    People working in HR or anything to do with career support do absolutely no work whatsoever.
    I must say that to my sister-in-law who works in HR for a multinational and doesn't get home until 10pm most nights.

    People who make wild allegations about HR are angry that they didn't get the job/promotion.

    Why promote someone or pay them more when they are willing to do it for free - I don't understand why more people don't realise this. Do what you're paid to do and go home.

    A guy I know worked voluntarily for a company for six months and got a full time, permanent job out of it in the end.

    A girl I know went well above the call of duty doing extra work on placement and was the only one to be taken on the following year.

    Do they still continue to work for free?

    If you're in employment and voluntarily work extra hours without payment it will quickly be expected of you. No employer is going to promote, or give a payrise, to someone who is already doing the job for lower status or pay.

    Work to live, not live to work. I've never been unemployed, I do what's expected of me and am efficient. If they want more they can pay me for it.

    Everyone thinks their wedding is special and unique.

    Having spend years as a barman and working 2 of these every week from May to September they are all a blur.

    I can't recall a single one that stood out in any special way.

    When you're 18, you're absolutely certain that you know it all.

    When you're 25 you ponder the fact that you may not have known it all when you were 18, but dammit, you do now.

    When you're 30 you accept that maybe, just maybe, there just might be more to learn than that which you learned up until you were 30.

    When you're 40 you're too busy grinding out a life to think about what you did and didn't know in the last 20 years or so.

    When you're 50 an awareness of self and life has gradually subsumed your ego and you realise that there's possibly more to learn.

    When you're 60 you say to yourself "jaysus, I knew nothing over the last 40 years or so."

    When you're 70 you think to yourself " hehe, life is a constant learning curve and only when I'm on my death-bed will I have finally learned all there is to learn - all that I've been allowed to learn, there's probably more."

    When you're 80 you finally stop 'pondering', 'thinking', 'surmising' and so on. You've learned one major thing and you know you're absolutely right: " I knew f*ck-all all my life and I still know f*ck-all."

    You could promise infinite money and youd still be told no. very quickly.

    Speaking from the viewpoint of someone who's not been offered €10,000,000,000.
    Likewise the fight or flight reaction when faced with a man with a knife.

    Untill it happens you cannot say with any credulity that you 100% categorically wouldn't consider it.

    For the record i'd like to say i'd say no, i like my family, it's a nice tight-knit group, etc, but that's a lot of zeroes......

    I know its fairly light hearted but you are proper retarded if you think anyone would kill their family to be a billionaire. I can live without a yaght, owning some football team, I couldn't live knowing I killed my family for some money. The beatles said it best, money can't buy me love.

    It's not what you know, it's who you know.

    People don't give a shít about what you think of them so why should you give one about what they think of you.

    I know you'd say "you monster, i'd never even consider it", but when it comes down to it, i'm not sure many people could say no to that kind of money.

    Add enough zeroes and yes, everything can be bought.

    I don't think so.
    I'd kill plenty of people for free, but I wouldn't kill anyone for money and I certainly wouldn't harm my family for money, no matter how many zeroes there were.
    I've already got plenty of zeroes in my bank accounts anyway, it's just their location relative to the decimal point that needs changing. The zeroes themselves are absolutely fine.:D

    That youth is indeed wasted on the young.

    That in spite of feminism, women remain hardest on each other.

    That the more attractive you are, the harder things will be -peers pick on you as a teen, men think you think you're out of their league, women think you think you're above them...when neither is true.

    That the longest life is short and that nobody will ever love you as much as your parents do.
