  • Yeah. HR at my work doesn’t know how to do anything other than payroll. I had to set up short term disability because I had surgery and it took like a month for me to get it handled. I was totally on my own because HR knew nothing and didn’t even give me the right phone number for the disability insurance folks. -_-

    But don’t worry, she’ll come yell at you like you’re 5 if she thinks you’re goofing off.




  • Thank you! I considered leaving the field, but I have worked too damn hard to get where I’m at to just give up now. I wanna be successful in this field as a big ol “fuck you” to everyone who said I would fail/not amount to anything. I’m also good at what I do and I really like the work, despite having shitty employers.



  • I’m almost 4 years into my IT career and it’s been ROUGH. Especially because I’m a woman in a male-dominated field. I was treated like I’m dumb in so many interviews and faced blatant sexism. My fiirst job in the field fired me because they had to cut costs because the projects they were implementing cost an arm and a leg. My current job basically told me that I will not be advancing to a higher position (after I busted my ass for 2.5 years to try to learn enough to get promoted) and will not be paid what I, and my other disillusioned coworkers, think I deserve.










  • I say hella every day. Slang accentuates speech and makes it fun, so I use a lot of it. Not an obnoxious amount, though. Gotta get the slang amount just right, just like swearing. It’s an art.

    I don’t use skibidi because it’s too long to easily work into sentences casually. Also it’s a really fucking dumb word that feels wrong saying. Like I tried it a few times and cringed so hard I thought I was gonna flip inside out or some shit. My soul started leaving my body.
