  • Someone I worked with had a great rage quit. He worked his ass off for the whole year doing insane overtime and sacrificing way too much for a thankless corporation. When it came to raise time, my boss gave him a 0% raise, citing that he already made more than average/benchmark.

    After that meeting he just left. He left all his work stuff on his desk, he didn’t tell anyone he wasn’t coming back from lunch time ish. It took a full month before they stopped paying him, and my boss would come around almost every day to ask if anyone knew where he was or how to contact him. I think they just assumed he was blowing off steam and would come back, meanwhile he moved to another city.

    I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not. I mean, Trump is just the marketing of a president. All sizzle, no steak. He has appeared in debates but it’s a huge stretch to say he’s shown up well in them.

    In fact, a lot of politics are purely a popularity contest these days, aren’t they?
