Getting a better job should not mean you risk getting fired from your current one.

So they say it's easier to get a job when you have one, which is generally true, but the problem is you barely have time depending on what your current job and schedule is. So for example if you work an 8-5 office job and you're looking to work at another one, the chances are the employer will expect you to come in for an onsite interview during work hours.

My coworker’s last day was yesterday and today they sent her this text. They had workers sign noncompetes when we were hired.

Whenever I hear an argument against cancelling student loans:

My wife died at a time when the life saving treatment had not yet been invented. It is DISRESPECTFUL to my wife’s memory to allow other’s to be saved by this newly invented life saving treatment.
