I used to work as a sound guy for an indie/punk club in the US. As such I saw a LOT of live music. Two Japanese bands that were really interesting to see live in all that time are Eastern Youth, and Thug Murder.

    Satisfactory: you land on a planet and have to build a massive factory to make parts to build machines to make other parts to build things to send back to earth to save it.

    As someone who loves automation and building, and design. This game just dominated my brain for almost two months.

    You are welcome, and I am so sorry...

    [edit: also check out Timberborn. I'm currently addicted to it. A very streamlined city builder where you control cities of beavers that work with/exploit the poisoned landscape hoomans left behind to survive.]

    Anyone ever heard of an MEP Union? (lemmy.world)
     

    I am an electrical engineer in the United States who works in MEP design (mechanical, electrical, plumbing). Over the past few years I've had to jump jobs twice because of shit behavior from my employers. In that time I've also learned how common it is for these firms to hire those of us with engineering degrees at salary, with health care cost covered completely by the company, and either unlimited PTO or starting off with significant PTO. Then hire people without engineering degrees at hourly wage, limited PTO, and the typical monthly cost for health care to do the exact same job.

    The current firm I'm at let all the engineer designers take 2 weeks off for the holidays last year while the hourly designers had to work those two weeks or burn their meager accumulated PTO.

    The firm I was at before this one pulled the same shenanigans. Not to mention the significant wage disparity between the hourly and salaried employees.

    I left my last firm due to my supervisor lying about raises. During my exit interview with some HR rep in some other state none of us had ever talked to, she asked why I hadn't reached out earlier and I told her "we didn't even know you existed, and is there anything you could even do?" and she told me that realistically, there wasn't.

    At that time I tried to "Google" MEP unions in the US and found virtually nothing. I was just curious if anyone had ever come across one.

    Thank you.
