"Company takes employee's idea, company uses idea, company fails to credit employee in any way" is pretty much how it goes whenever you have a bad company or just a really lovely boss / bosses' boss / etc somewhere up the chain. Assuming you want to make a career out of that job and are basically pissed you didn't get recognition, go talk to your boss (NOT HR) and raise it. If that doesn't work, go to the head of the team handling the project and ask for a transfer to his department. In both cases, the reason you're there is "I've done all of the prep work for it, it's very exciting and I want to be a part of it going forward"; naturally, do not mention anything negative about not being credited and just pretend you're bright eyed and bushy tailed. You want to get on the radar without being seen as a malcontent.

If neither of those work, quit. Don't worry, you weren't gonna see any money anyway.

For the love of god don't go to any PhD program that will accept you with a 2.5 GPA and especially don't go because your parents said so. That's how you get to work as a lab tech $200,000 later because no one's paying your way.

This is poor people thinking for people that don't understand money. If you have millions of dollars, your full time job is to invest and grow that money. Going to your 9-5 is a waste of time and a stupid thing to do. Go back to school, learn about finance and accounting, and then make your money work for you.

Yep. 1% of 26 million is 260K a year. If you can figure out how to grow it 1% more than it would appreciate sitting in a bank, that's worth X of your day jobs. Unless you love your job and want to do it forever, go learn money management.

I know this is 2018 and we don't really talk about poisoned wombs anymore, but "I can't help my basic hygiene issues because walking into a shower for 5 minutes is too hard" is pretty much where I check out on helping and start pissing in the well

Honestly the biggest problem with the story is in the phrase "3 feet long" to the point where I'm thinking maybe that was just a very unfortunate typo

like, to match the rest of the story's tone it'd have to be like 3000 feet long

Also you really have to set this during the Clinton era because with HW's son in the White House afterwards it just doesn't work. Bonus: the psychic thing was pissed at Hillary and that's why, well, you know.

The Will missing person story has been done by sci-fi/fantasy authors a couple of times, but this is a pretty good take on it. If you could flesh that out and turn it into a book you would really have something there. Don't ever reveal what exactly the deal was, and end on a cliffhanger when you find proof he existed.

as a cis male I have no opinion on trans issues, except that I'm morbidly looking forward to the inevitable discovery that the estrogen from BC in the water supply really is contributing to the explosion of transgender diagnoses and the resulting Republican war on birth control

i had a bit of an anxiety attack today because an interviewer thought it'd be cheeky and fun to ask where i was on 9/11. guess that's how you spot "cultural fit"?

"I was in Manhattan. I walked home over the Queensboro Bridge while staring at the smoke and thinking about whether it would be a good idea to enlist as an officer before the draft restarted. Cell phones weren't ubiquitous yet so my parents had no idea where I was until I found a payphone with only a ten minute line on the other side of the bridge. They had just finished calling all their friends and as it turned out, the guy who built their house was trapped in an elevator on an upper floor and just had time to leave his pregnant wife a farewell voicemail before he burned or dropped to death, so they were pretty frantic. Anyway, then I sat around in my room and didn't turn on the TV for a week. To compensate and have something to take my mind off the cloud of darkness, I spent that week posting on a really weird internet forum where someone posted "watch Bush start a loving war" and was flamed over it for months because we were attacked and that's not how things work at all.

To be honest, I think this is one of the worst questions I've ever heard of in an interview so I don't think I'd be a good fit here. It might be better for both of us to finish this interview early."

You're in charge of producing 'voyeur' porn for a website. Do you:

1) Pay a hooker $50.

2) Run into a restroom and stick a phone over the stall to get a blurry three second shot, get caught, beat up, arrested and charged with a sex crime, spend five years in prison getting beat up very day, then spend the rest of your life on a sex offender registry unable to get any job other than McDonalds.
