This nanny state for multi-leggers must end. Fancy Feast queens.

It’s on AFI’s top 100 movies, yeah you’d better watch it. It’s great to see bogart not playing suave, suited characters ala cary Grant.

John Huston was super interesting and influential filmmaker in his own right.

I’d say given the current tech environment that book would “educate” based more on a Brave New World caste and less on ideal knowledge to raise someone up but to keep them in a certain assigned position.

Holy shit. I’m American and visited Loch Lomond and the trossarchs for the first time recently and this kind of vomitous entertainment in the middle of a temple of nature…above the objections of citizenry because of lobbiests and corruption, just appalling. I hope you have some sort of higher court function to which you can take this. Do your officials want ecoterroism? This is how you get it.

Business management practices. For a half century now, the snake has been eating it’s tail devouring itself, it’s employees, it’s communities, it’s government’s…all to make Lumberg’s stock go up 1/4 of a point. None of it is sustainable. Most of it is impractical. We all know it will end in violence in several likely ways and some of the damage is irreversible to people and planet. Yet, despite those unequaled consequences of current approaches, it’s breathtaking the confidence with which freshly endebted newly minted business grads seek to join the line of miserable adults to create more miserable adults. Impressive execution of horrible ideas for sure.

I think your premise is pretty easily shown untrue; modern propaganda tools simply outpace and put volume traditional education and so bad ideas, memes and misinformation–to say nothing of the lower ends of human nature–are quite popular.

They built payroll systems. Then they decided to add on frankenmodules done by people who have never worked in HR. Also, to be fair, the world got wicked complicated in HR the last 2 decades, but yes it should be better. Many of the newer startups are designed for people but have less payroll configurability–they work for most small-midsized companies that don’t have high complexity and save eons in training and user pain.

Lots of support jobs and customer service (if US based) are moving to remote. If you have any tech/software/computer background you might be able to swing that.

You are probably caught in a catch-22; many such HR systems didn’t used to require security questions to make resetting passwords easy. Then, of course with modern data breaches the companies over time added in the requirement. The problem being when they added the security question requirement, they didn’t do the critical piece of requiring all current users to update/create security questions so any login attempt outside SSO and you’re screwed. Someone else’s problem boss!

Millions affected

Enduring unimaginable suffering

Many Germans voluntarily supported it

…SAP is pretty messed up. Still better than PeopleSoft

It’s the language they use with the powerful, along with the pretension everything must have two equally presented sides. Ironically, this approach is now quickly nearing the time when most major news outlets have either been subsumed into corporate or government parroting and the ability to actually truly even tell one side of the story, let alone two, will have vanished because they will just print what is approved.

Cloudflare is stellar. I just bought tickets to SeaWorld and my mobile phone was successfully blocked from being able to open the automatically emailed link with the ticket pdf in it. Top notch security.

The state of things is devastating. Actually getting out is the best option, I know easy for someone else to say. Right wingers love to point yo companies moving to red states for lower taxes and no employee protections, when people start leaving the states is when that narrative will change.

Not sure where you are but Colorado has paid family leave and is generally fighting a good fight and may be closest to you, depending on your red state location. Depending on the type of work you donl or want to do, securing employment in advance of relocating or looking at WFH options may be the best option to allow you to get a job and then move and not have to worry about the job location piece. Coastal places with better protections and rights are expensive as hell and probably less of an option for you but depends.

Hope you can get someplace at least measurably better and safer for you.

Oh good, a new Godzilla plot.

Well no, just the largest ones who can pay some fine or have nearly endless legal funds to discourage challenges to their practice, this bring a form of a pretend business moat. The average company won’t be able to and will get shredded.

The language is not typical for an investor suit recognizing the inherent evil in the process, it makes me think it’s for publicity or to drive a legal precedent around the inhumanity required to operate a C corp.

Thank you for sharing. I feel like this is the first fediverse exploration I’ve had the energy for since coming over in the Reddit exodus.

Can someone explain how this can/would work for a Lemmy user? They talk about federation, would that be just within this bonfire platform where anyone can put a website and social media to connect via their goals and aims and structure or could this connect to Lemmy somehow, or would that require an integration between bonfire and Lemmy? How would instances of bonfire decide whether to connect or federate with Lemmy or vice versa?

The irony of this great piece being published by the NYT as opinion rather than front page news and a rallying cry is the sad irony of the NYT business putting it’s political, advertising or financial fortunes ahead of the country it was founded in that is deeply wounded. That is of course the point of the oped.

While also completely missing the boat on the potential of graphics cards and watching Nvidia and even AMD become massively more relevant in recent years.

And then, to bring us full circle to OP, Microsoft made it’s strategic acquisition of Nokia long after they had squandered enviable market share to Apple and Google 😂 https://www.theverge.com/2016/5/25/11766540/microsoft-nokia-acquisition-costs
