My friend did it and he's pretty well off for now- not wealthy but he's a great guy, good with money. Humble. But man, something about lying like that- it's moreso the idea of “what if you get caught?”. I wanna get a writing job or something similar, but that shit requires a college degree. A college degree for writing- nonsense lmo. If you got examples, you got examples. None of this college crap, college is a scam.

I went to HR to let them know my boss was crying on the phone to me because of how her boss talked to her. The same day, the CMO called me and apologized to me line for line about what I discussed with HR. After that moment, she ignored all of my messages, pretended not to see any of my work, belittled me on every single phone call.. it became very obvious that…

My work just asked us to work a 6th day in a row of 10hr shifts after just ONE day off. What the fuck kind of Orwellian bullshittery is this? My back and knees are on fire, my homelife is a mess, I've missed countless milestones in my kids life…and I'll never retire.
