I know someone who has sold hot tubs for over twenty years. I’m not sure if I could stand to do that for a week.

Here are the reasons: A) people become jerks about paying for high priced items B) there are many aspects to hot tub removal and installation that can become headaches C) helping people choose colors, styles and go through some kind of relationship building in the span of 45 minutes to an hour or two is super anxiety provoking

Boss goes nuts over a little scuff and slaps and degrades employee.

https://twitter.com/TizzyEnt/status/1658902570977435665?t=EHJ78p7VcwOjHOs5YqKH3g&s=19. Phoenix police don't even arrest him. I wonder why?

Think about how depressing and empty it would feel to sell promotional products every day.

Perhaps some of it is useful, but the amounts of hoops one has to jump through to create and ship those products to people who have all kinds of different wants and needs sounds obnoxious. There are thousands of kinds of products, ranging from hats to pens, and thousands of different kinds of customers.

How Risky Do You Think This Is?

So for context, I work remotely for my boss, managing the backend of his business, doing days analysis, etc. Recently, he decided to lay off two employees without warning. One of them is my good friend who is married with two kids and he is suddenly left without work. My boss asked me to write letters notifying them of the lay off and make sure to mention there is no severance package offered (since we are in an at will state). I really don't want to write the letter but this is currently my only job and I'm looking for others. I need the work so I'll play along, however… I wrote the letter and in the left side, the letters spell out Troy is a coward man. I showed my wife and she didn't notice it until I specifically pointed it out. I have attached a screenshot with identifiable…

My old company waited until the day payroll was supposed to process to tell people they couldn’t make payroll

I worked at this place for years and finally left last fall. Today I heard from friends who still work there that they suddenly announced that the paychecks that were supposed to land in their accounts TOMORROW aren't happening because the company is out of money. But they're not folding the company and letting everyone go… they just sort of expect everyone to be cool with the fact that the last two weeks have been unpaid, and that they won't be paid until who knows when? The CEO is “working on” getting funding to keep going. He's delusional, I know him, it's not happening. This fucking asshole waited until the last possible second to tell people about this. He fucked with their lives, their rent payments, everything. If he'd waited just one more day people would've noticed their paychecks hadn't landed in their bank accounts. That's why he announced it…
