Americans, What do you think of Senator John Kennedy's act proposal to Take away Congress pay during government shutdowns?

· 2 min read

TL;DR: Senators are now debating whether Congress should get paid to not pay the rest of the country, while the public wonders if the only thing that can be shut down is the government or their own patience.

"What do you think of Senator John Kennedy's act proposal to take away Congress pay during government shutdowns? I mean, if Congress can’t pay their own, maybe they should learn to budget the rest of the country too!"


Greedy coworker

· 4 min read

I have a coworker that eats everything all the time. Whenever they bring us lunch he is the first in line and stacks his plate with no regard. Before he started we had a snack drawer with snacks we bought and stated it was open to everyone who forgot to bring lunch as long as they contributed to the snack drawer but he would eat all of our snacks and never replace them. This has gotten so out of hand that we started to put our snacks in our own private drawers but other coworkers have let us know that they have caught him taking snacks out of our drawers on days where we weren’t there. Whenever we order lunch he always asks if we can pay for him and he will pay us back on pay day but he never does. I feel bad for him but he does bring himself a lunch daily, he also comes in with breakfast. It’s become such an issue that we don’t even keep snacks in the office anymore. We want to bring it up to our managers but it seems like such a non issue that we aren’t sure what to do, what should we do?

Edit: the greediness isn’t even the biggest problem with him, he smells so bad.

Day-One Disaster The Great Office Coffee Bean Heist

· 2 min read

New hire walks in bright-eyed. Leaves wide-eyed. In between? A felony against caffeine.

TL;DR

Brand new employee learns the coffee is “free for everyone.” Interprets this as: “I personally own all coffee now.”
Puts BOTH giant Starbucks bean bags into her purse. Returns next day. Gets fired before the first sip. Office morale: shaken but united.

The Scene

It’s onboarding day. New Hire seems a little wired (ironically, pre-coffee). She spots two glorious, unopened bags of Starbucks beans in the break room.

“Whose are these?”
“They’re for everyone. Company buys coffee.”
“Cool.”

Narrator: It was not, in fact, cool.
