When I worked at JCPenny I told HR and the store manager that I was getting married ima. Few months and needed time off. I put in a formal request and followed up every other week. HR said they’d take care of it.
2 weeks before the wedding the schedule comes out
Companies will flat-out refuse to approve annual leave for you to attend your own wedding. They don't care.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The email chain is labeled "FICTIONAL EMAIL DRAMA" in the images. Employers may reschedule specific annual leave for operational reasons but must grant entitled time off, with many policies accommodating weddings.

This is the thing. I want to see what a 10-2 Memphis, 11-1 New Mexico, and 11-1 Boise State can do against the likes of Tennessee, Houston, and USC. Maybe they’d get blown out, but they’re more deserving of having a shot than this year’s version of Ohio State.

I worked until 2 days before my rehearsal dinner. After my shift that evening I went into my manager’s office and quit on the spot. She tried to convince me not to, I told her why. And she just looked at me and said “Fair Enough”.

Hawley is calling this as, by my last count, *6* Christian clergy and seminary grads are about to enter Congress as Democrats — and that's in addition to the two clergy already there (Cleaver and Warnock) and at least two additional div school grads (Coons and Landsman).
Hi I’m Josh Hawley, I don’t like that the people spoke and my party lost control of the House and Senate. Please eat lunch a little later (or earlier) than usual in the most performative way possible
🚨What happened last Tuesday was shocking and historic. It calls for a historic response. Christians need to gather and seek the Lord. I’m going to host a time of fasting and prayer for the nation on Tuesday, December 15 from 12 to 1 at the Capitol. Meet me there!

This is:
A. Hilarious
B. Disingenuous because they ran a terrible sneak almost as if they did it terribly on purpose.
Chiefs HC Andy Reid on the QB sneak w/ Justin Fields: "You guys asked for it. We gave it to you. It didn't work. How do you feel? ... Those are hard to practice. We've got to make sure we get the snap down..."

This isn’t new. Chappelle, Chris Rock, Kevin Hart, Amy Schumer, Chelsea Handler, Dane Cook, Daniel Tosh, the list goes on and on of comedians that after they hit it BIG their material goes downhill. It’s been happening for at least 20 years now if not longer.
fun new thing where all the greatest comics in the world got so big they didn’t have to be good anymore

People are saying “The NFL needs to fix this”.
This is a short term issue that ultimately gets solved by the NCAA eligibility rules. Their eligibility will run out eventually, they’ll still go to the NFL, just at 23/24 instead of 21/22.
It’s an issue today, but not in 4 years.
Sam Darnold says a Seahawks rookie made $800,000 in NIL before entering the NFL and getting just a $20,000 signing bonus, and says some rookies are now arriving in the NFL having already made more money in college than they’re getting to start their professional careers
“We had our first little rookie show right before we ended minicamp. We all went to dinner and had a rookie show, and you get guys saying their name, school, signing bonus.”
“We had guys saying their name, school, signing bonus, and what they made in NIL.”
“One of the kids will be like, ‘My name’s D, went here, got a $20,000 signing bonus.’ And we’re like, ‘NIL? NIL?’ And he’s like, ‘$800,000 NIL.’”
“And you’re like, ‘Ain’t that nice? I’m taking a pay cut to play in the league.’ That is insane. Your dream is going to cost you. Literally cost you.”
“I was like, ‘Dude, I would do the same thing.’ Some of these kids, I would try to play seven or eight years in college. It is wild.”
