It does in this context, since half of the study was conducted during the pandemic.

That's like saying math leads to totalitarianism (with a small t because that sounds more scary) because some people assume its universal and will therefore kill in its name.

Why didn't you take those monitors home with you? Wouldn't they otherwise go sitting unused at the office?

But why change policy now ? It just seems like they are begrudgingly following suit rather than genuinely wanting something nice for their employees.

If that were always true, whistleblowing would not be a thing.

I do not understand why HN allows submissions that require a subscription in order to be read.

What a smart, optimal use of taxpayer dollars. Ohio residents should be proud.

The difference being "the blues" have never pretended to be the party of law and order. Because, as you noted, the "bigbiz-friendly reds" do not actually support law and order either, the term "law and order" i

I don't understand why you are getting downvoted. When people say they support "Law and order" they are not talking about all crime—they are not referring to fraud or market manipulation for example (white collar crime). They

Perhaps you would gain some insight by turning your question on its head: Why haven't you switched companies? What it is about the job market that makes you unwilling to leave your current gig?

Yes you are right. However, my gripe is related. I've seen tens of articles posted here about the lack of available talent in engineering and thought there may be parallels to less skilled work.

by tolbish 5y ago
Is this actually true? I remember my grad level engineering classes in which I was the only American. And these weren't tiny grad classes either, at least 10-20 students. Now I'm starting to think all of this is simply the endgame
