Literally my workplace. But please ignore the bonuses, raises, and luxury trips we're still doling out to the sales department. Now get back to work, you engineering scum!

Sometimes I think I should've gone into sales, if for anything the perks. But then I remember that I hate people, especially other salespeople, so, shit.

I tried to enter into the HVAC salesforce seeing as I'm a licensed tech. But they don't want someone who actually know what they are talking about.

I wouldn't be a good fit for sales. I'm not that good of a lier.

My department saved our company over 30 million and we got a taco bar for one day

I got pizza once. Turns out thin crust is not very popular

That’s ok. I’ll do 5% less work instead.

That's literally the deal I did with my boss. They couldn't "afford" to pay me more because the investor wanted more money. So I negotiated a 15% cut in my work hours for the same wage.

No wage! Only spend!

Chivas is terrible whisky.

Sure, If you compare it with single malts. But for a blended whiskey it's pretty good.

Damn we gotta hustle so next year the boss maybe can afford to give us a raise!!

The time will come. Only few at falling for the false promises of communism anymore and the fight against inhuman capitalism is gaining momentum, slowly but surely. I'm telling my daughter (20yo) when she is an old woman, she'll witness the starting 1qdownfall of it and the earliest beginning of the waking up process of mankind. Sadly it's painfully slow, mostly because the rich and powerful do ANYTHING to remain the status quo, but nothing and nobody can stop change, just the question, where it leads... There older I get, the more optimistic I become, that the good will prevail.
