The woodchipper calls to me. It's starving it says. Feet. It wants feet.
Make sure to leave the shoes out so we can take a picture for PR purposes later
Damn guess I'm a woodchipper then 👅
Feet first are you out of your mind?
Hey Kinjil, you're an asshole.
Adding Squarespace to the black list...
time to let every content creator who accepts their sponsorship know about this
I haven't has a squarespace ad read on my feed for years. Now I know why.
What is a CMO? Chief Medical Officer? Completely Moronic Outburster? Certainly not Chief Morale Officer?, with those views.
Chief marketing officer
Of course, the most cancerous and toxic career field. Marketing.
I swear 98.9999% of marketing is just scamming people.
Your estimate seems a few orders of magnitude low. I once had an Econ 101 professor who said she recognized that I should think about going into marketing as I would be good at it. I responded "Nah, I prefer my soul right where it is." Little did she know it was already on the short bus headed for hell as I am agnostic and will enjoy the conversation with other righteous nonbelievers.
I graduated with a BFA, concentration in fashion design, just after a major economic crash. It was expected, even before the crash, that design students would take "internships" at design companies and studios where the would be free labor, doing shit like sweeping, fetching coffee, and so on, while learning nothing beyond what they got in school, and not earning any credit (because, y'know, you had already graduated). It was understood that you would do this for 18-24 months after graduation.
I was not able to do this; my (now) ex-wife was not willing to move to NYC or LA with me so I could pursue this, and I wasn't going to be able to work enough hours at a real job to support myself while also working at an "internship".
This is why I am not working in the fashion industry now.
The key takeaway of the article is she was so unemployable when she started that she had to apply everywhere and be willing to put in extra effort and accept lesser pay to get started. Then after that, she got lucky.
That's usually how it goes - especially for those who don't have any defining traits.
Not to mention Travelocity broke the law by allowing her to work for free while benefiting their company.
In general, as long as an employee is engaging in activities that benefit the employer, regardless of when they are performed, the employer has an obligation to pay the employee for that time.

They did. They paid her a rate of $0/hr, which she agreed to.
Limp dick regulators don't care...
These people know this that's why they are ae to shill crime as "story"
Agreed. She had the right connection, had the right look, was in the right place at the right time, etc. Not saying she's not intelligent, creative, etc--she probably is or wouldn't be in these roles. She definitely didn't get to where she is through hard work, though.
she should lead by example
lmao.. not even surprised. I've only had one Indian boss, that guy thought salaried employees have to work 60+ hours a week. Then the sob convinced the CTO to eliminate half of the IT staff across the board (14 people total) and replace them with off shore Indian labor to save money. Once I realized what had happened I decided it was best to resign. Especially when my boss expected me to lead team meetings with the off shore Indian team at 4AM PST / 4:30PM IST. And still come into work at 7AM til 5-6-7PM
Soo...did this place eventually collapse under its own hubris? I went through similar when I used to work for Silicon Valley Bank. Eventually their hubris caught up to them.
I didn't keep up with their current events. Ever so often I would ponder what happened with the rest of the IT team members but I never reached out to any of them (LinkedIn) for gossip.
Nah companies who have this way of thinking should go out of business instead.
that's slavery, Karen
Its one full-time GenZ employee, Michael. How much could it cost? $10?
Woah, hold your horses there: Full time? 39 hours, no more.
29 hours. Once you pass 30, you are required to give health benefits
