an ex-colleague requested time off from work well in advance to take her kid to a doctor appointment. on the day our boss made a big deal about it, she explained it's a medical appointment fo her child. and he straight up says “you're not a doctor, you don't need to be there but we need you here”

University prices NEED to drop because it is legit some people‘s first opportunity to get away from their dysfunctional family

I'm ngl, I do not care about "feeling seen" at work. As long as that paycheck is "seen" hitting my bank account then I'm good. all i want to do is the bare minimum and go home.

I'm not broke, I'm just not stupid.
