all hail the paper which ruins literally every single fucking thing. the paper has spoken.

It already is, they're just removing the competing product they bought for the very reason they bought it.

They already took away the only features I bought one for some time ago. The app itself will meet the same fate sooner or later.

Let the grapheneos foundation take it over

Gotta have those high-capacity magazines

wish I could updoot twice.

Shh, you're gonna upset the white cisgender conservative males...

This may be tough to understand but, war crimes are still war crimes, even when they had strategic value.

Fucking mind-blowing, it's ok though, it won't ever be your kids.

Yes, idiot. Choosing instances of when it's less helpful (arguably) doesn't negate the cases where it is deemed very helpful.

I have a three-pack special: 15k for all 3.

-You mean according to the law, I'm right, since it isn't law that you're required to work 40 hours, by definition of salaried exempt

-Yes, filling in key responsibilities is not a perfect science of what that means, which is is why the FLSA and it's enforcing agency the DoL go out of their way to develop logical "tests" on what kind of work should qualify for salaried exempt, a small percentage of which you list (for some odd reason)

• What's wrong with checking off a list? Anything is checking off a list. That's not a counter-argument. You're just stating what you wish happens, but just stating assertions doesn't make them true. Employers will get whatever the market will bear in terms of labor negotiations. If that means having to put up with "double-dipping", witches, and bears oh my, idc.
• Employees that meet the definition of salaried work and thus have freedom over their time earned from efficiency shouldn't have a problem handling their duties. If they choose to work more for additional pay from someone else at the risk of burnout and expense of their leisure time, so be it. It's not a marriage to an ultra-jealous controlling douchebag, even if you want it to be and redefine anything but complete submission as a "breach of trust".
• You are just being deliberately obtuse with hypotheticals. People should be allowed to work two jobs, if they are efficient and wish to sacrifice some of what should be their own time, provided they can actually handle it. Yes, the wins in efficiency by not forcing people to pretend to be productive for 40 hours are there. Anyone with a tenth of a brain that's actually worked in a corporate environment will attest to that intuitively. That doesn't mean in actuality, everyone will be able to work two jobs. Not everyone will have the same available energy left over, nor will choose to spend it that way. If someone wants to exert themselves further, let them. It'll be up to them to manage the possibility of burnout, decide how temporary the situation will be, et cetera. Making another 100% (ballpark) of your salary is not a bad incentive in the short term at least, though companies won't be handing out 100% salary bonuses for efficiency nor performance anytime soon. We all know how little a dollar goes these days, and how wages haven't kept up with inflation for generations. This is one of the results of that.

-"Incoherent ramblings" you sound like a bad small-time manager that blames younger generations for their ineptitude as one. Seethe and keep getting left behind, all that grandstanding is only gonna get you brownie points with your fellow boomers, but it won't actually help you navigate a changing labor market.

what about spilled miak?

We need peanut butter on billionaires

I'm sexually attracted to shark fins, so they certainly cause boners for me.

worship the 🍄, for Toad has spoken.

true, we're just gonna be like a soft reset button, like a windows reinstall without formatting, where it just shoves everything into windows.old

what a rollercoaster.

You're as handsome as a fish which is handsome and gets all the fish-ladies.

You can assert that it's a "problem" all you want, it doesn't make it true. Salaried exempt has a definition which is compatible, in abstract, with working two jobs in the same working day or week span. It has to do with being able to fill the key responsibilities of your job description on a given day or week. If you fulfill those, the rest of the time is yours to do whatever you want with. The expectation is that on the other hand you will work overtime if needed to complete those key aspects without additional pay. That's the definition in a nutshell. You adding stipulations about time and "double dipping", et cetera is fabrication. That's just what companies eventually pushed into being normalized as unwritten law in an ever-present desire to squeeze every single imaginary accounting cent they can out of their most expensive assets. It's high time people pushed back on this bullshit. Most people in office jobs can do their jobs effectively in well under 40 hours. One of the reasons there's so much bureacracy and time wasting in corporate environments is so people can fill up that arbitrary amount of time without 😱 looking like they're doing their jobs in less than 40 hours. Businesses heavily mismanage people (and their bottom line) by assuming every single minute spent on the job as recorded is linearly related to productivity. It's not. You will lose out much more from the inefficiency begat by a toxic culture promoted by those wrong assumptions than the comparatively minuscule gains in imaginary labor value you put down on the accounting journals. There's only so much you can squeeze from people, beyond that it's delusion and negative gains. A good manager understands that the true resource is employee morale, trust, and loyalty; and you can't get that without being realistic about what it means to treat employees like human beings. Jobs used to be 9 to 5, the 40-hour standard was based on half-baked quick math a clueless 10-year-old would've pulled out of their ass, and study after study after study shows nothing but positives both for employers and employees in more efficient and balanced work time structures than the current mass delusion standard.
