Even with the bribe gifts, the amount of promotions for doing absolutely nothing is mind boggling.

2024-10-14 04:10:10 +0000 UTCThanks, Lauren. As you may have picked up from ACC, the US is owned by corporations. That means most of us -- even those like myself who have high-paying salary positions, have very little vacation time.

2024-10-13 03:01:40 +0000 UTCI remember Queensland Health staff being given vouchers for coffee and told to go see the Salvos if they needed help while the payroll stuff was happening.

2024-10-11 20:38:10 +0000 UTCHow odd that this is already the second case on Swindled of a con-man pretending to be a prince.
