  • Right? I was hoping more for a "16 people have quite their roles and chilled the fuck out, taking a new job where they don't have to be evil daily to maintain their positions."

    But I guess they might have trouble sleeping at night, so that's alright.....

  • I (mid 30s woman) am boss and I txtd one of my guys who isn't around very often (he works a different shift basically, sometimes we overlap, usually we don't)

    "Hey 60 year old married man when you have a minute. Swing by my office, I've got something for you."

    I had a company gift to give him.

    Auto complete decided the lips emoji was the best ending to my TXT. You know, the sexy red kissy lips.

    I NEVER use that emoji. I never use emojis, when I told this story to other workers who I TXT regularly they were like "you yeah write out jazz hands or *sparkle emoji"

    But my phone knew what that innocent TXT needed. Awkward, potentially work relationship ruining lips.

  • I gave a month's notice at a job I was leaving. I was moving on, it wasn't a shit job but I was ready to move up and they weren't promoting me to the types of jobs I wanted. No hard feelings.

    Until I have my month's notice. I had been there 3 years and assumed we would take a week or so to hire someone, then I could train them on the job the last 2 weeks. It sure would have helped me when I started.

    I wish I'd giving 3 days. They had no interest in including me in the new hire process (this is a small business, only 2 other people above me, owner and accountant) and basically it felt like they were waiting on me to leave so they could bring in their new pick.

    Now I did end up working for that company in the position I wanted part time for a couple years after that, so I guess just not showing up would have been way worse, but I found that time period incredibly stressful and still don't understand the motives.

  • Fluff!

  • Today I almost stepped on a batch of tiny baby grouse chicks. They must have hatched like 2 days ago they were so small and as they fled in terror of my Godzilla body they were barely staying on their feet just tumbling away frantically as mom called and hissed at me.

    It took everything I had not to take a step and snatch up one of the slower ones. Such good camo too once they stopped peeping and running/rolling I couldn't see any of them. Had to tip toe out of there for fear I'd step on one.

    Best day.

  • Thank you. I have a great job, with people I enjoy working with. It's relatively safe, pays well, and I get to do interesting and different things almost every day.

    But I leave the house at 6am and don't get back until 5pm, and that's just because my commute right now is super short. I'm physically exhausted to the point that walking across the street from where I park my car to my porch is embarrassing, as I've worked all day and then sat stone still for 30 minutes. I hobble like a 90 year old woman.

    If my job was 3 days a week at 10 hours, I think I'd be pretty happy. But my job doesn't work like that, and if it did then I'd be broke.

  • Another example of AI putting real humans out of work. Up until recently I used to to get paid good money to ride my bike in loops past survey cameras while wearing different hats. Now, my phone never rings and I've had to slowly sell off my collection to make rent. Even if I do get another job offer, I'm down to like 7 hats, most clients I deal with expect twice that many hats for the money they spend.

  • I have been worried about this for months. The moment of clarity for me came when I was looking up how to tan a hide fur off. I have done fur on and seen a dozen videos on it so I knew what I was looking at. Found this great looking site. Step by step. As I'm reading, something seems off. Maybe translation issues? The order here seems... Repeatative?

    Then I look at the pictures.

    First picture showed a hide being made into a drum. Ok, not exactly what I'm doing but yeah maybe similar process.... Next picture is of a dudes abs, with a tan line.... (Tanning the hide)

    Next picture is a head table for a wedding... (Decorating)

    It was surreal. And it is surreal. We are now returning to a time when we can't access information easily. Not because it isn't there, but because it's crowded by misinformation and half information.
