  • I've had a job sorta like that where I was paid more to do the job and given better hours than some people with more relevant coursework just because I have a degree and they didn't quite have one. Like, I wasn't gonna complain and I was actually quite good at my job, but it had nothing do with the "BS" in my resume. No one was totally incompetent at the job at least.

    They eventually switched to paying primarily by relevant experience primarily rather than degree level, which seems like a better predictor of being good at the job from what I've seen.

  • We don't check. I don't really care as long as they can do the job. But believing they have a degree is useful for telling clients who specifically sometimes ask about the degrees of the people they'll be working with.

    We also don't DM people trying to recruit people tho.

  • The lack of groups was the deal breaker for me, so after it rolled out to beta, I finally switched back to Firefox as my primary browser.

    Last I tried, I don't think you could reorder or drag/drop groups and selecting multiple tabs doesn't result in "group tabs" in the context menu, but it is still decent enough.

  • Imo, they're only there for the company to promote ad programs and discourage stealing by being there. Otherwise, they just make the store experience worse? Unless they give me a discount for using a cashier, I ain't doing in.

  • Usually its not explicit, but patterns happen can be seen. Sometimes its not obvious unless you are specifically looking for it or the one directly receiving the treatment.

    Trans experiences are just one case where those patterns become a lot more obvious. I remember someone telling a story about how often transitioning, someone's father and brother started giving football explanations to her as if she were new to the sport when she'd been just as involved for her entire life. Its not like they were intentionally trying to be malicious, but they clearly subconsciously decided "woman needs to be taught how ball game works" even when its someone who they previous thought of as a man and didn't treat like that.

    Of course cis women point out that same kind of treatment. And often people just think they're imagining things.

    1. The same 3 I knew back in kindergarten. But I totally forgot one of them for a long while, which is the one I choose to use when I started kindergarten and resulted in my mom getting a call because I supposedly didn't know how to count.

    Not fluent in either of the two non-native languages. My peak was probably 5, but two of which were only for a couple years max and very similar.

  • Given there's lots of states still sitting at $7.25, $17 is certainly a step in the right direction. But it should be $25/hr and people should be pushing the idea that $17 is too small, but still better than nothing. $17/hr is already the compromise and treating it like it isn't doesn't benefit it. But its also not helpful to be defeatist about it not being enough.
