Ever noticed that people who are disabled or injured, there is a consistant narrative “it will be OK! They can still go on to live a long productive life”.

I never realised how sick that statement is.

Job with no tasks

Several years ago I ran across a story about a young woman who was hired by a large company. It was an assistant type office job. All the managers thought she was given work tasks by another manager. She spent her whole time on Facebook or writing a blog about how bored she was at work. And how stupid that none of the managers figured it out that she wasn’t doing anything. All the typing made her look busy. Someone discovered her blog and then they fired her. I’m looking for the original story.

Update: New hire makes 35k more than I do

Some time ago, I made a post here about how a new hire in my field was making 35k more than me even though we had the same degree and job title. I am happy to announce that I have turned in my notice to my current employer (now ex-employer). I have accepted a new job where I make 50k more. I have better hours, better benefits, and a more prestigious title. My ex-employer begged me to reconsider. Called my personal phone numerous times, sent more than one email. I ignored all of them. You wouldn't give me the time of day or decency to even sit down to talk about my pay and now you want me to listen to you? Play bitch games, win bitch prizes. Edit2: spelling
