Well, it is public knowledge that layoffs and furloughs are happening, so sadly, you're not wrong.
And they somehow enticed Kelly Ortberg out of retirement to take over as CEO. There's the hella juicy c-suite compensation package you talked about. He was already riding golden after he maneuvered that Rockwell Collins sale/merger/whatever.
Like many others on here, only to search for some specific information. And never logged in to an account anymore.
I miss sports game threads. The Lemmy communities are just not taking off enough for me. I am tempted to open up a reddit account for talking shit in game threads only.
For a short time I had the pleasure of working with a small site that treated the union as a partner and not an adversary. On the company side, it was an EH&S manager, not even the EH&S lead, who led annual negotiations with the union. There were disagreements and compromises, but both sides walked away every year feeling benefitted and ready to collaborate for another year.
Well, Corporate can do better than that. They sent in HR to run things this year. Everything is an aggressive conflict. EH&S dude was immediately recruited to a company down the road and left. Cue HR's surprised Pikachu face when all goodwill with the union disappeared overnight and the union is just as ready to play hardball.
I am glad I got to see one example of a company and union working together for mutual benefit. I think there will be vanishingly few situations like this throughout the rest of my career
Nothing substantial, just parroting propaganda. Union workers are lazy. Unions are anti free market. Unions get in the way of businesses being profitable, which would in turn benefit employees.
I work in a manufacturing facility where the assemblers, mechanics, machinists, and technicians, are unionized. My white collar, not unionized colleagues simultaneously express jealousy about the benefits the union members get while also saying they shouldn't exist while also complaining their own salaries are too low and not keeping up with inflation.
My dudes, this is what unions are for. If I worked one of the covered jobs, I would join the union in a heartbeat.
Join them, don't try to tear them down.
Carol Burnett had an interview show back in the day. She was good at it, pulling out great stories from her interviewees with empathy.
Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee was an interesting premise but I never cared for the actual result as much as some people did. I think I just didn't like Jerry Seinfeld, even before he started whining about how out of touch he is with anyone under 30.
Seth Meyer's day drinking with celebrities bits. His one with Rihanna stands out against the others.
When I became financially and legally responsible for my own choices.
Lactose-free milk is easy enough to find, but cream is harder to find and is much more expensive here when it is available. Partner also has a preference for plant-based for other reasons, so it's simplest to keep that on hand so any cooking and baking results in something we can both eat.
He was creepin' on other customers. When he was asked to tone it down, especially when it came to talking to minors, he got mad and started yelling and shoving chairs.
A victim could also stay in their house, never go outside, never talk to anyone to further limit a stalker's access. But they shouldn't have to let a stalker turn their life into an isolated prison.
Blocking people from viewing their account was one tool that was available, and now it's not. People are saying they still want access to that tool and are unhappy it was taken away.
Not sure you're intending to but you're putting a lot of onus on the victim to address the behavior of bad actors.
Women don't want to deal with men who would sexually assault them? Stop wearing "provocative" clothes and going to bars.
Kid doesn't want to get bullied at school? Stop being "weird".
Don't want to be stalked? Stay away from public forums.
These are not solutions, these are ways to put responsibility for bad crimes onto the victims instead of the perpetrators.
This morning coffee is so good. Lactose-intolerant partner is gone for a week so I bought real cream to go into it. I don't mind the plant-based stuff at all, the occasional real cream is all the better.
Define cheating. I doubt many CEOs would consider anything they've done to get to the position they are as "cheating".
To "cheat", one must break the rules. And the rules have been designed to not only allow for but encourage current behavior.
