At my last job, after working there for a while, they offered us the chance to go from taking hour lunch breaks to half hour lunch breaks and then getting to leave a half hour early. I was one of the few people who said “No, thank you!” which sort of branded me as being [...]
“America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves.”
It has taken me a criminally long time to read this amazing book despite being told again and again since probably 9th grade how wonderful it is and how much I will [...]
