God bless the USA
As the title states above. Its weird how there is a full scale invasion going on in Ukraine yet I’ve heard not one mention of it at work. People are just droning on and going about business as usual. I guess people are too concerned with surviving and their wallets to really care about much of anything. It just seems weird and a little dystopian.

Would Your Attitude Change If…?
If the Russian Ukraine conflict spills to China and Taiwan, and the US gets involved and this turns into WW2 scales of conflict and ultimately the country starts begging for economic solidarity would you still go on strike for your workers benefits/ union rights/student debt?

Before I left I said essentially “hey, I'd like market average, here is what it is…
So last year I left a long term job to change locations. Things are going badly and we need to go home. I reapplied at my former job, and my interview was yesterday. While I was working there I had what they called “attendance issues”. What they actually were, were several physical and mental health issues (none of which were helped by mandatory 8 hours overtime LITERALLY EVERY WEEK), which I have explained to them ad nauseam, and every time it was like talking to a brick wall. So fast forward to yesterday's interview, which started ten minutes late. It was a panel interview, there were 3 unit managers and the ADON present. We do the interview, it goes OK, and just as we're wrapping up, the former DON logs on (at this point 30 minutes late) and spends 20 minutes berating me and insisting on knowing “what's changed”.
