Everyone else is right. Try to line something new up first. But I was once in the position of quitting without something lined up, and the decider for me was that if I didn’t quit, I was likely to actually take my own life. It’s a matter of perspective at that point, and clearly, surviving was the better option.

If they were regulated as a common carrier, wouldn’t this be a non issue for them? Shame they fought that so hard, it seems like it would have saved them some money.

I hope someone gives him the advice that he should consider refusing treatment, given the fact that he won’t live long enough to be a free man with or without the treatment. He’s lived his life, and left his legacy, now he needs to leave this world.

Kroger does actually have gas stations in some of their areas. But you’re right, this is a grocery store self checkout machine.

I mean, it was indeed a hot mess in many ways, but it was also a mostly functioning online community. So functional it became a great source for information and individual opinions on just about anything.

It could have been preserved and profited from with little effort, but some suits saw a bigger payday opportunity and tried to wring it dry, accidentally squeezed too hard, and drove a wedge into the community.

It’s been broken since the 3rd party apps debacle. Thanks for fucking up the site out of pure greed, you self righteous cunts. If Swartz were alive today, he’d kill himself again over what they did to reddit.

The most bastardly thing they could do, right? The explanation is that processing costs money, so wifi via cloud only bullshit is getting expensive. Also, we’re disabling the only other viable alternative, effectively bricking all remote features intentionally. Why? Fuck you, that’s why.

Attempt to sue them first, and if that fails burn the place down.

Lol, nah, just point out how crazy it lines up with the election that gave us trump to begin with.

Gen 7 came out November 2016.

There’s potentially a much more bleak explanation that could be the case since this reminded me of a moment in my childhood.

McDonald’s management doesn’t sound lucrative enough of a gig for childcare on top of the cost of survival with 2 kids, this could simply be a way for them to watch their kid and continue earning a living. I spent a few days “helping” at a grocery store for that reason when I was 8 or 9ish, though during the day and not at 2am, and my mom got in trouble for doing that too I think, because then I just stayed home alone for the summer after that.

Doesn’t make it much better, it would just turn it into bad parent/child abuse, because of exploitation of the labor class.

The operating expenses will show a sudden and totally coincidental billion dollar increase in 2024, and tuition will be collected as usual in 2025.

Toxic work culture also means dishonest management expectations, wage theft, and generally anti-employee policies.

For example, around 2-3 years ago I heard a fun story about why my old employer lost 3/4 of their IT team(MSP, their product was IT folks). The straw that broke the camel’s back was a management partner asking an employee “are you letting your family get in the way of your job?” This was because they couldn’t get this person to work overtime on the spot because they weren’t going to leave their kid’s sports game.

At that same employer, about 7 years ago, I was told I would have to start my day at the customer’s job site at or before 8AM, and I wouldn’t be compensated for my travel time because “everyone has a commute, buddy”. Problem was, my customers were often over an hour away, and they were going to bill the customer for my travel time anyway.

There’s certainly still toxic work cultures, and while I am glad you seemingly haven’t had to experience it as much recently, you shouldn’t discount other’s struggles just because you aren’t experiencing the same thing.

You remember businesses calling everyone who worked a low appreciation job heroes? CNAs got the shittiest end of the stick on that I think.

Giant banners calling you heroes greet you as you drive on the lot of the nursing home, and you look at them knowing you’re going to get physically shit on by the patients, and proverbially shit on by the higher level nurses, the administration that now works remote, the family of the patients, and of course the patients again as well. For $12/hr. And you’re extra short staffed because anyone that could find travel work did. Brutal shit for them.

I hate to defend Kyle’s mom, but man, shouldn’t a CNA or a phlebotomist be able to afford to survive in the area they work? In their case, I guess you reap what you sow.

They’re supposed to be the court defending the constitution, but yet here we are. I wish you weren’t right.

Remember, if a company steals from you and the entire country on a regular basis, it’s smart business. If you so much as steal food from them, you’re a monster.

The article has a suit giddy with the thought of stealing from people by price gouging water in a heat wave, and you’re over here not advocating to steal back from them? Yikes.

How is this not a first amendment constitutional violation? It very clearly establishes a state religion by enforcing Christian doctrine into state law. Fuck every religion, but in particular, fuck abrahamic religion and all of its followers.

I would argue that the lion’s share of wage theft happens at the lowest paid jobs. They have no alternatives, they’re paid zero respect, the power balance is in the employer’s favor, and their employers know it. They can’t even demand a reasonable standard of living.

Well, they can but it would take a concerted effort, and the American mindset is too individualist to understand class solidarity, or too distracted by just trying to survive.
