There's ALWAYS hope!

Especially for those of us who are still breathing!

So odd that there'd be resistance to that sick leave - after what COVID did to us all.

Begrudging a few days of sick leave when the whole world has been disabled in one way or other by COVID for the past two years.

That makes absolutely no sense to me. I would have thought we’d all just learned how important it is to take the time to get well again!

No kidding!!!

And Hillary Clinton also.

No kidding!!!!

GOOD!!! Do it! Send a message!

You try this shit, you WILL face serious actual consequences.

Awwwwww, that got me choked up.

What I liked best was how they never seemed jealous of each other

or resentful or catty.

I’m really glad. Cuz I’ve been in situations where I was one of two girls in the group - in this case a newly assembled team of FM anchors for a news network aimed at rock stations. I’d never had a chance to work with the other woman. She and I were always on competing radio stations in the same market. I felt no hostility or jealousy or resent my toward her. For Pete’s sake, WHY???

I assumed we were on friendly terms. But she evidently harbored resentment toward me. It later came to full flower when we were both hired for this new young adult network. She immediately hated me! And what did I ever do to her? Besides exist? And, I suppose, get in her way, even though we had different shifts and I never wanted to be in ANYBODY’S way in the first place! Certainly never tried to get in anybody’s way.

When I was still working I learned a boatload about the downside of being successful. The higher you climb, the more people there are at levels below you, resenting what you achieved and presuming that the job you worked so hard to earn should be theirs instead. And they’d wind up shooting at you (figuratively speaking) to get you out of their way.
