40 Workers Just Did The Public A Huge Favor By Telling These Secrets

I will repeat it ad nauseum: time is the most valuable & precious resource we have.

So true. And HR is NOT your friend.

Good thing I'll never have kids.

Not being available all the time will be held against you come raise time. But honestly it's worth it. I used to stay and help. They appreciate it when they don't have to cover those shifts themselves. But it never matters in the end. I always recommend that you get a job where you can survive on the lowest amount they will pay you. Anything above that is gravy, but never rely on it. That's how they get you to be desperate and make the job your whole life.

I know this for a fact. Read a book called Cadillac Desert ot watch the PBS miniseries. The existence of cities in the western desert of the USA is entirely dependant on water and where it comes from.

Is it? I suspect you could do without oxygen for less time than water! Whilst it’s incredibly important, overblowing your statements mean less people listen.

I would also add as advice to girls: please learn math. Most high-paying jobs today are either physical or technical, and many are male-dominated—not because of bias, but because some physical work isn’t feasible for everyone. If you don’t find a passion that doesn’t require college, you’ll need school. I was great at web design and coding, but couldn’t get hired without a degree— I hadn’t taken math since I was 11 because I went to a trade high school, and I was expected me to pass calculus. Nearly every degree except English requires higher-level math so I was stuck with that and it was a useless degree. So get tutoring, play math games, and practice. Math helps with logic and opens doors to other possible career paths like being an electrician or computer science which is where all jobs are going.

Because of AI in Facebook message and WhatApp, kids in remote places are now turning their brains off and cheating in homework. Back to paper essay exams. No multiple choice and not on a digital platform.

I remember watching a Gok Wan show years ago where he took a group of early teens girls to a photoshoot with a mildly famous model (the girls recognised her). They were astonished to see how much work the studio decided she needed to look presentable, not just primping but loads of Photoshop too.

"HR is in bed with management" - Astronomer/Coldplay. Human resources, like natural resources, are there to be exploited in corporate processes and the waste products disposed of as cheaply as possible.

How is this a secret? Even if you don't work for a company with a HR department, this comment is on Bored Panda about twice a day.

not true in my country

HR protect the company from employees

First: If you are a librarian and have books in storage peed on by mice, than you are not a good librarian. Second: Our local libraries LOVE receiving books, especially classics and older non-narrative sourcebooks. Sure, they may give some away, to other libraries, institutions or interested people, or throw them out after a while. I donated a few older "Jane's World ..." Indexes and I've been told that they are usually on loan throughout the country because they are rare and were d**n expensive in the first place. Third, I got some amazing books as third-hand giveaways, including a rare copy of the diary of a WW1 general, a 1970s copy of the coveted "Whole Earth Catalog" (admittedly in terrible conditions) and some rocketry-themed books from the early space-race era.

Louder for the people in the back! A well-meaning but very misinformed colleague accepted THIRTY SEVEN boxes of books from someone, sight unseen. Boss put me in charge of organizing and storing them. They were disgusting. I got through seven and told my boss I was recycling the rest.

It's still sad.

This is sometimes true to the point of hilarity. My phone switchover to Verizon had gone terribly. I finally called after trying the online guidance and chat. They transferred me across no less than 3 departments. They all stayed on the call - conference call style - the whole time together rather than just transferring me. They were nice and I like to think I brought three people who work remotely from each other a couple laughs - and they solved my issue!! Great day!

"Have you tried turning it off and turning it on again?" Someone had to say it.

I know logically this is true but when I was looking into getting a food truck the regulations and inspections were so insane and costly. In MA, it's like 4800 just for health and safety inspections. And I've had friends with food trucks and they get inspected a lot. I used to run a Cumberland Farms (a fancy gas station with coffee and food) and the town's health inspector was there once a month. I haven't experienced living anywhere where the health inspectors aren't there regularly. All of these Kitchen Disaster places...how does it get like that without an inspection?

Press F to doubt. The destination of industrial waste is not a matter of client's choice. Companies -and I deal with injection molding companies- have internal processes to recover scrap plastics at the point of manufacturing, reusing them in the very same production line if possible (some have pelletizers for this specific purpose), and have contracts in place for recovery of secondary materials collection. Specialized agents collect and recycle material that is usually well sorted and clean since it just came out the factory line, paying good money. Right now, automotive-quality plastics (PP, ABS, PC, HDPE) in sorted scraps go from 300€/ton to about 500 €/ton and as high as 1000 €/ton for sorted regrind.

propelled by electricity is the biggest green-wash scandal.

I understand that this can be annoying but the people running these businesses can't do so for free. They need staff and, yes, a lot of volunteers, too. But volunteers basically come and go as they please and work shorter shifts. When the charity is massively successful, you need a full time staff to manage the logistics and they aren't going to do so for free. You can't. You can't employ people and not pay them. So, yes, a lot of money goes to running the charity. But in a lot of honest charity cases, this is pretty standard. I'd be more concerned about "charities" that have boards and ceos and how the charity isn't even a charity anymore. It's a political tool. Charities that give to fascists and political campaigns, etc. My donation to the Salvation Army is meant to go to homeless and needy people. If it goes to help run the charity that's okay. But I shouldn't find out it's going to fund a republican superPAC or a company that sends kids to pray-the-gay-away camp.

I stopped giving to some major charities when I learnt how much money went on running costs and the expenses of senior staff

Yeah, the company doesn't show a profit but the CEO and such have huge saleries usually. And pay for 10 minute ads about freezing dogs and a sad song. Airtime is expensive.

Why is this a bad thing? It is costly to organize people. If you hire mediocre leaders you'd have mediocre results. If that 50% creates major impact that me on my own would not produce, why would I care that m donation went to that administration?... I really don't get it.
