Head of PR at China's biggest search engine Baidu apologised after her comments glorifying a work-till-you-drop culture sparked public outcry (www.bbc.com)

In a series of videos posted on Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, Qu Jing, said she had no responsibility for employees’ well-being “as I’m not your mother”....

To flex your wealth and feel superior to others, apparently

Hadn’t seen this one before! Got a link to the original?

kat_angstrom,

Oh, perfect. The Gollum videogame was wonderful, and everyone loved it. Hopefully it’s 3hrs of similar quality

kat_angstrom,

If it’s like a lot of other tech companies, likely this was posted in a questions thread during a large meeting, and while everyone can see the questions being posed, Execs pick and choose which questions they’re interested in answering, ignoring the ones they don’t like. It’s a good way of determining employee morale while avoiding all accountability.

kat_angstrom,

“The numbers are one thing, right, but … the government’s approach here is their briefing essentially says there’s nothing wrong. I get there’s posturing, but this is actually quite dangerous posturing on the side of the government.”

kat_angstrom,

Most people have the will; but our civilization’s leadership doesn’t have the interest because the status quo serves their needs adequately.

Nothing will change until we have either a full collapse, or a general strike.

kat_angstrom,

Before the bread price fixing scandal broke, if anyone had asked Galen if they were manipulating the price of bread, he would have shown this same level of deflection and never admitted in a million years what they were doing. If we asked now if there were any other price fixing scandals waiting to be discovered, they’d deny and deflect regardless of the truth.

Now he just wants us to trust him, and take him at his word? This billionaire has given everyone zero reasons to trust him, and many reasons to do the opposite.

kat_angstrom,

Absolutely hitting the nail on the head. This is something that isn’t being properly discussed anywhere in society; how many billions does a billionaire need before a billionaire has enough billions?

If enough is never enough, then that’s not sustainable, it’s not healthy for our civilization, and they’re absolutely suffering from a form of mental illness that requires social intervention. If a trillion is the number before they’ll actually be satisfied; then they need to adjust their goals.

Dare I say it: as long as there are camps full of homeless, as long as people working 60+ hours a week and can’t afford both food and a place to live, as long as 50% of the population is one missed paycheck from going broke- there should be no billionaires.

Our economy is dysfunctional and serving the interests of the rich above everyone else. We need an adjustment before the tipping point tips us from untenable into chaos, because these current trends are leading us all into ruin.

kat_angstrom,

That’s some hostile workplace kind of BS, and shouldn’t be tolerated. Document everything, names, dates, info etc.

kat_angstrom,

But what percentage of fake birds are real fake birds?

kat_angstrom,

I’ve never heard of anyone screaming because they had to scan their own groceries at a self-checkout. Is this a common thing?

kat_angstrom,

Yup, it’s a little known secret of our economy that roughly 15% of the populace makes over $10,000 a month evaluating restaurants, aka, eating at them and filing reports.

Those reports are essential for us all, and I for one have been perpetually grateful for the knowledge I have gleaned from them.

kat_angstrom,

I reached out to The Guild of Restaurant Evaluators to ask, and they told me it was a trade secret. But then when I asked the Restaurant Evaluators Guild, they told me it’s for “legal” reasons. But they put “legal” in quotes. The Evaluators Agency told me it was because nobody trusts 21 year olds, but let’s face it, of the “big 3”, nobody trusts The Evaluators Agency compared to the other two.

kat_angstrom,

Build personalities from childhood onwards, so as they get older they already possess personalities instead of being vapid empty shells of humanity
