As the electric, gas, and water companies are relentless.

When that guy opened his water bill and electricity bill at the same time…he was shocked

I giggled at that now I’m not sure if I’m going to the fire hell from the Bible. Should I pray?

I told my boss something similar (I was asked to apply for another role with higher pay) and she basically showed me the door, “Oh wow! I’ll support you in whatever you want to do.” …except pay me more.

It’s shitty that companies would rather hire externally and pay them more than pay their current employees more/what they’re worth and lose good employees.

Are you considering the other jobs?

I'm glad I found this. Please don't let amy one take advantage of you... if the people you work with dont value you then move on.. you care worth more than to be treated poorly!

This and the other "whoosh" comment in this thread come off as bots that are missing the nuance of the joke.

It's funny. My first thought was "nobody can be that oblivious can they?"and that it must be a bot, lol

Lmao. "Oh yes, my sister has free-range chickens that often are seen roaming in the street. Usually they are looking for food in the meadow across."
