What is the point of numbers if there is no unity? Since Covid, there are decent successes in forming unions and collective bargaining, but it is nowhere enough. How many IT workers (as an example) have unionized or even have positive opini

I'd hate being interviewed by a bot. Talking to these stupid automated answering machines is bad enough. That said, the other side of the equation is also bad, for employers. I was asked to conduct some interviews recently. I asked the

I haven't done it, so I don't have any data to back it up. I suppose it works, at least short term, that is why so many websites, video creators, copywriters, email newsletter writers etc use it? Negative, cheesy, clickbait, rage

How is it fair to compare buying a house to buying a TV? One costs 500$ and the other costs 500k plus ongoing costs like repairs and taxes. Not saying you’re wrong, just that the comparison isn’t apt

This is usually the case with onerous rules and regulations. Actual criminals have the means and motivation to work around any law. There will be a percentage of dumb/small criminals who will get caught, and the time and effort spent

This is depressing. What is "trans agenda" and why do they think it affects them? Do they even know a single trans person in real life, assuming that is what they are scared of? I honestly do not understand any of this at all.

This might still be appealing to young people, especially those who do not like the noise/pollution of big cities and can't afford them?

Fujistu is a business - they're gonna lie and do all kinds of shady things to maximize profits, avoid litigation etc. Nobody expects a big business to be ethical or even do only legal things at this point. It is the prosecutors conduct

Maybe everyone does it at some level, but not everyone works in a job that has the potential to wreck other people's lives and freedoms. There should be a higher standard for doctors, prosecutors, cops, judges etc than someone writing

Why does it not make sense? If I was involved in a robbery at age 18, as a dumb kid, should I still be called "robber xyz" for the rest of my life? Especially if I turned my life around?

Lets ignore everything else for a second. Isn't it common sense, common decency to ask how can thousands of postal workers become thieves overnight? We're talking about postal workers for fuck's sake, not a bunch of mafia dud

This was depressing to read. Failures at so many levels. 1. Immediately after Horizon was rolled out, issues were reported. But ignored 2. Prosecutors didn't bother to verify if there is another explanation before accusing thousands of

If there are humans somewhere, that place is going to have some level of corruption. I suppose a more practical way is to look at relative levels of corruption. Countries like Singapore, Norway etc have lower levels of corruption (at leas

So the very first recommendation is “check their LinkedIn”? What if I, as a candidate, don’t want to be on LinkedIn or any other social media? I understand companies want to protect themselves. They need to understand some people just don’t

While “maximizing shareholder value” is a huge problem, aren’t there other problems too? Founders wanting to get rich as quickly and as easily as possible, customers/users refusing to pay even for most important services (for example,

“Discounts upto 50%” - shopper finds out one product (that nobody wants) out of 1000 has a discount of 50%, everything else has like 5%. But the statement itself is technically not a lie, they did say “upto”, lol. That is how corporate spea
