a matter of time before it becomes a military movement.
no one gets in. no one gets out.
so when are we going to call this what it is? it’s fascism. it’s genocide. and if we don’t stop it now, it’s going to be disastrous.
contact your senators, your representatives, anyone that’s in office that can get off their lazy ass and do something.
…WE HAVE BEEN INTO HOUSES WHERE THE CHILDREN HAD MANY TOYS AND BROUGHT THEM EVEN MORE TOYS, AND IN HOUSES LIKE THIS THE CHILDREN GET PRACTICALLY NOTHING.
“Huh, we’d have given anything to get practically nothing when I was a lad,” said Albert.
BE HAPPY WITH WHAT YOU’VE GOT, IS THAT IT?
“That’s about the size of it, master. A good god line, that. Don’t give ‘em too much and tell ‘em to be happy with it. Jam tomorrow, see?”
THIS IS WRONG, Death hesitated. I MEAN…IT’S RIGHT TO BE HAPPY WITH WHAT YOU’VE GOT. BUT YOU’VE GOT TO HAVE SOMETHING TO BE HAPPY ABOUT HAVING. THERE’S NO POINT BEING HAPPY ABOUT HAVING NOTHING.
Albert felt a bit out of his depth with this new tide of philosophy. “Dunno,” he said. “I suppose people’d say they’ve got the moon and the stars and suchlike.”
I’M SURE THEY WOULDN’T BE ABLE TO PRODUCE THE PAPERWORK.
“All I know is, if Dad’d caught us with a big bag of pricey toys we’d have just got a ding round the ear hole for nicking ‘em.”
IT IS…UNFAIR.
“That’s life, master.”
BUT I’M NOT.
“I meant, this is how it’s supposed to go, master,” said Albert.
NO. YOU MEAN THIS IS HOW IT GOES. […] IT IS HOGSWATCH, said Death, AND PEOPLE DIE ON THE STREETS. PEOPLE FEAST BEHIND LIGHTED WINDOWS AND OTHER PEOPLE HAVE NO HOMES. IS THIS FAIR?
““Well, of course, that’s the big issue-” Albert began.
THE PEASANT HAD A HANDFUL OF BEANS, AND THE KING HAD SO MUCH HE WOULD NOT EVEN NOTICE THAT WHICH HE GAVE AWAY. IS THIS FAIR?
“Yeah, but if you gave it all to the peasant then in a year or two, he’d be just as snooty as the king-” began Albert, jaundiced observer of human nature.
NAUGHTY AND NICE? said Death. BUT IT’S EASY TO BE NICE IF YOU’RE RICH. IS THIS FAIR?

imma say it. “kung fu panda” did more for body positivity and saying that you can be fat and still be healthy and liked than ANYTHING any beauty companies trying to get your money.
