Adulting Is Hard! Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Needs A Vacation From Work

[Harpy Eagle]

Where are you from, lazy?

I am from the US and I take all the vacation and time off my company allows. Anyone that does not is a fucking moron.

Lazy slack-ass.

Whatever moron, there is more to life than working. But you are such a good little sheep that you have bought into the narrative your masters have sold you.

Some of us actually enjoy our jobs and feel personally invested in them.

On the other hand, my company doesn't actually give us a choice about taking time off. If you have over a certain amount of PTO accrued by December, you WILL take a freaking vacation and get some rest. No arguments.

What an awful company. You must work for Democrats.

Why is it awful to make people use their vacation time?

It has been shown time and time again that time away from work will increase your productive when you get back.

Americans are so stupid about this shit.

 

[Crixus]

Only in the US do people get mocked for taking vacation.

Do you never take time off work?

What work has this stupid twat done?

Quite a bit of work preparing to take a Congressional seat
She needs to hire a staff, arrange a move to DC, get her office ready

Yeah, that’s called work. Who the hell cares? No one forced her to ask for the job.

If you don't care a whole lot, then why are you reading this thread, or responding to it. You right wingers sure do have your shirt in big knots over the election of one woman from New York.

Why respond then? Maybe because it’s a message board where this kind of shit go’s on?

Within reason. Not many places let you take vacition most of the year. Congress has always done this and they aren’t to productive.

 

[Cecilie1200]

Boy, you Russian bots are obsessed with this woman. You must be TERRIFIED of her. What other point is there to the dozen of threads mocking and denigrating her?

Or it could be you're just attacking her because you're a misogynistic piece of shit who can't stand women seeking power and authority. Is that a problem for all you Russian assholes?

I'm actually of Welsh descent.

So is this the way we're going to play the game now, Dragon Lady? Anyone who points out what an idiot Che Barbie is...is a "misogynistic piece of shit"? Here's my take on THAT strategy! I don't think women need to be put on pedestals and treated with kid gloves if they're representing us in government. When a woman does something stupid she deserves to be called out on it. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez does stupid more than most do. Pretending she doesn't could turn into a full time job. Is that a problem for you?

hey - women demand equal treatment as men.

last i saw men are pretty crude with each other.

so which is it? treat women with respect, or equally as men treat men?

Name one male Congress critter who is being mocked, denigrated and treated in this fashion. There isn't one.

Name one US Senator who is mocked, denigrated, called "crazy", or generally treated like Elizabeth Warren. Name one white Congress Critter who is called "Low IQ", other than black female members of Congress.

The women aren't being treated "the same as" the men. Nobody calls male white members of Congress or the Senate "crazy", "low IQ", or "Pocohantas". Those slurs are reserved for non-white members or women.

Name one male Congress critter who makes a public ass of himself as routinely as Socialist Barbie. There isn't one.

We mock anyone and everyone in Congress who makes a fool of themselves. It's not OUR fault that she does it so much more often.

well these days to each side many on the "other" side make fools of themselves and "earn" the mocking.

i think these days we just love to mock and that's all there is to it.

Well, that's certainly true, but I do try to confine it to things that are ridiculous and silly by an objective measure.

I find the primarily-millennial obsession with publishing every single hiccup and belch one has to be inexplicable and worthy of derision. I also think that when one campaigns for and wins public office, one forfeits the right to hide behind "just a silly, immature kid" and becomes obligated to move to a higher level of mature, adult behavior. Sadly, far too many officeholders of all ages fail in this.

The company should not be making these decisions. If the company feels that the employee is not productive the company should fire the slacker.

I worked for one law firm that had mandatory vacation. After arguing I finally took the vacation used the time to find another job and never went back. I didn't even tell them I quit. They figured it out.

I like my job, but it is not the top priority in my life, not even close.

During my 20 years in the Corps I put my heart and soul into it and it was first too many times. I am too old for that now...I choose my current employer due to their view on the proverbial work-life-balance. Turned down a job for more money that would have meant way more hours.

Believe it or not, Mr. All-or-Nothing, there's a middle ground between "my job is just a paycheck; give me every second of leave time I can get" and "my job is the top priority in my life".

One of the reasons I love my employer is that they consider their employees people, not just human resources. They understand that we have lives and families. On the other hand, we all take less time off than we actually have available to us because we feel personal concern and investment in making sure the work gets done properly, which it won't if it's done shorthanded.

 

[Cecilie1200]

Perhaps she can use the word “vacation”.

Her generation has different phrases, happens with every generation. Quit being such an old fuddy duddy.

My kids are her age and they and their friends don’t talk stupid like her.

My youngest is her age and this is EXACTLY what they talk like. They are the hardest working and most enthusiastic people I know. My daughter and her husband have already launched one successful business with 5 full time employees, and plans to expand to 8 next year. All of her friends are starting businesses, and succeeding in ways one would have never guessed watching as teenagers.

My older two children are in her age group, and neither of them speak like her. In fact, they both sound remarkably like English teachers, even when they don't want to.

Then I would say that based upon the family members I have on FB that are that age, your children are in the minority.

Which is a damned shame for those other people, and society in general.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Your party lost 40 seats and your answer is obsessing with a Bronx Representative.
Please keep it up.

The pendulum swung back LIKE IT ALWAYS DOES.
Takes nothing away from the fact that morons in NY elected another Guam tipping over moron.

I don't remember you being so confident that the "pendulum would swing" before November.

Let me help you out...

Why all the Democrat excitement about winning the midterms?

I see the moron Rightwinger wanted to look like a fool too.

This was posted TWO MONTHS BEFORE THE ELECTION

You cherypicked.

You got schooled and are not man enough to admit it.

Pussy

 

[Cecilie1200]

She doesn't appear on TV because people are interested in most of what she does, either. She appears on TV because A) she assumes she's interesting, and B) she wants to try to MAKE people interested in what she's doing.

and either she is right or it is working as you people cannot stop talking about her.

Seems she has moved into your head...rent free.

Learn the difference between "interesting" and "hilarious".

you are a fool if you do not take paid vacation time, that is like leaving your change when you go shopping.

people in this country have been tricked into thinking that working more equals working harder.

I am sure that firm was damn happy you left.

Either way you people cannot stop talking about her...thus she is winning.

If we can learn anything from Trump, any attention is good attention.

Na, not a big deal. every generation thinks this about the generation replacing them.

Perhaps if you were better at your job you could take the time off afforded you.

Just a thought.

No, I work for a small business owned by an Orthodox Jew in Israel. He is a very nice man, and very concerned about his employees as people. He has built a good team, and he doesn't want to see any of us burn out because we don't take time to step away and rest once in a while. So yeah, if you don't bring up the subject of a vacation, your supervisors are going to gently suggest that you should schedule a little time to take the kids to Disneyland or something.

I doubt that they were happy. I was key in several cases.

No it is not like leaving your change after a purchase. Just pay for the unused days. Instead of a week off, just pay for the week or two.

non-team players can always easily be replaced.

 

[Cecilie1200]

I raised them to be honest.

Then they are just what we need in Congress.

Politics is a group activity; honest people need not apply.
If they do apply, they’re in for a shock.
My son has been involved with both parties and decided to opt out of both.

It is a shame this is what our country has come to, honest need not apply.

But we have no one to blame but ourselves. once we made party more important than country it was bound to happen,.

Once we made being comforted more important than hearing the truth, it was bound to happen.

As a fan of Donald Trump, would you even know the truth if you heard it. I've seen no evidence that you aren't living in some fantasy bubble where everything Trump is pure and true. Here you sit on a message board insulting and denigrating a young woman who has already accomplished more in her short life, that you have in your lifetime.

When you do that, you don't diminish her, you diminish yourself. Lies, anger and hate is where the right lives right now.

I stopped reading at "Donald Trump", since it's like a neon sign that everything afterwards will be mindless, ignorant, partisan twaddle.

I don't disdain you because I'm a "fan of Donald Trump". I disdain you because as ignorant and annoying as I think Donald Trump is, you are so very, very much more so.

Come back to me when you can deal with my actual words and positions, rather than "There is only my side and TRRUUUUMMMMMPPPP!!!!"

Dumbass.

That's why I just didn't come back. Didn't bother calling and telling them I quit. I just found something else.

When Congress is not in session, it does not mean they are on vacation

Congressmen return to their home district, meet with staff, meet with constituents
