This is an insult to lads the world over.

Achingly unfunny.

Enjoying pineapple on pizza is in the same realm as enjoying jelly on a peanut butter sandwich or a twist of lemon in a martini.

Make your jokes if you must but know I’m scoffing at your unsophisticated potato palate. 😉

Incorrect! It is just a pizza that somebody enjoys. Hope that helps.

This isn’t as true in tech companies as it was in traditional companies years ago. Most high level engineers take an individual contributor role that allow you to be promoted without becoming a manager. At Google it’s called a staff role. At Amazon it’s a principal role.

This is the part not being reported in the news.

Many of us are simply working half as much as we did when we were remote. It’s not worth trying to impress these people. They hate us.

Most people over-index on maximizing compensation or holding on to stability. But there’s more to work than money and stability. Work is about growth, building connections, working on things you care about, being challenged and creating a legacy.

Fucking legacy? Is this a joke? Who gives a shit about what shitty products they launch for FAANG companies? I certainly don’t - not beyond keeping my resume and portfolio up to date.

Compensation and stability are the only things that matter beyond basic working conditions and a non-toxic environment.

Regulations exist to protect people from corporations.

I know Facebook sucks, you know Facebook sucks, but Facebook spends billions of dollars to convince hundreds of millions of people they don’t suck, and it’s extremely effective.

I get the impulse to say, “you should know better than you go to Facebook for important info”, but the fact is, a lot of people do go to Facebook for important info, so it’s critical that Facebook is held accountable to their de facto position as an objective source of information.

Conservatives are working together to normalize the language of sedition ahead of Trump’s trails and the election.

They want us to stop paying attention to words like coup.

Yes, but that’s more of a side quest for the system. Primary use case has always been security.

I think it’s important to remember that not all conservatives are dumb idiots who got super into following a charlatan. A lot of them are, don’t get me wrong.

But a lot of them are selfish, religious bigots who want to violently control others. They’re not valid or dumb, they’re cruel.

Don’t let them get away with anything by cultivating the idea they’re just sheep. There are wolves among them too.

I read this comment twice before I figured out you weren’t talking about codeine and soda.

Don’t give directions. Offer support. Unblock them. Teach them to be autonomous experts. Good managers help their teams do their work by making sure they don’t have to do anything but their work.

You probably already know this, but I’m saying it for the group. Good managers exist, and their role is to help actual workers work more effectively and remove obstacles to good work. Not to tell people how to work.

Ferrule is the round metal thing the aglet goes through

This is an absolutely ludicrous policy.

Imagine a company banning their employees from washing their hands or wearing hair nets?

The only possible reason they could have to do this is an attempt to appeal to moronic conservatives.

Do they realize that workers in food factories have been wearing masks for decades?
