One place had full sized beer and wine fridges. It was hilarious when the tech support people were getting drunk before lunch.

Some of the best corporate holiday parties I’ve been to were at small startups i worked at. Great end of year bonuses as well. Office kitchens filled with free snacks \ drinks and paid lunches on Fridays.
Eventually, they all hire accountants, business analysts, or financial officers. And it’s the same every time - they all start “cost cutting”… First the free food and lunches stop. Then the end of year parties. Then they complain about it being “a lean year” so they have to cut bonuses (about the same time they switch to “unlimited PTO” but guilt you into not taking any nor do they have to pay you out when you quit).
The best is around August or so, they post the financials and thank everyone for helping the company “smash” goals \ previous records, but then have some soulless mid level manager tell everyone at the end of the year they didn’t “meet expectations” so they don’t qualify for a raise.
God, I’m still bitter…

Films Frames - Every Frame is a Painting@lemmy.world•功夫 (Kung Fu Hustle) (周星馳 Stephen Chow, 2004)
6·1 month agoOne of the few films I found that I could enjoy rewatching. For a while there, I would rewatch it 1 or 2 times a year, for a good 19 years after it came out.
I think I’m gonna watch it tonight.

Starting to see some muscle definition from lifting, stuff is easier to pick up and move around. Wish i did it earlier, but better late than never.

The people at my gym! Half the dudes don’t “believe” in deodorant, half the women smell like a perfume store.
Just yesterday, soon as I got on the treadmill, a young b.o. smelling dude got on my left, and an old lady smelling like perfume got on my right - I lasted 8 minutes before I couldn’t take it and got off.

4·6 months agoI am interested in what you assume me accent be, though I’ll give ya some hints and you tell me where I’m from…
My wife teases my pronunciation of butter and water as they come out as “budder” and “wooder”, house roofs as “woofs”, and I call water creeks “cricks”. She also laughs at me when I get angry \ passionate as I become louder and sound like “one of those Italian gangsters from the old bugs Bunny cartoons”. And she’ll repeat back to me, exaggerated, “whaddya talkin about?!” as I seem to ask her that before every debate…

883·6 months agoI learned this from my dad… When I was young, we had a plumbing leak on a Sunday night, p-trap was leaking. All places were closed, so he went to a McDonald’s bathroom and stole theirs to replace ours.
20 something years later, my faucet was leaking. It was a discontinued model from a brand owned by home Depot, though they still had the display model up. Remembering what my pa did, I took the display model apart and took what I needed.

4·7 months agoMy wife thinks it’s funny that most words with a “t” in the middle, I pronounce as "d"s… Butter is budder, better is bedder, water is wooder, etc…
Also, creeks are “cricks”.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Am I the only one who thinks social media has destroyed the spirit of the internet?
2·7 months agoMore so, Internet has destroyed the spirit of conversation. When I was younger, people found me charming and intelligent when first meeting me after talking for a bit. Now, they can quickly “google” what I say and quickly learn that I am an ass, bullshitting and exaggerating what I don’t know, but making it up to keep the conversation interesting.
