[@coreyphoenix9356]

I’ll never get why jobs expect us to think about the “long haul” and how they want to hear that we will be with them forever, yet discriminate when women become pregnant and need a simple 4 months off when having a baby. Like did you never expect your employee to have children during their lifetime devoting themselves to your company?! A baby doesn’t define your work ethic and being pregnant shouldn’t automatically disqualify you from a job position. Ridiculous!

[@potato1084]

Wait what country is this?? In mine it’s illegal to discriminate against a pregnant woman and they can take between 3-12 months off paid (but it (salary) decreases at the 12 month point). Workplaces all have to follow this rule.

[@Stressed_skunk]

What 4 months !!! Im currently pregnant and I get a whole year off and 6 weeks paid holidays before I go on maternity leave wow I’m actually shocked 😮

[@skyline_decay]

That story of the pregnant woman reminded me of sexism in jobs too, like it sounded like gaslighting, I'm not going to interview her because it's too stressful for her...like???? You're just assuming and telling her how she feels? And was going to deny her the opportunity but frame it like it's a good thing for her?? And giving her the job under that pretense of OH this is bad for you but we'll be nice and generous and give it to you is totally emotional manipulation. Like excuse me sir if she didn't want or need the job she wouldn't be applying. This totally sounded like "I was planning on discriminating against her for being pregnant by not even giving her a chance but then she told me she needed the job so I took pity and hired her". She shouldn't have even needed a sob story or an explanation of why she needs a job!! Sorry lol it all just made me angry 😠

[@katek.4692]

@@Zimzum93 Mmm, I wouldn't be so sure about that. I've received a free bakery/pastry item from Starbucks before, and not because I did anything similar to what the first guy described *[not that I wasn't friendly, lol; my friendliness, however, was not what caused me to get the free item is all I'm saying],* but because of some unknown reason where the cashier merely asked if I would like whatever it was, not to mention that I have not only had moments like that occur quite a bit throughout my life, but I, furthermore, have seen or heard of this occurring with several other people that I know, so I do not exactly understand why so many people consider these “stories” to be “so unbelievable” or automatically assume that they are “made up,” entirely, lol. I understand having a level of skepticism not only due to the particular way that these people describe these interactions but also that they are even putting it out there for everyone to see in the first place, which can come across as virtue-signaling, “look how decent I am,” and so on, to some extent or another, but still. Even with the whole sentiment of, “no lady in a Starbucks drive-thru is going to say the word crabby,” teenager, in general, or “gay teenager,” as Sarah said, and how both Brittany and Sarah find that “so hard to believe,” regardless of whether it was a teenager at the drive-thru window or not, and thinking that the dude made up the entire exchange, is something so interesting to me, lol. I mean, for starters, the guy didn't clarify the age of the Starbucks employee precisely, outside of describing her as “a lady” and “the woman,” which are not keywords that my mind would immediately or initially associate with depicting a teenage girl-I can at least understand why someone would envision a teenager being the one working the window at Starbucks since there are many who do. Regardless, however, not only are there many “older” individuals working the line at Starbucks or just working at Starbucks, in general, and many of which I can easily imagine using the word “crabby,” seeing as despite it being something that a lot of the older generations use, the word itself is not one used by just “older” people explicitly, but it is, furthermore, not something that anyone should use as some “tell-tale sign,” so to speak, that ole dude made up the interaction, at least not from a rational standpoint, lol. Is there a possibility that the first guy, or any of these people, for that matter, made all of these situations and interactions up to cast themselves in a positive light? *Of course.* However, none of the things that Brittany and Sarah mentioned or highlighted as being indicators for them that these things didn’t happen are, in reality, anything that is legitimately “unheard of,” “unbelievable,” “hard to imagine,” etc., etc. I'm not, in any fathomable way, saying any of this to take a jab at Brittany and Sarah, make fun of them, or anything remotely similar, much less negative/malicious, in nature, by the way. Brittany and Sarah, without a doubt, are far from the only ones on KZbin or Social Media who cover things like this and who react this way, as far as having an immediate level of skepticism or directly categorizing the situations as “that didn't happen,” including the details that a lot of people consider to be the reasons as to why they don't think that these exchanges or circumstances occurred-this type of reaction is quite common nowadays. Now, perhaps there is an aspect from which this particular reaction and immediate doubt that people have that potentially derive from a lack of life experience on a broad scale and not meeting, getting to know, and understanding a significant and vast amount of different types of people of all different ages, backgrounds, etc., which could very much possibly fuel why it is that someone finds specific details “so unbelievable,” when realistically, they are not at all-I'm not sure entirely. Still, I can't help but find it somewhat intriguing and also slightly perplexing that so many people will collectively consider something like the Starbucks interaction that the dude expressed to be something that “obviously didn't happen,” especially when you're someone who has first-hand experiences with that exact thing or things relatively similar occurring to them or others they know, lol.

I work at a credit union and NEVER once have I told someone "I love when you come in everyday" I have creepy old men that come in everyday and tell me they love when they get me. Like I just work here dude

[@arielmarchand5551]

Went to a french canadian college, all our teachers kept pestering us to make a linkedin profile and at my first job interview the dude told me "yeah that's useless" LOL BTW, "Aubergine" is eggplant in french (it's also the name of a color -The More You Know-)

[@haileyread4402]

[@rileyfitzgerald5155]

every monday is when i have to drive back home from my boyfriends and organize my life for the week and this podcast is the ONLY reason why I'm able to do anything on mondays

[@ryn_a_boo7670]

I love podcasters where they make themselves laugh. You can tell its going to be good when they tell jokes for themselves. Yall are addicting to watch

[@noname9482]

Literally how did y'all upload just as I got on lunch break??? Can't wait to see this week's episode!

[@slayrae872]

if the “me and my friend were walking down the street when the DOWN WITH CIS bus came and beat us up” guy on tumblr had a professional career as a recruiter, he’d be that guy who almost shit on his daughter for getting an A

Sarah simply just SAYING she stans loona (to whatever extent) just made me so happy🥲

[@KatyTheLimitless]

This podcast is the only thing that keeps me from keying my ex's new girlfriends car. Thank you for keeping crime off the streets.

[@cherubcheeked]

hearing sarah say stan loona filled me with a feeling i can’t describe. all i know is that it’s a good feeling

[@kaycem]

"the masculine urge to network" took me tf out 😂😂😂 please do more like this

[@thexian4102]

This gives me the same comfort feeling that Jenna marbles gave me and since we've lost her im even more grateful for Sarah and Brittany

[@theexperience94]

i have an accounting test today that i’m so unbelievably terrified for and seeing you guys post made me laugh and happy on such a scary day :’)

[@jhart1127]

Good luck Queen! We stan accounting 👑🤞

[@sophiel2994]

Good luck Kelly!

[@TheGinaChan]

When you both started talking about hiring someone based on appearance... Short story time: 2016 I was trying to get a job. Had an interview with a Gate station. I was excited and went on my bicycle because that was my means of travel at the time. During the interview I was never taken into an office as I expected. Instead, the man who interviewed me walked me around the store asking me questions. Most of them were about how I might be qualified for the job. But a few of them were strange. He had asked me directly if I was gay. I answered. (I am) He then said that I would get along with a few of the girls that worked there. He later asked me if I was transgender. I want to remind you that this is an interview for a job. I did not answer the last question and walked out. Unfortunately, all of this is true, and I am still sad I couldn't land a job around that time in my life but things happen. I made it in the end.

[@doandroidsdreamofelectrics8090]

I love the contrasting energies in the room. Sarah with her travel water bottle and red bull. Then we have Brittany with her Chick-fil-A soft drink cup with a tipped over water bottle

[@junosbitch]

Babe, wake up. New Violating Community Guidelines just released

[@caliwagg1898]

Loved the one guy’s fan fiction about controlling what his employees ate and did outside of work. As if they’d have the time or energy to do any of it because he absolutely has no idea what a healthy work/life balance is.

[@cassandarthedestroyer1800]

The gross feeling of someone hitting on you on LinkedIn!!!

[@lenablack4264]

These podcasts have been helping me during low mental health days so much, thank you

[@barmhjertige1]

I love this podcast. It’s 100% my comfort show. The laughs I’ve had during this hour has fixed all of the problems I’ve ever had in my life #LiveLaughLove #Peanutbutter #ProblemSolvers The only problem is that it SHOULD BE LONGER. I wish I could listen to this for five hours straight.

[@laurenkoehler1017]

" the masculine urge to network" IM DEAD

[@chelseaking1584]

i am once again asking y'all to do an episode on fanfiction!!! you could talk about after and twilight and how fanfic has turned into bigger things, talk about bad/funny fanfic, and talk about how fanfic can alter relationship expectations from a young age :)

[@sarahschauer3764]

We might’ve …

[@chelseaking1584]

@@sarahschauer3764 oh HELL yes i’m so excited

[@deannavan8710]

the linkedin posts have the same energy as "my 1 1/2 year old turned to me and said mommy why are people so mean in this world? if we were all nice to each other we would have world peace" on facebook

[@wtfaflyingnyancat]

Thank god I work from home right now, I was laughing hysterically through most of this. It's like the old-school fake tumblr posts but vehemently anti-poor people

[@reneetheearthbuzz9606]

The amount of times I've seen the stupid 'celebrate the wins' story... the reposting on LinkedIn and claiming it as their own story is RIFE

[@jayjustinbasil7221]

This is the best episode of yours imo. I come back to listen to it like every other week. I know every joke and it still cracks me up.

[@minimissmae]

"Please listen to our podcast more" this my favorite podcast to fuck up my eyeliner while high doing my makeup. i'm high and this is like my last two brain cells trying to grapple having to go onto LinkedIn desperate for a job and then the slow realization that I was interviewing for a pyramid scheme on LinkedIn. Thanks xoxoxoxox maybe i won't get my identity stolen xoxox 🙈

[@lynsss__8928]

I fell out the same way Brittany did at ‘the masculine urge to network’😭😭

[@mrsmunoz8639]

I mistakenly listened to this at the gym and was laughing audibly for an hour 😭

[@auroreis2308]

The blocks of text in latin on CVs are mostly just placeholders. The "lorem ipsum" text is literally gibberish

[@rayeguns1566]

I've been listening to VCG on repeat for background noise these last few weeks. You guys are great company. Thanks for making Mondays less shitty.

[@maddiezapss]

The stories give me "And then everyone on the bus clapped" energy 😂

[@strawberryboymyg2503]

43:04 “To whom it may suck off” sanji would write that LMAOOO

[@isavanderdrift4957]

all of these have the energy of that tumblr post with the person who said they got yelled at at starbucks for being ace after ordering milk

[@katiehaase8520]

The amount of old men that have messaged me on LinkedIn asking way too many personal questions is honestly annoying. Now I never use the platform anymore

[@saras2124]

It’s actually unsafe how funny you two are. I shouldn’t listen to this pod while I’m home alone I am choking on my laughter

[@tylerjenkins5393]

I’m begging for an episode on Facebook Grandparents!! You two make Monday’s something to look forward to.

[@jarah18]

Monday is the BEST day for these podcasts bc it makes the whole week better

[@JuniperArcher]

"If you're driving, pull over" is already my favorite reoccurring joke on this show
