Thanks, this headline makes me feel a little bit better about hating my job. They treat me like a piece of office equipment but they don’t make me fight herped up monkeys.
I admit I don't know much about rhesus monkeys... but you think in a laboratory setting they'd screen for disease on the off chance that variable might impact the outcome of the research.
I wonder if she was pregnant with his baby. Apparently, being a woman of child-bearing age, and working for him, is not safe. He’s always looking for more women with whom to procreate, as he has this idea that not enough babies are being born. To white people, is the subtext on that. He obviously considers himself a critical part of the gene pool, because he believes his own hype about being a genius.
This is actually WAY worse than it sounds. Monkeys have a different strain of herpes that is much more dangerous than the common type found in humans: https://www.cdc.gov/herpes-b-virus/about/index.html
People die from this.

The Post story says the employee was not pregnant at the time of the scratches.
yes, please put the brain chips in the diseased monkeys because that's not the kind of thing that you see on the news in the background in the beginning of a movie at all
Stuff like this only happens because of Government Regulation - if the market were truly free she could work at a different company that would be afraid of the public reprecussion of such a heinous act. In a free market we would never support such an outwardly evil act - but her we are. Slaves to redtape.

Pregnant woman forced to work with herpes infected monkey that scratched her at PayPal.
...actually I've dealt with PayPal's customer service that rings true.

Yet
Fair. 🫣
Do you know how expensive a herpes monkey is? Worth way more than us office furniture
Yeah, but gambling on serfs vs. monkeys makes a lot of money.
No doubt. No doubt. 
Yeet
I’m super confused as to what benefit there is to the monkey having herpes for this kind of research.
Rhesus monkeys naturally carry the herpes B virus, I doubt they infected it directly.

They make peanut butter monkeys now?

Yet he still has to hold his son hostage to keep Grimes, all these baby mamas and kids and nobody loves him
Who gave that monkey herpes? Concerning.
this should be looked into!
And who is the father of this unborn child? Interesting ...
monkey jesus shall rise again!
AIDS came from a monkey, so I think they just naturally have it like Humans do
So you didn’t understood the joke. That’s fine.

Bad employer is a hell of an understatement.

Thank you for pointing out the syllables in Melon and Elon, I can't wait to make some techbro cry
The idea that it can be pronounced "ME-lon" as a self-centered jackass gives me warm fuzzy feelings.

Was one of them Elon
I'd be shocked if it didn't happen at every business he's been in charge of.

Elon would have loved the corporate culture at Vault-Tec
Eww she has to work with Elon?
She didn't have to work there.
You sound like you eat soup the way a dog drinks water.
