I once had a job that was working me every single day 9 hours a day because they would not replace the 4th employee who quit, running a 24/7 location.
I told them that if they didn't hire somebody I would quit.
I gave them a week and they hadn't even made an attempt to hire anybody.
I offered to the manager that two days a week we would each take a 12-hour shift, so that each of us in turn would get one full day off each week.
My manager said no.
To my manager's shock and surprise I quit on the spot, and my manager and my coworker each got to work a 12-hour shift for the next 6 weeks every single day until the other person quit and they had to close the business down until they hired in replacements.
This is some self imposed (not you) dystopian stupidity. Good on you for giving them warning, telling them straight, and then following through. Hope you went on to better and brighter things.
Oh yeah. I work a flat 40 sitting on my ass and make about 10x what I did then.
I definitely had to go through a lot of shit but that one was probably some of the worst of it job-wise.
Hell I didn't even own a car at the time but that walk home was the most baller stroll I've ever had in my life.
I got home, told my girlfriend at the time I had quit my job and then I went and slept for 14 hours without a care in the world, and then the next day I went out and found a job that paid a dollar an hour more.
Often, staffing is the #1 concern as a small business develops, so having the capital to pay enough employees is a big deal. This owner completely failed to plan.
It was based on good old fate and transport processes and plenty of scientific data (as opposed to made up hearsay?). It served us well for that sucky situation we were in. .
the IT wages in Germany aren’t as high, you’re looking at €3000-€5000 above your typical factory worker for the type of work they seem to be looking for, BUT therefor they also have German levels of workers right XD, just wait 5 years when Google decides to outsource somewhere else again, and realizes it can’t afford to pay the severance of all those employees
IT wages may not be as high in Germany as in Silicon Valley (cost of living is also a lot lower), but they are certainly a far cry from “cheap.” Also, German workers have much, much better labor conditions overall than US workers. They aren’t easy to cast aside like Google has a habit of doing.
This article reads like a complete fabrication, full of misinformation. I’ve read half a dozen other accounts of his testimony, and not one of them mentions anything in this specific version, which they would have.
Overall, we rate the Hindustan Times Left-Center Biased and questionable due to poor sourcing, numerous failed fact checks, and the promotion of propaganda.
Media bias fact check has no credibility; it’s literally just the personal website of a random guy who doesn’t even have any background in journalism or academic research; he’s a healthcare worker.
Dave M. Van Zandt obtained a Communications Degree before pursuing a higher degree in the sciences.
he’s a healthcare worker.
The majority of college graduates eventually end up with a career that wasn't their original field of study. And lots of people have hobbies; quite a few are really good at it, particularly when they studied it for four years.

Hunh. You might read the "reception" section of their Wikipedia article, which basically boils down to "it's not perfect but it's pretty darn good, and when they compare it to academic research on the sites in question, it's pretty accurate".

The same link literally says:
Wikipedia editors consider Media Bias/Fact Check as “generally unreliable”, recommending against its use for what some see as breaking Wikipedia’s neutral point of view
I like how you gloss over the six paragraphs that say "academics and researchers generally agree that it's pretty good and reliable" and focus on the single sentence that says "Wikipedia people don't use it on Wikipedia".
Are you really trying to argue that an undergraduate degree in communication before going into a different field constitutes a serious background in journalism and academic research? That’s ludicrous.
The majority of college graduates eventually end up with a career that wasn’t their original field of study.
And that’s fine, I did it myself.
But I would never try to pass myself off as an expert in a different field to the one I’m in. Especially a field that wasn’t my undergraduate degree either.

doesn’t even have any background in journalism or academic research;
And I point out that he has a degree in Communications, and you say that's not valid?
Communications includes Journalism and, depending on the university, you might be given a degree in Communications even though your field was journalism. Hell, my dad studied Computer Science for five years but his degree is labeled "Mathematics" because CS was part of the Math department at the time. My cousin studied Archeology but his degree is technically in Anthropology for the same reason. It's entirely possible to study Journalism and end up with a degree in Communications.
And considering that he spent four years of his life studying it, and another twenty working on it as his full-time 'hobby', and that the majority of people who study these things find his results to be valid, should speak to the overall quality of the site. But not everyone finds something in life that they can be this passionate about, to work at it unpaid for a quarter-century, so I can understand if you find it hard to believe.
And let’s not miss the fact that Wenstrup, who is a podiatrist, didn’t publish transcripts from the hearings. Only his own personal musings, which I’ll mention again, as a podiatrist. If I have bunions on my feet, I’d (likely not) consider calling him. But not about epidemiology.
Dr. Fauci claimed that the “6 feet apart” social distancing recommendation promoted by federal health officials was likely not based on any data. He characterized the development of the guidance by stating “it sort of just appeared.”
Dr. Fauci acknowledged that the lab leak hypothesis is not a conspiracy theory.
Dr. Fauci admitted that America’s vaccine mandates during the COVID-19 pandemic could increase vaccine hesitancy in the future.
And on top that that, Wenstrup is a fucking podiatrist from the state that I’m unlucky enough to inhabit. His personal “takeaways” from a hearing with a real doctor who spent his entire career studying epidemiology, really brings pause to accept his “personal takeaways” of the hearing, instead of just publishing the transcripts of the entire hearing.
Cherry-picking quotes and publishing a Dr Seuss like summary isn’t the same thing.
The main problem I have is that they didn’t link to any official statements. There was no way to independently verify that anything that they said was true. I’m not an expert on research at all, and there was no easy way for me to verify anything that the article said.
They only linked to their own previous posts that didn’t even clearly prove the point they were trying to make. After clicking on a couple links and seeing that they were unrelated to the point they were trying to push on the reader, am I supposed to keep clicking?
Fuck no, I’m not giving them clicks for that. So while Fauci may or may not have said the things that they accuse him of saying in the hearings, they clickbaited me enough to give up on it and just call them full of shit. Especially since I couldn’t find any corroboration from other media sites.
Anyways, as it turns out, it was proven to be airborne and staying away from people was a solid way to inhibit transmission. Imagine that, an educated guess from highly educated people. But I digress.
India wants its china/korea/japan moment where its economy rapidly grows. The problem is that rapid economy growth down the line has a drastic effect on population growth down the line.
This is actually a cool job along with being needed in this day and age. Would rather have a president having a writer doing this then being on 4chan/Twitter trolling all day
George Carlin did talk about the 20? Senior citizens who past away in Bolivia when they all stood up on a goddamn rollercoaster. Right into the fresh Bolivian La Paz air. I thought I should mention it since free tickets to Dizne could be the first step Being used to reproduce such a catastrophic event.
Watch out you whistleblowing yous out there. Accept no free tickets for Dizne.
“A lot of holes in the desert, and a lot of problems are buried in those holes. But you gotta do it right. I mean, you gotta have the hole already dug before you show up with a package in the trunk. Otherwise, you’re talking about a half-hour to forty-five minutes worth of digging. And who knows who’s gonna come along in that time? Pretty soon, you gotta dig a few more holes. You could be there all fuckin’ night.”
