Quark is a beauty, and that's the plain unvarnished truth!

Given productivity gains relative to a century ago, we should only need to work one day a week.

The headline is really misleading. She now works for Costco corporate doing marketing training. The typical store employee is still around $18/hour.

This just in: Corporate jobs pay more than public school teaching jobs. Film at eleven!

How TF am I mischaracterizing it? The teacher in this story got a pay bump by taking a marketing job with Costco corporate, not by working in the warehouse. The headline implies that she got a raise by working for her local Costco. That’s misleading.

My reading comprehension is fine. Do you understand the difference between the headline and the article?

To recap, my critique is that the headline obscures the real story – that she got a raise by getting a corporate job. “Works at Costco” clearly implies working at a store, not corporate.

**preferred **to split a much nicer apartment

That’s a valid tradeoff so long as that crappy studio is actually affordable. When even the studio is north of $2k/month, though…

Looks nice, but it needs more cat tax.

Cat tax – the obligatory photo(s) of your lil’ helper alongside the shots of your gorgeous patio!
