I just ate KFC last Sunday
no regrets
looks like Aoba Seragaki and Colonel Sanders finally got together
things i say that confuse and worry my coworkers:
- “happy birthday” every time i hand them something
- “well, that’s not ideal” whenever something is going wrong
- “we are in the timeline that god abandoned” whenever i’m mildly inconvenienced
- “can’t you see that your fighting is tearing this family apart?” whenever two or more coworkers are arguing
- referring to taking medication as “eating medicine”
- “time to go back to prison!” when putting animals back in their cages
referring to inanimate objects as (s)he, particularly when i break something and say “oh no, he’s dead.” this concerns them especially when i follow it up with “that’s not ideal”
- “what are they gonna do, fire me?”
I work in a blood bank, and constantly refer to blood types as flavors, such as “Oh, you need two units? What flavor is he?” And my older coworkers just look at me confused but my coworker that’s my age doesn’t miss a beat and responds “A Pos”
this is probably my favorite comment on this post so far

Cant believe that by 2048 tom holland will be typecast for action movies & my grandkids will think hes vaguely charming but corny & only my generation will remember the momentous cultural shift that occurred the moment he stepped out from behind those umbrellas in lipstick and thigh-high fishnet stockings. “Hey grandma wasn’t Tom Holland famous in your time too?” [me, vividly flashbacking to that time I declared on tumblr I’d sit on his face in spite of the frog] “Yeah”
so imagine you’re making ratatouille and you don’t like tomatoes. you don’t like the taste, the texture, the putting them in the water and the peeling them – eugh! so you say to yourself “lookit, this whole dish is nothing but vegetables, so what does it matter if i leave the tomatoes out?” a seemingly innocuous decision on the surface, but 2 hours or whatever later when you’re done cooking, you open the oven to find a complete mess! just a pot full of baked vegetables, none of them congealed or somehow unified. what happened to your beloved ratatouille? so you take to google and find that actually the tomatoes are an essential ingredient of ratatouille, as they form a “sauce” of a certain kind that makes the whole thing work. and so a seemingly innocent decision has destroyed the very foundation of the established order with disturbing ramifications towards the whole. in this essay i will examine how martin luther’s 95 theses lead to protestants being more boring than catholics
Just a little taste of what’s going on at my workplace right now.
We have been fighting for a raise because a lot of people who work at Disney have to work 60+ hours a week just to get by.
What was their response? “Ok, everyone gets a bonus. $1000. But not all at once. $500 now and $500 at the end of the year.” (in case some people get fired or quit, so they don’t have to pay the full amount to those people).
Of course, we were like “No, that’s not what we said we wanted. We want a PERMANENT RAISE.”
So Disney was like OK, fine, whoever is NOT part of the union fighting for a raise gets the $1000 bonus 🙂
Meanwhile, we are still fighting for a raise…The company I work for sells aluminum and aluminum mixed metals. I want everyone to understand that running a business is expensive and the reason why raises don’t happen is because management holds onto money to keep the business running. Equipment repair is expensive because parts have to be made. If you’re needing to work over 60 hrs to make ends meet, you need to move where it’s cheaper to live or get a job where it’s cheaper to live.
Stop thinking that there’s all this money pouring in that the CEO and leading personnel are hoarding and paying the minimum to it’s employees. If you think I’m wrong, do some digging and pry about company expenses and the revenue from parks.
Ok, but here’s the thing: Disney keep raising it’s prices. On literally everything. Park tickets, resort stays, merchandise, parking, meal plans, and they are even going to start charging for people to have their cars parked at the resorts.
Not to mention, they obviously have money to throw around with all these expansions going on. They keep remodeling and renewing things that were fine before. This costs millions and millions of dollars.
If every Cast Member at Walt Disney World received a raise, it would still only be a fraction of the price that Disney is dishing out on all these renovations and expansions.
No cast member should be forced to work 60+ hours a week just to survive when they work for one of the wealthiest corporations in the world.
if you can’t afford to pay your workers a living wage, you can’t afford to run a business. you don’t have a right to be a boss. that is not a thing you are entitled to. if you fail, you fail. get over it.
reading this just reminds me that someone who worked at disney died homeless in their car
Her name was Yeweinishet “Weini” Mesfin & you can read about her here
“Running a business is expensive and the reason why raises don’t happen is because management holds onto money to keep the business running.”
Really? A hundred percent of the money goes into the business? Your managers aren’t paid more than you are?
I bet they are. I bet they’re paid a lot more than you. And I bet you work just as hard as they do.
Yet for some reason, they – the people you’ve trusted to handle the wages – have decided that they are worth more than you.
Huh! What a coincidence!
“Stop thinking that there’s all this money pouring in that the CEO and leading personnel are hoarding and paying the minimum to it’s employees.”
I understand that there’s an argument to be made about small businesses struggling to get by, but we’re talking about Disney, here.
It’s one of the wealthiest companies in the world. Their profits, and their CEO’s salary, are both astronomical.
They can pay their employees enough money to survive. Bob Iger could personally give them a raise out of his pocket, and it wouldn’t change his lifestyle at all.
If you don’t believe that a plutocratic conglomerate can afford to treat its employees like people…well, then I hope you’re a billionaire.
Anything less, and you’ve been conned by the system, my friend.
As a shareholder, I got the annual report last year that outlined the aftermath of Hurricane Irma. Walt Disney World lost roughly 100mil in profit. That means that WDW makes roughly 50 mil in profit a day. PROFIT mind you.
The $1k bonus? For 125,000 Cast means it costs disney $1,250,000.
That’s 2.5% of what Walt Disney World makes in a single day. Just WDW, not the entire Company.
Disney can pay Cast Members more. Iger needs to stop buying other Companies and pay his own employees first.
