America makes people think that it’s totally fine to let people starve rather than lose a smidge of money you’d never even feel in the first place.

Literally murdering middle class and below people > giving up a small, insignificant percentage of your massive income

What would you do if someone from your previous job added you to LinkedIn?

I got on LinkedIn many years ago to make applying for jobs easier and to let recruiters know I'm looking for work when I wanted another job. But I've never learned it's etiquette, if it has a specific etiquette. Anyway, someone has initiated a 'connection' with me from my previous job. I've always thought it best to send someone a message stating the reason you want to connect/network with them, or just outright know them and see them regularly. I didn't really interact with this person in question but did see them in the background maybe twice a year? Just wondering what others would do? Could this be someone trying to pull me back in? Do people just randomly add each other?

Laid off twice this year

On Friday I was laid off. What’s crazy is I was laid off back in February. I started this new job in April. It feels crazy to have to go through this again. And now I have to explain two lay offs on my resume? Is anyone else’s industry struggling like this or am I just truly this unlucky.

Being productive while working from home

Hello guys, Italian young entrepreneur here with a small 100% remote company. I'm interested in your opinion about this article >> https://www.economist.com/finance-and-economics/2023/06/28/the-working-from-home-delusion-fades They're saying your productivity will be less from home but a happier person. I think working 100% remotely could probably be risky after several months straight, but forcing people to return office is worst. Maybe organizing some team building (I remember something from the WordPress team doing that) from 2 to 4 times per year, just to let people meet others and be able to create human connections. I'm super interested in feedback cause my goal is to have always a remote team (also from other countries) but to learn as best as I can to manage it and let people able to live better!

Watching the incredibles and saw this when Bob gets called into his boss’s office. No wonder he threw him thru 15 walls

To: employee From: Gilbert Hugh Due to financial cut-backs, you will now be expected to self-expense all office supplies, including but not limited to: pencils, erasers, pens, paper, stationary, folders, staples, paperclips, brads(?) and photocopies. All parking will now be metered by the hour. Electricity consumption and all telephone charges will be deducted from your paycheck. The board of directors at insuricare wishes to thank you for you selfless sacrifice through this time of financial uncertainty. It is because of you, the employee, that insuricare has recorded its highest profits in years. Remember a successful company makes for a successful employee(?) —–, a(?) Penny you save is another penny that goes in our profits(?)

Is this AI in action?

‘As part of the massive layoffs at Twitter after Musk’s takeover late last year, the company no longer has a press department. A request for comment on the case sent to the former contact email received a poop emoji as the auto-reply.’ Surely every former member of staff secretly wanted to give this same response.
