“If minorly insinuating at an outside office event that I had a one-night stand with my now husband is not workplace appropriate, neither is subjecting me to hours of gnarly details involving pregnancy and the illnesses of spawn.”
“This is merely another soulless group that does not support diversity, inclusion, or human equality unless it is comfortable and profitable to them.”

Similarly, a piece of paper saying “Employee of the Month” paired with a goody bag will never be equivalent to true gratitude, like providing better wages, benefits, and improved working conditions for employees.”
“To advertise “competitive wages” when our front-line employees are paid minimum wage is insulting to the working class. Who are you competing with, unemployment?”
“It is not a mystery why people quit and now I am joining them for the betterment of my talents, which you will struggle to replace.”
