Bosses refuse to pay employee living wage, secretly write off multi-million dollar mansion as an office: 'They are going to pay the person after me over 15k LESS than I'm making'

Hypocrisy is never a good look. Most of us are hypocrites in some way or another, though. Maybe you say you really care about preserving the environment but you love an hour-long steaming shower. Maybe you tell someone you're breaking up with that you "don't want anything serious" and then dive headfirst into a long-term relationship with the next soul you meet. Maybe you say that you hate mainstream music but you secretly listen to "Espresso" every time you're in your car. We all do this kind of stuff. It's part of being human. We're full of contradictions and enigmas. We can't help it.

We can help, though, when our hypocrisies end up hurting other people. We can try our best to keep our word and treat others how we'd like to be treated. Especially if we're their boss and they're struggling. We should try everything we can to put our money where our mouths are.
