My dad often tells a story of his time in Hong Kong in the 70's. His brother was working out there and he went to visit. They were on a high floor in a skyscraper when a local window cleaner entered the room, opened a window and climbed outside onto a 1ft wide ledge and started washing windows. Dad was shocked and asked his brother what happened if the cleaner fell. His brother simply said they get another window cleaner. Terry Pratchett put it well when he wrote “And sin, young man, is when you treat people as things. Including yourself. That’s what sin is.’ ‘It’s a lot more complicated than that -’ ‘No. It ain’t. When people say things are a lot more complicated than that, they means they’re getting worried that they won’t like the truth. People as things, that’s where it starts.” A lot of the posts…

Is this normal? Had an interview at a casino, pays min wage but claims good tips. I was told to fill an application first and I was waiting for the person to interview me. It wasn't the person from the email but a manager who went ahead and explained me everything. Said once I get hired I will have to go to the police department for a background check and pay $120 out of my pocket that they don't pay back. Is that normal? Was never asked for that.

PSA: If you want to make the studios come to the table and give the guilds a fair deal, then the best way is a general boycott of them. Especially the streamers like Netflix, who is one the main agitators toward the guilds. When their shares take a hit, they will come back to the table quicker. STOP PAYING THEM! that is the only way to effect lasting change.

I’ve been with a company for about 10 years, freelance first, then full time. I’ll admit I’ve had plenty of struggles over the years, all culminating to a traumatic event involving police at my house 4 times in 48 hours and my ex going to rehab after locking my kid inside. I asked for time off then but my boss said “unfortunately, no” I’ve been spending the last year and half dealing with divorce court, custody battles, and working my ass off trying to keep my head above water.. when I’d asked for a raise I was offered 12 weeks unpaid leave. I took it, I got help for CPTSD and dealing with narcissists, and am unfortunately still married and dealing with court. I came back and kept hearing “welcome back” like I was on vacation when I was burning through every PTO day I had till they were gone…
