My first impression is that a child wrote it.

Management or not, the older you are, the more opportunities you would have had to understand it's more nuanced than that.

Labor market faces so many issues on both sides between overworked salaried employees, average and minimum wages not keeping up with inflation, decline in education standards putting out lower quality candidates, jobs shifting towards gig and independent contractor positions that punish independence, and so many things. This just comes off as a novice brat who didn't like how they were made to feel.

    Similar. I knew exactly who she was, and I knew the answer was going to be a pun, but I was stuck on her actual name. I started trying to think of the punchline just to remember her name, and it finally clicked when I started with camera

    This is so different industry by industry. Some can build in redundancy to cover employee leave yet still have something to do when everyone is healthy.

    For many other companies, particularly in reference to hourly employees, having too many employees in the same position to cover call outs means scheduling gets diluted among them, which leads to lower earnings for all employees and higher turnover.

    I pro worker and anti abusive management, but vague generalized posts like these feel disingenuous or at least not well thought out.

    I look at AI usage at work as basically taking on a bad but salvageable employee. For every use case, it needs a manager overseeing all their work and adapting to their strengths and weaknesses while also considering cost. It's a deployment problem created by over promising.

    I don't really game anymore after having almost a 40 year run. However, I used to regularly recommend going digital only up to several years ago. Then, store delisting started becoming more common and affecting games I previously played, so I completely gave up consoles and retracted all my recommendations.

    I'll speak for that user. They can't observe very well.

    I shared with them a 2022 UN report that acknowledges human rights abuses of the Uyghurs and other minority populations (via OHCHR), but I purposely didn't say it was the UN. They then went to say the UN said there was no genocide.
