Amazon asks corporate workers to ‘volunteer’ help with grocery deliveries as Prime Day frenzy approaches

Jump

  • Salary workers are exempt from overtime in most cases and its legal to fire them for not working extra hours voluntarily, at least in America.

  • They do that to a degree but its uaully still discounted, just not as much as you think. I work in a store that price matches amazon and we had to resticker 20 times as many products as on a normal day.

    • YSK that apart from not having a car and voting, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat.

    Jump

  • They aren't producing that meat for the fun of it, despite so much going to waste. Its still true that less meat would be produced if less people purchased it long term.

  • American meat is full of poison and is pretty disgusting.

    • Grok, even in its manipulated state, continues to emphasize the facts. And that's hurting the feelings of a lot of Twitter users.

  • Its most likely Elon posting as Grok manually.

  • Of course its better for consumers, thats why they do it. Its worse for artists, that was the original point.

  • They weren't aware they were buying a 10 year old online game? This isn't new either, many MMOs have dead periods after their final patch and before a new expansion. The crew didnt even die, they made the crew 2, which apparently was awful or else people wouldnt have complained.

  • Unions are important for gig/contract work or else workers get abused and its a race to the bottom.

  • I think its a bit ridiculous that you think you have enough information to say they should have acted sooner.

    Its also ridiculous that your arguments rely on what feels wrong.

    The game was 10 years old and people are salty it went EOL. How have this many people not played an online service game before to realize that 10 years is a fantastic run, and nothing lasts forever. Move onto a new game or help build one, this effort to make games live forever is absurd, entitled, and shortsighted.

  • Thats not what I'm asking. You just have me evidence that they didnt sell it as soon as an EOL date was announced. Are you saying they should have stopped selling it before they publicly announce the EOL? Should they have announced and removed it as soon as the board meeting ended? How much earlier would that be in this case?

    • Microsoft has never been good at running game studios, which is a problem when it owns them all

    Jump

  • Maybe calling them 545 is an insult?

    • US Congressmen praying inside the House of Representatives

  • Generally with humans, I assume about 99% act in good faith, regardless of what they are arguing for. Someone could argue for genocide in good faith, for example. The last 1% are sociopaths who have some intense issue with emotions or socializing, and do awful things on purpose.

    I think most of the republicans are good faith, they just have shitty ideology and problem solving skills, and dont do enough to counter their own biases.

  • The type of person who critically reads the bible is the type of person who stops believing in religion. Sort of a shitty paradox.

  • For all we know when the decision to pull the game was formalized, they pulled it that day. It depends what they did after they decided the game was being pulled. Did they leave it up for a few months to get some stuff in order beforehand, but kept selling it? I'd have a tough time accepting a reasoning from Ubisoft for that.

    Thats why I asked for any sort of comment or reporting on it.

    • There is no safe amount of processed meat to eat, according to new research

    Jump

  • Yeah I was being overly broad but its a good starting point still when looking to cut out unhealthy foods. People seem to understand why pregnant people shouldnt smoke or drink, I just think they should consider the foods they shouldnt eat either and why.

    • This happened one day in the window well outside my office. I got banned from r/pics for posting it.

  • It answers the question of why they wouldnt use a professional camera instead.

  • They didnt plan for it to last two weeks, the game failed. How do you expect them to guarantee a certain uptime when they have no idea if anyone will even play it.

    Jump

  • They didnt know it would only last two weeks. They probably knew it was a possibility but I doubt they planned for it.

    This is what I mean though, if concord had to say the game would be live for a guaranteed amount of time, why wouldnt they just say something low like 6 months. Why wouldnt every company do that unless they knew for sure it would be successful? Its too risky to choose longer periods of time, and we just have the same situation as now.

  • If you are saying they knew it was closing and they sold it for months anyways, that sounds like fraud. Has there been proof ubisoft decided to do this anyways?

  • Bread and pasta can be for sure. There are variations in how flour is made for example. Butter and cheese are unhealthy types of fats, they are unhealthy for other reasons. Moderation is important, and a varied diet.
