So I work in a fast food place and there's just recently been a change in management, well I always talk to one of my female co-workers I was aware she had a boyfriend just usually kind of flirted with her wasn't trying to you know be a douche or anything.

We don’t have the money to pay you
TL;DR Our CEO sent me, my superior and his boss and email stating that we missed a few oportunities for additional projects due to neglecting to search for open project proposals. He said we need sometone to keep an eye out for these opportunities and suggested me, but this is not my field of expertise. Our CEO takes everything very personal and can hold a grudge for a very long time. How can i refuse politely? Hi guys, I'm in need of your advice! A short description.

Same with the blue collar workers. That became almost a daily routine. Those persons have been working in this company for the past 20 years roughly. I cannot believe that there's people out there willing to be insulted every single day of their life in exchange for money. Some of them are being paid more to take the extra heat.
