What happened to the mods that were deleting comments and forcing a casted out mod to become a mod again?

I know it was a big deal when it first happened, but what became of those mods? Are they still here? This is about that failed fox interview scandal BTW

First post, curious where you’re at..

How many of you decided to go to college for a career? I know it’s a personal decision but the idea of giving that much of my time to school and then work is dreadful to me. Have you tried or are you interested in a commune? In todays market I think at least finding some people to get a lease with is the most realistic, for me. Which sucks because my goal was to live alone, I love personal space. Has anyone here successfully made enough money fast to retire like before 30? If so how did you do it? I hate how much of my time I lose to work. How possible would it be to form a group who is interested in living a simple life together? Land can be cheap if enough people go in on it. I know getting a well can be tricky, but…

Am I being spied on at work?

Today I was working in the office and not from home :(. I was sitting here and a weird pop up came up saying Remote Desktop Connection – rjones wants to connect. Ok or cancel. If no response within 30 seconds it will be canceled. Was this a hacker or someone in my company trying to spy on me and what I'm doing? Do I need to triple productivity now?

I was told to round down or round up my time. So if I start work at 7:55 I need to put 8. If I work 37 minutes, I should round down to 30, instead of 45 because this is a common business practice. Is this normal? I have entered exact times on the card and into ADP so idk why it’s a problem now.

You can make as much as you want, as long as you give up your personal life.

Where I work, if we meet expectations and make a profit, we get a raise between 0% and 3% of our current salary. At my salary 3% isn't even $1/hr. Given that I am the only one who does my job, and we can't seem to hire anyone willing to travel or work here, there is no hope for getting any assistance. Recognizing this, my boss and another higher up submitted a request to get me a bigger raise. HR responded by saying that I'm already compensated for what I do because I get paid for overtime. So I can basically make as much as I want as long as I give up any shred of a personal life that I have left. This is apparently how they show their appreciate for busting my ass to keep production moving. I have a skill set that is in high demand so…

Question about what documents employers can ask for.

Hey guys I live in Ontario Canada and my employer is asking for documentation to prove my absence from work. The reason was a vet emergency so I will be providing the bill for the service. What I want to know is can they require such documents or can I refuse it without worry of repercussions?

Another Post from Central PA – Postal Worker Edition

tw animal death, proposed cruelty to animals So we have a problem in our neighborhood with these 2 dogs getting loose. They're aggressive dogs, they attacked and killed a small dog and somehow the owners were allowed to get them back. These dogs are menaces, cops won't do anything (shocker, I know). They get out periodically and we just sort of have an agreement that we all warn each other about these dogs. Even people who can't stand each other are decent enough about that. A couple of days ago, I was coming back from a trip to the store with my kid and mom. I had mace and a baseball bat just in case, because my kid is tiny and my mom's elderly. We got into the yard without an issue. Then I saw a postal worker delivering mail. I immediately warn her about the dog, and this dog,…
