We’re expected to continue working when it’s 90 F and 100% humidity indoors. Dude our paper is so soggy I punch holes in it when I try to write. I am straight up not having a good time.

girl you gonna die go home

We’re at the point they don’t even care when the customers that can sue them get fucking KTFO.
When I was in undergrad I had a professor constantly grimly joke that OSHA was just a recommendation, that if they could they’d make workers roast inside the heat of the core of the sun.
