Do you wear cargo shorts or Ugg boots? Are you into Disney anything? Do you post memes like “Live, Laugh, Love” or “Girl Boss”? How about spraying on Axe deodorant? Sound familiar? Then welcome to Cheugyland! If you’re 25-40 years old (Millennial) or 24 and younger (Gen Z), Cheugy is a thing. But everyone can […]
Imagine if your boss gave you a lie-detector test and the first question you were asked is, “Have you been putting in a full 40 hours a week during the pandemic while working at home?” How would you answer the question, assuming you didn’t want the polygraph machine to show your boss you were […]
