"How was your weekend" is not the same as spending a couple hours on a non-work related website. This is not a union/organization issue. This is a very simple case of employees goofing off on the clock and being surprised the

Does the employee handbook/contract/whatever say it's ok? Or is it just done? There is no reality where any employer willfully enabled employees to literally not do work while being paid to work. This is a silly discussion to

You are misinformed. The NLRB does not allow you to use company time and company property to do non-company things. You can use your own break time to discuss salaries. There is nothing a company can do to prohibit that. It's really th

Redirecting, forwarding, copying and other email rules being set by system administrators is normal. "Heinous" is grossly disingenuous.

by Alupis 2y ago
So what if it does? You are not prohibiting discussing of salaries - you are prohibiting discussing of salaries while using company property and company time. There is no problem here.

by Alupis 2y ago
Discussing salary using company property (your provided email address and provided computer) on company time is not guaranteed nor protected. You can discuss anything you want on your time using your own property.

As an aside, I see we've re-invented Twitter-style blog posts - but did anyone stop and ask why? This format is so tedious to read - one sentence fragment at a time. It's like reading someone's subconscious inner-dialog showe

You might be interested in looking at the Squirrel library for Gleam[1]. It kind of reverses the SQL problem in a very nice, elegant way I've found. It gets rid of some of the issues you are bringing up, which are quite valid. [1] htt

I was speaking to the ORM situation, or lack-thereof the parent seemed to be expressing. Regarding macros - Gleam has stated they are interested in adding metaprogramming, but it's not a huge priority because of the goals of the langua

This is the sentiment many have when transitioning from OOP -> FP paradigms. That's not to say ORM's don't exist in FP, but they are not nearly as common because their concept doesn't directly translate into what you

On the contrary, it's a great first BEAM language to learn because of it's simplicity - both in terms of the grammar as well as it's tooling/compiler. For me personally, the Javascript target is the least interesting bit
