    Chronically underpaid, underinsured, overworked, subjected to abuse…

    They are all of these things but nobody cares, and the boss will fire you if you joke with customers about it.

    Joking about Mariah Carey being shit ain’t getting anyone fired. Not even Mariah Carey’s assistant … Probably

      That’s a fair point. I was 99.9 percent joking, anyway. People seem to be unfamiliar with dark humor, lately.

        I think it’s the fact that people will openly write the exact same words as you do, and they won’t be joking. It won’t be satire. And there is no way to tell the difference even if they did look at your username - it just means “Anonymous”

        Edit: See Poes Law. Guess I’m not first person to think about it.
