The world is full of people making difficult situations work for themselves. People should be sensible with their money, people shouldn't take too many risks if they don't know what the future's going to hold, people should be aware of what they're getting into-we've all either heard this a million times or been guilty of telling someone this at least once or twice in our lives. On one level, it's easy to adopt the finger-wagging pose of Jane's critics. Her critics pointed to the posts with Watergate-level intensity-see? She's lying!-and recounted their own hardships and time spent taking multiple jobs to survive as evidence of her supposed laziness. Jane was also forced to account for social media posts showing her eating seemingly nice food. "Turning this girl’s inability to work for what she wants into a conversation about poverty.and wage issues, it’s utter b-," a writer named Stefanie Williams opined in a widely circulated post on Business Insider. "The reason why you were/are in the predicament you are now is because you put yourself there," one respondent wrote. Several of her fellow millennials loudly declared that they were better than her. The phrase "entitled millennial" began circulating. The backlash to her piece was equally quick. It took just a couple of hours after Jane posted the letter to Medium for Yelp to fire her. She appealed to Stoppelman to remedy this situation. (She said she made $8.15 an hour after taxes.) She also wrote that many of her co-workers found themselves in similar positions. In it, she wrote about how Yelp wasn't paying her enough money to live in the Bay Area or to afford groceries. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go watch all of Fuller House.Last Friday, a 25-year-old woman named Talia Jane wrote an open letter to her employer, Yelp CEO Jeremy Stoppelman. But before I sign off to troll some teens in a Kardashian comments section, I do want to take some time to thank you ladies, because it's not easy to speak up, especially as a woman. I'm sure this article will earn both social-media backlash and praise before disappearing into the content ether, but the important takeaway is I'll finally know I have worth-which is gonna be huge for me.
Can I afford therapy if all the wedding hashtags get used up before I get married? My wedding vows are going to be 140 characters and Jennifer Lawrence–themed. Sometimes my legs hurt from jumping on all these bandwagons, which is problematic because I do not have the platinum Obamacare plan. coincidence?) Where does happiness really come from? Someone please help me.

(I will say, though, two weeks after settling down with a man, I did get a promotion.

Not that I even believe in soul mates! I'm a modern woman. My friends were like, "WTF," but I was like, "This is my journey!"Įven though I am a big fan of the Mindy Project and own an earmarked copy of Wild by Cheryl Strayed, I met this really nice man who works at a hedge fund through my aunt's co-worker's LinkedIn, and now we live together.

The Bachelor taught me that opportunity will fall into your lap with a little luck and serial-killer persistence, but watching all that TV has made me hate hard work! I am dumb! How do you write a résumé on your iPhone? Besides, I think everyone can learn from my story because it is a story about hard work: When I was 22, I didn't have a boyfriend.
