I just tried to look up H.P. Lovecraft because I wanted to learn about his racism and

WHAT HERO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS

KFKSJFKDKKCKSS

lovecraft is one of the greatest writers of all time but oh whoops, he also happened to be something of a racist (obviously very rare among 1920s white men) so let’s ignore historical context and cultural climate and invalidate his entire legacy as the godfather of cosmic horror and a genius author because his cat was named something offensive

Watch: It’s your right to share your salary, not doing so could be holding you back.

At my last company, one day someone in accounting approached me at lunch and quietly told me I need to ask for a raise because I was way underpaid.

They gave me a number to shoot for.  It was about twice than what I had been making at the time.

So I went online, did some research, found some figures backing up my claim, put it all together and went to my boss.

I got what I asked for.

If it hadn’t been for that person in accounting telling me I was way underpaid, I’d have never known.  I went from barely scraping by to being able to have a savings account and getting all my debts paid thanks to them.

You should at least check sites like salary.com to start the process of seeing what you should be making.

Because this is crucially important

Except for the fact that 90% of the time you are under contract not to talk about your salary otherwise the company can sue you. Every job I’ve had I’ve had to sign that I won’t discuss my pay with other employees otherwise my employment is terminated and the company will take legal action. 

It’s actually illegal for companies to forbid wage discussion, they’re just counting on you not knowing your rights.

wow its a good thing companies always follow the law and never lie

totally not aesthetic but i don’t care, PLEASE TALK ABOUT YOUR SALARIES.

I’m in a union, my rates are the same as every one of my comrades.

Something about working in Wildlife and natural resources in general is there’s always someone who is absolutely fine working outside in like a category four hurricane, tornado coming down the road, lighting striking a nearby tree, acting like they don’t notice.

And I’d accept them and ignore their apparent death wish if not for the fact that this type of person ALWAYS is also the type of person who thinks they’re the normal one.

Tornado sirens will be going off and I’ll be like “looks like we have to call it a day”

And they’ll be like “we’ll……I mean if YOU want to go in just because it’s storming I guess we can put off this work but that’ll make it a hassle later…”

And everyone else is like you know what’s a bigger hassle

Being Dead

This is the guy who wants to finish measuring the stream when there’s literally a wildfire approaching and the firefighters are trying to evacuate us.

I’ve met this guy. I hate him.

GOD YEAH!!!!

XKCD Got You Covered:

Most people killed by lightning strikes are, you guessed it, employed in natural resources and related outdoor fields.
