as a way to discourage IT bro's, we always put in women in the interview and give them the choice of questions to ask, and if they get bad vibes we let them unload.

seems to be a similar tactic

I will wait till it's $50

i think it's really dependent on where you are in the USA and then your accent when speaking. That is a stronger determination on how you will be received over skin or racial distinction.

but really a lot of the US is racist in some way. facing it in some way to stand up for yourself as an individual is the best way to beat it.

oh yeah the first sentence should have included that the country that the agreement is in, recognizes it and binds both parties to it. So its a 3 party agreement in a sense, with the 3rd party being the courts of the country with laws recognizing the agreement.

The CBA will have a part in it about about strikes. I have been in a few unions that agreed in the CBA that we would not walk out strike, but we would do things like everyone wearing the same shirt or during lunch hour, gathering in the street in front of the workplace. It has a good optic and imo most of the time, the people directly in charge of you don't want to make waves with the union. its a good balance of power that is beneficial to everyone

The collective bargaining agreement (CBA) is where the power is, its a legally binding agreement between the Union and the Employer. The unions have lawyers that have crafted the language and there is a lot of back and forth until its agreed upon and then its binding for both parties.

When you get a union job, the position is represented by the union and the employer has agreed to the CBA. So as the union employee, if I feel that I am be asked to do something outside of my job description, I can request the union to audit the work which puts management under the microscope and well they don't usually like that so they will create a cold war and force policy adherence to the letter. In the end everyone is usually more clear about what is acceptable and what is not.

But the real power is that if its not in your job description, you can really say no and they cant do anything about it. The "other duties and responsibilities" should never be more then 8 hours in 2 weeks. If it does, it needs to be included as part of your job description. And the union has a death grip on that description with the CBA.

Sun Ra for some extra funky jazz

we called plain dry ramen "food brick"

lol man that brings me back! it was ok for some flavors. put the flavor packet into the package, give it a shake and crunch crunch

I hate that I recognize the software behind the screenshot of his termination ticket.

Its situations like this, that make me happy to have made the choice to exit the private sector and deal with the bureaucracy and almost equally maddening public sector issues. But at least the public sector is dealing with people and not blind policy making workflows that are impossible to interrupt.

People can be frustrating but at least you can get something done with people.

my tech department recently unionized, its great

one of the best things about it is enforcing the "other duties as required" and setting a hard limit on what that means, management has to accept it and they hate that shit

:(

I had coworkers that died... working at a hospital during that time was a nightmare

until 1 million what?

red sky morning.... sailors warning

there is a lot of native bamboo in all places, so it is resilient and a lot of the times the other stuff can only catch on if its provided a space. it can then go invasive... but thats not what youre talking about

i think a lot of it is just aesthetics and that people don't like bamboo
