  • You assume minimum wage workers like me get a salary lol

    Edit: in the uk, if your total pay divided by your total hours falls below minimum wage, then yes, your pay stopped and you still worked. From my management colleagues who were on salary, they still had a set number of hours they worked per week.

    Strangely enough the deputy manager who worked twice my hours got twice my takehome pay, despite that I was just a sales assistant.












  • What? Noooo, so this is how I find out!

    I studied Japanese for about 11 years. I used to work in the west end, so I’d have Japanese tourists to practise on. They’d always be like, aaah, sugeeee! And tell me how good my Japanese was. I started speaking in Kansai ben just to throw them off and it always made them laugh. But tbh my Japanese was crap, I just thought I was doing a good enough job bluffing. As soon as they started talking in Japanese, I’d have to say kiku koto ikkomo dekehen waaaaaa 😅


  • I’ve watched my niece and nephews do their homework and since it’s all done online, they literally copypaste the question into chatgpt, then copypaste the answer.

    This is what happens when you ditch pen and paper (there have also been studies showing that handwriting activates different parts of the brain that increases memory retention or something like that, too lazy to look it up). Anyway, we can look forward to gen alpha coworkers not knowing how to do anything if this is how they do their homework.
