Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

I really enjoy hearing/sharing these; since so many people have them but try and repress them.
In my First job out of school - meet guy who started with the company forever ago - finds out he has cancer - company was asking everyone to donate sick time so he could take time off for treatment - guy eventually gets sicker and dies. Radicalizing moral- you’ll work your entire career for a company and at the end of the day they won’t even give you time to go die. Same job - COVID kicked off and in the “financial uncertainty” they expected us to take 75% pay for the same work - was immediately walked back after receiving a ppp loan - but I was already 500000% out the door. And those are just the professional class complaints lol I’ve been in retail and construction too but those are expected so they don’t stand out as much in memory
