  • Haha aye, we call it Corporation Pop round my end.

  • We call it Corporation Pop here.

  • But why? Why make them scared they'll lose their jobs at any moment Vs feeling secure?

    If they're scared, they'll be seeking better employment, applying for other jobs whilst working this highly unstable one. Probably reduced productivity too, I wouldn't be as productive under that sort of negative environment.

    Make them feel valued and secure though and they won't leave, there'll be less workplace issues for you to have to deal with, and they'll work harder.

    Unless you see them as completely disposable because the law won't touch you and there will always be desperate people to fill those positions at any given time, fear is a ridiculous thing to want to instill in your workforce.

  • You say they, not including yourself.

    You're a member of the rich ruling class, then?

    It's an interesting perspective that working class teenagers brought this on themselves.

    They generally seem quite restricted in their agency and impact, indeed they are usually the most vocal and proactive age group for bringing about positive change, but the incumbent oppressive system of late stage capitalism (not any one individual, group or organisation, but the collected interests and power of the ruling class put through the lens of capitalism) resists that change with great strength.

  • You know its reflective surface? Well, uh...

    I hate to be the one non-scientist that picks this up, guys....

    ...What worries me is that it's reflecting everything but us.

  • hahaha good onion article can you imagine if this really happened haha

    r...right?

  • If the USA government says it's not involved, that means it's involved, right? Every lie from them is a truth these days.

  • Methane is what the majority of natural gas is made up of, and if your generator isn't made to be very efficient (like a real power station is), you'll lose some of your fuel unburnt into the atmosphere.

    Kinda like unburnt wood smoke vapour, which could have been burned in a higher quality wood burner, but just goes up the chimney in an open fire.

  • ...📉

    Jump
  • Glazing?

  • It was glorious. I used Stardock's Windows Blinds to adjust the transparency to what felt just right and that was chef's kiss

    Ahh, what we've lost...

  • Standing still in front of a television camera man with nothing else around you, holding a microphone and talking in to the camera, while a fascist police calmly raises their gun in full view of the camera and shoots you in the back from about 10 yards away?

    Also she was a woman.

    ...or are we talking about ANOTHER journalist they shot today? Surely there weren't two?!

    How many innocent people are they shooting, I wonder? How many are being disappeared to the American Gulags of El Salvador without a trial? The journalists at least have a voice, the others won't be so lucky.

  • Interesting way to say a British ship was attacked in International waters.

    Lets sit back and watch my government do fuck all about it.

    Maybe they can give Israel some money to make them feel better? There there poor Israel, the naughty aid workers are in prison now it's okay that food won't reach the people that need it, phew that was a close one.

  • They're not wrong though, assuming they're in the UK and/or their contract agrees a minimum of two weeks notice, as is standard.

    This applies both ways. I expect this employee would be angry if their employer breached their contract to sack them immediately without this notice, but if the employee breaches those same terms of their agreed contract that's....okay? No.

    Regardless of their feelings, it's very unprofessional, petty even, and depending on how litigious and unhappy with them their employer is, not a very smart idea.

    There are many edge cases where things must be looked at differently of course (someone resigning over harassment at work would not wish to remain there for a fortnight serving their notice for example), but this must be discussed and agreed upon, because again, it deviates from the legally binding contractual agreement they both signed.

    This employee, regardless of any legitimate grievances, in this communication is unprofessional, petty, and frankly childish.

    While I don't know the story behind their falling out, I suspect the employer will be glad to see them go. I wouldn't want them working for me, or even work with them as a colleague. They sound awful.

  • Are you suggesting there's a separation between church and state? howdareu

  • Nobody cares. You're homeless? Nobody cares. You just got dumped? Nobody cares. You're sick? Nobody cares. You're struggling? Nobody cares.

    Sure you might have some friends who care in a very superficial way, but when the going gets tough, everybody leaves.

    There's just no hope, and you're on your own.

  • I've never actually seen a display port cable, so if there was one in the back of a PC I had to pull out, I'd initially treat it like a HDMI cable and just pull it out.

    It doesn't look like it has screws, so if it has some way of locking in place it must be sneaky about it right?
