HR is not capable of “liking” or “disliking” - those are human emotions. They are only capable of following policy and law - which, in my country (US) means it’s perfectly fine to discuss salary. Note: “HR” (Human Resources) describes the

A properly united rank of employees will ensure the salaries are appropriate - who says they have to be cut? That’s just a scare tactic - why not scare the employer? Cuts both ways.

Here’s the deal though: the “pissed off” ire should be directed at the employer. Making employees both pissed at each other and at the same time too scared to talk about salary means the employer gets it all the more easier to pay employees

Depends on the industry. With tech like this.. salary/bonus changes are fine. Or wage labor pay increases. Anything and including in all cases no stockholder dividends or buybacks. Price should tank accordingly. When it comes to ind

It’s nothing exact, as it’s anecdotal and incipient thought, at best. We may be indeed saying similar things. I think, though, that a nation state’s job, if it wants to exist at the gunpoint they all exist at, it should enforce a rule that

I posit that part of the reason we (in the US) are in this current climate is because of active actual choice by the capital owning class toward profit over people, because sick and in-debt people will work for a little as possible. I think

Your reply’s logic shows my point. 49% of the company can be purchased via the market. It is a public company. Public companies are legally required to put shareholder interest first - that’s what the whole point of this facet of capitali

Absolutely. We’re simply in the “post links for karma” phase, but it’s still annoying.

It’s simply because the insurance corporation is a corporation - and corporations exist to provide shareholder value before they provide customer service or labor rights. Literally any decision a corporation makes is marketing for profit or

Yeah. I have no clue what that prior reply was about. Detectors save lives. That’s the long and short of it. One in every bedroom, hallway/basement/attic, and kitchen/living spaces doesn’t hurt.

Hey so - closed doors are important. They stop smoke and fire from filling the bedroom giving you time to either escape or prepare to die. Sleep with your door closed and with smoke / CO (I know this is an article abt CO2) detectors.

If you’re a “good cop” on a force with a single “bad cop” and do nothing about it, in this day and age, you are also a bad cop.

I’m in a similar boat. I just want something as disconnected from what I do day to day as possible. I write code. I notice bugs. I don’t want an in dash embedded device with a poorly designed ui/x. I want something I can wrench on and

In the same way deepfake video should not be allowed as evidence, thereby ensuring no video is allowed… we can apply that to text as well. We’re entering an uncanny valley before a period of “reset” with self taught (to stay on subject he

Yet. Give it time and when asked “find me the owners manual for a 2004 jeep wrangler” it will list a few sites, probably one with the pdf in there, and then a few “need a new used car?” links too…

Just saying, as another firefighter, this post above is fantastic. To add: a vehicle driving over a hose also means a vehicle is likely to be “in” the scene operating area. Random cars where we don’t expect them can lead to all sorts of

Note, I made no indication of aggressor. But there is no denying that war is useful for profit and capitalism is always happy to profit.

Profit. It’s profit. It always is. US guns got there first. For profit. Modern wars “helped” by the US are always about using humans for profit.

It’s not though - when you look at what really “drives” the relationship. You trade your labor for money in a system designed to keep us so anxious, we will accept as little wage as possible, by the same capital owning class. We are subje

Or, we could just remove video/audio as evidence. Even with fingerprinting, it can still be faked enough to get past judged and elected folks who are already 200 years older than they should be while in office. People are easily faked
