Right, that's why they need to be terminated regardless of their specific style of employment.

This is driver flexibility. They choose the amount of deliveries they take. The drivers do this because they want more money. People generally courier as an in-between job, like construction laborer, and they appreciate the ability to ear

It's getting buried because people downvote what they can't argue. Amazon isn't doing anything different than any other company, or anything that has been a problem before now. Unionists are lying, conflating contractors and

You don't know, they might be of the opinion that a good life dedicated to Jesus may be enough, regardless of how you dress it up. But, from outside, they appear to be at least half right. The catholic church seems to be less CHRIST i

That driver was a contractor, deciding to pee in his own bottle. He chose to take more packages than he could deliver and is rushing to cut corners. As well as conspicuously dumping piss outside customer houses he probably speeds through sc

by Rule35 6y ago
Amazon's drivers are contractors if anyone is pushing them to pee in bottles, it's themselves. So there's no actual answer to this issue. Are they not being paid enough, such that they can't pee, or are they making an re

Says a person who presumably never met RMS, or saw his "behavior".
104.
by Rule35 6y ago
The EFF is a lobbying organization, RMS is an actual person. Also, there should be a higher bar for them because they're a faceless organization attacking RMS. If RMS attacked them, as individuals, I might agree to some equivalency.

True. They can burn a lot of credibility in a single unwarranted witch-hunt against a named individual.

That can't happen. When a tool like this gets complicated enough to fully specify a complex problem it becomes unusable by the semi-technical people it was made for. Best Figma knows their strength and stays with it, leaving the extens

Right, so they also don't have the capability of writing the spec. Knowing that they should just hand it all off.

by Rule35 6y ago
Right. But the client should never come up with the detailed spec. If they know what needs to be done it'd literally be faster for them to code it themselves. They should never produce more than a page or two of specs, outside of the c

Not unreasonably. Like it or not, at else being equal someone with more current experience is probably the better employee. There's this feeling that employers should just take the next person who fits some quota because to pick and ch
