It’s sincere, I don’t think people are thinking through what they’re asking for
You just can’t do it like that, because you woke up grumpy that particular morning
That should be fine though, that’s freedom of association, why force people to work together who don’t want to do so?
the “valid reason” is you don’t like them, why would we want to force people to work together who don’t like each other?
Yeah I often see people discussing minimum wages and living wages, this was a different concept I stumbled upon for people to think about, which makes sense for society to consider because if workers have families they’re not simply trying to earn a “living wage” (enough for them) but also enough for kids and/or spouse, etc.
family wage: enough to support a whole family by one breadwinner (traditionally thought of as an individual male; even with dual breadwinners you could still have an idea of how much a “family wage” would be that pays for the costs of the whole family)
living wage: enough to support an individual
minimum legal wage: legally allowed minimum to pay per hour (I don’t know how common it has been for a minimum wage to be enough to raise a family)
I do think it’s good to create a healthy culture that respects workers, but I don’t understand why being able to fire an employee is a bad thing
Imagine you’re not allowed to fire people you don’t like who you think are doing a bad job at work
handicapped spots
if they’re not being used, maybe they don’t need to exist?
I’ve seen people say it’s kind of weird people want the “handicapped” to be both treated equally and have special parking spots?
it’s no big deal if if doesn’t functionally prevent anyone from getting in and out and if it’s just a quick move
“press X to doubt”
element / matrix instead
union membership has declined just because they were bad
kind of, they can be coercive and also can be taken over and not represent what people want, and also haven’t certain laws neutralized them a bit?
I mean some alternatives that come to mind are people just switch jobs, or create businesses I guess
People could organize without it having to be a “union”, and I guess some have
none
what alternatives to unions exist that might be better in the modern day
It happened with some companies in recent years I think due to more people working remotely and they decided they might be able to try to capitalize on such capability as an “extra feature” but I think there are some plans that include it in their package (as it was previously, before being decoupled)
haha, sounds impossible, right?! It becomes possible because you put your fingers between two vertical keys, so you can do it with the 4 fingers on each hand on the home row keys (asdf jkl;) - try for example putting a middle finger between “E” and “D” on a keyboard and pressing them both at the same time
edit: you could hit more keys by putting your finger in the middle of four of them
bank attack on encryption?
that was the point, even Fox is discussing 4 day weeks, it will probably become more common where possible
media bias being called out too much
there’s also graphene and a few others or linux phones I guess
> I don’t want to work at this company anymore so I quit, I just don’t feel like working here anymore
Seems ok for the employee to quit “at will” so why not for the employer?
