'She didn't actually quit': CEO fires assistant after she spends $2k on fake farewell party with company funds

There's something universally awkward about office parties—whether it's the forced mingling, the questionable food choices, or that one coworker who takes "open bar" a little too literally. Most of us just try to blend into the crowd, avoid making eye contact with our managers, and hope the night ends without too many cringe-worthy moments. But for one unfortunate team, a party to celebrate an employee's resignation was nothing more than a "social experiment."

It's one thing to make a grand exit when you're moving on to bigger things, but this employee decided to throw herself a farewell bash complete with company-funded catering, decorations, and a custom cake... all while the CEO was on out of the office. The CEO returned from a conference to find her assistant had announced her departure in a company-wide email and threw a party on the company's dime, just to admit she was never really leaving in the first place.

کاپ ۲۹: آیا کشورهای ثروتمند حاضرند پول بیشتری برای مبارزه با تغییرات اقلیمی پرداخت کنند؟

در سال ۲۰۰۹، کشورهای توسعه‌یافته توافق کردند که سالانه ۱۰۰ میلیارد دلار به کشورها فقیرتر کمک کنند تا این کشورها بتوانند با تغییرات اقلیمی مبارزه کرده و برای عواقب ناشی از آن آماده شوند. ۱۵ سال بعد از رسیدن به این توافق، دمای هوای کره زمین بالاتر رفته است. تولید گازهای گلخانه‌های هم افزایش پیداکرده است و حالا برای کنترل عواقب تغییرات اقلیمی به تریلیون ها دلار نیاز است.

Travel Blogging Turns 20 Today

Filed under: ,

HP Virtual Museum
Today marks the 20th anniversary of what's believed to be the first travel blog post. So happy birthday to us, and maybe you too!

In honor of the occasion, travel bloggers worldwide are raising a glass (ok, they were probably doing that anyway), Jeff Greenwald, the author of that first travel blog post, uploaded from the tourism bureau in Oaxaca, Mexico, reflected back on the experience for "Wired."

A recently-released program called Mosaic was revolutionizing what might be possible on the World Wide Web. "What we hope you'll do," the editor [at O'Reilly Media] said, "is write columns for us - from the road. We'll publish them live, on the GNN [Global Network Navigator, O'Reilly's website], where people can read them as you travel." The Travelers' Center, he told me, would include a feature that sounded miraculous: A map would be displayed on their website, with dots showing the locations from where I'd sent back posts. People would simply click on those dots - and see the story I'd written from that location!

Travel tip: If you're trying to smuggle cash into Panama, start using the train.
