She would also appreciate one of those delicious squeezy meat tubes with the weird pink chicken as long as you are already up, thank you. 😼

B-B-B-BONUS FIGHTER
Failing ethical consumption under capitalism, Muriel will settle for the implementation of systems that protect employees from hostile work environments and encourage integrity and accountability from creators and management alike.

Loud noises can make Nimona nervous. But a company that normalizes discussing its employees workloads and salary eases all of her anxiety. Equal pay for comparable work!

Studies have shown that being around dogs like CBWU pet, Luna, can be good for your health. Studies have ALSO shown that 401K employer matching can improve employee morale and retention, and provide better tax benefits to your company.

CBWU pet, Jubblet, is a kitten so we only need to feed her a small amount, but every year she'll grow a little bit bigger. For her to survive and be happy and healthy, her food quantity needs to grow bigger as well. Makes sense, right?

CBWU pet, Friendo almost coughed up a hairball trying to explain how vital and important it is for a workplace to have detailed documentation of how tasks and projects are expected to be completed.

Illyana, our next CBWU pet, says that when you don't feel encouraged, respected, and valued in the workplace, it can feel like you're the runt of the litter, and nobody wants to feel like that. 😿
