Many companies are pushing employees to return to the office. But what's the environmental impact?
@grist explores the question: "Recent data suggest that remote work could speed along companies’ plans to zero out their carbon emissions, but businesses don’t seem to be considering climate change in their decisions about the future of office work."
Other professors used to take me to snacks when I was single, so I was well aware that hostesses were mostly divorced or single mothers. Mimi sheds light on the nature of snacks by saying that #Japan has a dark side. Regarding the #social#inequality that Greg mentions, Mimi clarifies that there is a double standard whereby men can go to snacks openly, but it is shameful for #women to work in them. Now I'm a family man, but I sympathize with such women, who would otherwise have to #work for close to the minimum wage.
A documentary succeeds insofar as it sheds light on the topic. If you watch it, perhaps let us know your impressions.
How are we all doing today? Let's all take a moment to comment below and discuss what the day has in store for each of us.
For me, it's just the usual work stuff. On-boarding/training was completed yesterday for my transition from a contractor to a full-time employee, so it's back to normal starting today, which is nice.
No plans for the rest of the day though I do hope to get some video game time in later.
I just heard the bad news that I am probably going to need a new job starting in July.
So, before beginning the regular search, I wanted to ask my Fedi friends if anyone could use a capable C++ programmer with lots of graphics and networking experience. I wouldn't mind a change, so I'm open to anything. Even other programming languages! It would be awesome if I could use Linux to do the work. 🐧
Locations I would consider are: Central Europe, Melbourne, Sydney or Remote
As many of you know, I have worked for @novalauncher for 8 1/2 years. When I was hired, I was done so as a contractor and remained a contractor the entire time. Then two years ago, Branch Metrics acquired Nova and while I made the transition over, I was still a contractor due to Branch not having things setup to hire full time employees in the state of North Carolina. So for the entirety of my Nova Launcher career, I've been a contractor. (cont...)
Today, that has officially changed. Effective today I am finally considered a full-time employee for Branch and for Nova Launcher itself. This has been a very long time coming and something I've hoped to have happen and today is finally that day.
Job wise, nothing changes as I will still be doing the same thing(s) I've been doing for 8 1/2 years. The only things that do change are as follows. (cont...)
It's an early start to the day due to excitement on my behalf, so let's all discuss what the first day of the week has in store for us as well as the week ahead.
For me, it's some work stuff(more in a post coming up shortly), followed by more work stuff.
Video games tonight with family friends like we do each Monday and then just relaxing and enjoying the evening!
As the yen continues to hurtle downwards (it hit 155 yen to the US dollar this week), it's time to reconsider working in Japan unless you earn in USD. Here's why it's harder than ever to justify working here. (We wrote this in November 2022, but it's even more true today.)
How are we all doing today? Tell me about your day today, or what cool things you did during this past week or what awesome things you hope to do over the upcoming weekend.
Work stuff as usual here and with no meetings at all today, so that's nice.
For the weekend, no plans that I know of currently. Likely just stay home and relax.
