The worst one I'd say, would be the bonus structure in Domino's.

As expected, to keep the labour costs down, you keep the smallest amount of staff on, right? Well, Domino's takes this to the extreme. If you're not 100% necessary for even a second, you're sent home and not brought back in for the rest of the shift.

I was privy to the emails that managers sent between each other and the way they talked about employees was horrific.
For example, one "campaign" run by Domino's for a while was that if our store got more than a certain amount of sales (I think our store's target was $20k in one week), the manager would get £2000 and a Rolex. The term and conditions of this, was that the manager was NOT allowed to reward their employees in any way, if any of them even knew about it.

Also, if the store passed the bi-annual inspection, the manager got £500. 90% of the times, the managers would not reward the employees unless the reward scheme specifically stated that they had to.

This was why I quit, actually. I worked as an insider (making the pizzas) and apparently it's practically mandated by their labor quotas that under no circumstances do you have more than one of those there at a time. And since they never really properly trained me, I really wasn't equipped to handle the workload, physically speaking.

Pretty much. I barely got any hours because I was sent home if the manager could deal with the rush themselves. All in pursuit of that extra cash bonus.

Training in pizza places seems to be consistently awful. I've never been trained in any of the places I've worked at, I've basically had to rely on things that I've picked up throughout working in all of them.

I've actually been thinking of getting a tarantula, and oh my God is that gorgeous.

Apparently they're pretty aggressive, so maybe not the best for an absolute beginner like myself.

Wow, that is fascinating and sad.

I don't know whether to be scared or find this cute.

The Egyptians worshiped the scarab beetle because they believed the female could reproduce without a male after watching a baby scarab emerging from a ball of dung.

This is not true as how dung beetles work is that the male gathers dung together in a ball and the female mates with the male and lays her eggs in the dung ball

I don't like fantasy and realism overlapping, so I'm not a fan of this DLC.
I think it looks like fun, I'm always into quirky stuff like this that break expectations. I've been waiting for this DLC and finally it shall arrive, yay! Was only expecting one car variation though, but the more the merrier I guess!

Anyone heard of the Professor Layton Leak? It's about how on the official twitter he stated that he had been given an invitation for the smash bros championship and how he was forced to fight a possessed doll, Tiny Fighter, and Blue Robot Boy

At first it scared the **** out of me because I thought Tails Doll but then I realized Geno then I went back to normal

Usually when an animal is that brightly colored, it means "Don't **** with me. I will END you!" So that thing can stay in Brazil all it wants.

So I was on Google.....

Hey, sometimes those IKEA desk instructions are really hard to follow. Just be glad they didn't make a nuclear reactor.

Yes but that was back in 2009 and was admitted by the Twitter account (which was a fan account, not official) to have been said just for fun. Because people were losing their minds over the post so much that it made news on major gaming sites, they cleared things up about a week later, making a comment about people tend to overexcite themselves over nothing.

Just got infracted for this post.

Could someone please explain to me how this is spam? Because if it is, I should probably be banned by now. Twice.

Take it up with forum support, homie. This ain't the place for it.

Eh I don't really care. I'll take the warning. It doesn't mean anything unless I do something stupid 5 more times.

EDIT: Never mind didn't get an infraction. OK.

Yeah, unfortunately that was a fan account. Nothing official.
Still, he did guess 2/3 which is pretty good.

It's obviously fake though, Geno would be a HORRIBLE representative for Square Enix.

Honestly? Geno represents a tie between SE and Nintendo, like MM with Capcom. If we went by popular and most important to company, we'd have Leon Kennedy (RE is one of Capcom's highest selling and most popular IPs and Ryu is Smash-Banned by Sakurai) and Lightning.
