Any woman who needs to track her period On her phone is too stupid to procreate anyway . Pro choice! Choose not to have sex or choose to use protection. There are two choices women can make before killing their child
"Professor (soon-to-be) Doctor Sullivan", thanks for your contributions and wishing you all the best in health and your future endeavors in academics and elsewhere!
On the man who landed the Cessna. I read about it just after it happened. He figured out how to use the radio when the pilot stopped making sense and eventually passed out. They were coming from a Caribbean island so were over water at the time. The traffic controllers found a flight instructor who was flying another plane to explain the airplane’s flight panel and talked the passenger down from the sky into a landing. The instructor said that the man was amazingly calm considering that the first solo flight of people with lessons is more than nerve wracking.
If you were that man, would you fly again? Would you take flying lessons? Would you get sick upon landing? Yikes!!! Also, the passengers in the plane being piloted by the instructor must have been shaken too.
We will miss you Kate! Happy for your future and past achievements. Come back and say hello to us. And as for you Mr. Bill, darn, I would much prefer the 700K be in your pocket.
In regards to females using period tracking apps, and their fear of that information being used against them if the government passes laws restricting their personal freedoms... Remember this feeling, and the anger and fear that comes with the idea of being criminally prosecuted and publicity persecuted, when legal gun owners talk about how the government is infringing on their 2nd amendment rights and wants to pass restrictive laws to track and watch gun owners all in the name of "public interest."
Joining the "running-down-the-hill" team. About to resign from a contract that starts on June 1st. Not pretending I am proud, I am deeply ashamed for the half-a-year the recruiter spent on my process, but as we say in my country: better flushing for a while than pale the rest of the life.
I applied and was offered a job with the US Census, 2+ years ago. The ad for the job said, "full or part time, choose your own hours..." etc. I am retired and looking for PT work, so it sounded ideal.
I went to orientation, filled out the paperwork, they did the background check, and I got a login to the secure system.
Then the truth came out. "We are understaffed, so you need to work at least 40 hours per week, not counting your traveling around time, but you you won't be paid for over that without written permission from your supervisor." I didn't want 40 hours anyway.
And first I had to sit at home and view 8 hours' worth of training videos (for which I would be paid). They covered all the s**t that I might encounter, how to get people to let me in and answer the questions, etc. It made me very uncomfortable, but it made my wife tell me to quit the job asap.
Turns out, they were withholding the first paycheck until I completed all the training and showed up for my first day on the street. They never paid me for the training or anything, but I got a notice from them that I could apply for unemployment. One phone call confirmed that you actually have to receive a paycheck before you can apply.
Moral: it was government work, so what did I expect?
For people who value money over character this may be inspiration but many feel that this is a sign that we are on a very destructive path. Most of your stories have positive moral values, this one was lacking except for making us realize how far we have fallen.
Now this is the first poor story (ie slanted and incomplete) that I have seen from you. It’s all set up as rich vs poor but do you even know if the CFO is rich (besides the $700,00, which is half that after tax)? And what more likely happened (good reporting would tell us) is he had a contract with a severance clause (very common, especially if employed already when hired) that says he gets a years pay if they fire him without cause within the first year or two of the new job. If he is guilty of anything (note prior employer cited only a late filing, not an indictment or conviction of this guy for any crime) it’s not misconduct against his new employer - so no cause to terminate, but they did anyway). They just chose to avoid the appearance and let him go, and paid him as per contract.
Disappointing that you set this up as an example of have and have not - that fire already has enough real flame that this is beneath you, in my opinion.
Not sure why Moderna feels the need to pay someone $700K for a day. Are they not sure he really did something wrong? And unless you are a Moderna shareholder, who cares??
More importantly, Kate is leaving. You are a shining star Kate. An inspiration to thousands of people. Take that with you when you feel the burden of a deadline for your thesis. You are loved, admired and in Scotland! Ah, my brethren!
I'm going to take a guess that Kate Sullivan is not departing with $700,000 in her pocket. Best of luck Kate
