Some Costco History

Image

As the one with no kids, I was the one who was always asked (and expected) to stay late to meet a deadline (or whatever) while the co-workers with kids got to go home on time or even early. HR ain't your friend. Boy, ain't it the truth. After all, they're looking out for the company, not you. People care much less abou...
