Exposed: The Shocking Corporate Secrets They Don’t Want You to Know—And Why You’re Somehow Not In Jail
Hospice is there to teach all present how best to care for your person. No, is ALWAYS an answer. But GUILT lasts forever.
If you eat blue bell ice cream, there is a solid chance rainwater seeped into the packaging and it was sent out anyway.
Threatening violence won’t get you released from a psych unit sooner. Our job is to help you NOT hurt yourself or others.
Most people that work at a library are library associates. A librarian requires a masters in library science. Also, no….library workers don’t even get close to reading all day, if at all.
Restaurant Worker ,if you’re rude to the waitstaff, don’t be surprised if your food takes longer. We’re not spitting in it, but no one’s in a rush.
Hairstylist here. If you always end up with a “crooked” haircut no matter how many different salons you go to, you probably just have a crooked head. Never in the history of the human race has there ever been a perfectly symmetrical face; everyone has one ear or eye that’s slightly larger/smaller, higher/lower, bigger/smaller, etc.
The difference is that great stylists know how to create the illusion of symmetry.
Your kid’s teacher cusses a lot and probably was a big partier back in the day.
Therapist, here. Clients are only (supposed to be) hospitalized when they pose a clear and present danger to themselves or others.
1. If you’re scared to tell a professional how badly you’re hurting, start every sentence with, “I’m not going to hurt myself, but…” It’ll ease their nerves and help them focus on how to help you hang on.
2. If you’re going to hurt yourself, say so. A short stay in the hospital beats eternity in the grave.
I can’t speak for all Hotels/Motels.
We at the property will not freely cancel a reservation if the date of the reservation is within 72 hours of when you’re trying to cancel(like trying to cancel a Saturday reservation on Thursday).
However! We will move the date of a reservation (as long as it was made directly with us, not through a third party like Booking.com) for free. This is entirely an oversight on our part. I assume most Hotels have their s**t together enough to fix this loophole.
So just move the reservation out to next week. Ok, now it’s more than 72 hours away? Cancel for free. Give it a shot.
Most big companies that write their own internal software are one bad day away from entire systems going down and their public image shatter, because the code is poorly implemented or the folks who developed it were laid off or left.
Vinyl records are far less expensive than you think, but only if you’re a record store or retail outlet. Distributors will sell records at nearly cost with a suggested MSRP (suggested retail price) that’s 30-40% more.
Worked a few professions in my life.
– Restaurants cut corners wherever possible. Margins are thin and most places will use things right up to and maybe beyond the point of expiration.
– Any accountant will tell you that every company, no matter what it is, wastes gobs of money of random things while also penny pinching in equally random ways.
– Company leadership often hide their shenanigans deep in the back of corporate books. So deep that even if there is strong suspicion that something off, most will be driven mad before finding anything specific.
– People joke (or are legit paranoid) about the government knowing everything about them. I can assure them that not only is this true, but companies know WAY more and profit off it. The only comfort I can give is that you (and everyone around you) are “average” and there is nothing so special that will make them “come after you.”.
Christian Clergy here.
Many of us don’t believe what we are preaching. Yet they truly care about the folks they work with.
Also, most of them are broke and struggling just to pay bills and survive.
The US’ education system is far more f****d up than you could ever fear.
Every single metric used to measure success is beyond biased: Many students get literally-twenty tries to pass basic tests, so as to keep graduation rates looking strong. The ‘standardized’ tests your state employs have backup tests, and backup-backup-backup-backup tests ready to go, just for emergencies.
The problem is that those emergencies equate to about a third of the entire student population. But you would never know that because all of the results are lumped together so that there’s always lovely pass-rates.
Since COVID first broke out, I have personally witnessed dozens of students graduate while not being able to spell their own names or tie their own shoes; and I work in one of the most prestigious counties in the country. Whoever teaches in the lowest counties deserves infinite money and praise.
