It’s Lemmy’s fault: the original is a static gif file, and picts-rs has converted it into an MP4, on the unsophisticated assumption that it’s animated.
Bullshit. I’m allergic to cats and it gives you a natural dislike for them. Also I’m convinced that cats are creatures from another dimension or planet, they’re toxic, demon creatures
I’m not gonna lie I wondered about my dog being a fascist. It will definitely be a an interesting world. Where I and anyone who thinks that they are a great owner would be made an example for our shortcomings. I mean dog to human ageing is 7 to 1 years. If I were in such a constrain I’ll kill the person who would make me wait for stealing from my lifetime.
A circle jerk of violent xenophobic fascists stole a holy symbol from a race of people they try to convince themselves are lesser than them. This flag is way more reflective of Nazi than anything lifted from Hinduism.
The swastika wasn’t owned by Hindus. It’s not even "owned’ by Dharmic religions in general. It was simply a very popular symbol that could be found in basically all cultures, including Native American cultures.
Do you know what event actually popularized it the most in Europe and directly led to it being co-opted for hate?
Schliemann’s discovery and excavation of the city of Troy, which included nearly two thousand depictions of the swastika.
If I hear the word rightsizing come out of my boss’ mouth, that mouth is immediately losing a few teeth. I would legitimately prefer the boss in this comic, because at least they’re honest.
It’s not manly, it’s a toxic combination of rage issues and holding everyone to the standards of being honest, with themselves and others. Get it right.
What part of “rage issues” do you not comprehend, troll?
I am well fucking aware it’s not a good thing. Just like you are well fucking aware that your bullshit comment isn’t gonna change shit.
I, on the other hand, am actively working to fix it. Just because I am aware of and honest about my own limitations does not make me less than you. Hell, it makes me better than you.
In short, piss off with your self-righteous and performative ass. Nobody wants to see it.
Not much I think, think you’re also demonstrating it in comments.
I think my comment contributes to question this kind of behavior which is still too much normalized as shown by your votes. Too many people still think it’s cool.
I’m glad you’re working on it and I hopes it improves things for you. I think answering to critics online without resorting to insults could be a good exercise. I didn’t say I was better than you, while you just did, I just wanted to point out that this behavior shouldn’t be celebrated.
Yeah, at this point, the boss in the comic would be massive improvement over most tech CEOs. Corporate doublespeak is more infuriating than just being a fuckup
I genuinely respect when people own up to their mistakes.
I’d greatly prefer a boss who says “look, this isn’t your fault, I wish I could do better by you, but it was my job to protect your job and this is where we are. Absolutely use me as a reference, reach out to me if I can do anything to help you land on your feet”
People really hate when something unfair happens and you try to pin it on them… But when you put down the titles, explain why it’s come to this, and offer to help them find a new job? That’s how you don’t burn the bridge from the other side… It doesn’t even require you to actually take responsibility, you just have to acknowledge it’s not their fault and make them feel you’re not taking it lightly
I have seen a pattern of the boss or even second-tier management not even knowing it’s about to happen. Like the now-famous Cloudflare botched “layoff-not-a-layoff” decisions are being made by folks who probably don’t even know the people they are firing, they are just names on a spreadsheet.
The good managers I’ve worked for think this way, they are there to make their team better and actually care about them as humans. For anyone thinking about going into management, every business I’ve ever seen needs more managers that care, it’s a worthwhile job and even fewer people can do it correctly than many technical jobs. Managing poorly is trivial, so we all think it’s “easy”.
I think a lot of the way executives handle things like this is very similar to how kids handle problems. They continue to try to cover it up and downplay it in hopes that everything will be over soon and no one will talk about it. They say “this is an adjustment” or “it’s a transitory period” while continuing to do additional lay offs and saying “we just need to put this all behind us”, instead of ripping the bandaid off.
Just treat people like another adult on equal footing with you. It’s not that hard.
HR will say it’s your fault so that the company saves on severance and unemployment insurance reimbursements. They pass off those costs to state taxes and the fired employees.
Admitting fault and admitting they are firing perfectly capable workers is more expensive and hurts the bottom line, which is all they are really there to protect.
Yeah, that’s my point. By not acknowledging how bad it is, it makes it worse. People get mentally exhausted, and productivity drops. They think they can fool people into believing this are sliiiiiiiiightly better, which means the company should do better. But that’s based on the belief that your employees don’t see through your bullshit. Any benefit they get from trying to game employee’s responses (read: get them to believe your corporate bullshit) they end up losing more through the negative impact it has on those left standing after the firings.
I agree on the outcome, I’m saying they don’t care what the fired employee really thinks, they just need to cover their asses in the event an employee sues them. And they are also doing it to discourage the fired employee from suing by showing them they’ve already built a case against them.
Great actually. I got a good paying job doing what I like that doesn’t involve me needing to motivate myself to continue working after I get home, or stress out about being prepared for an arbitrary test of my abilities.
Still there, but that’s more of a failing with education costs than a problem brought about by reliance on last-minute, stress-motivated, ADHD superpowers.
When i learned about bread years ago, i went outside with all the peas and goodies i could find. The ducks approached me, waiting for some bread. I gave them peas and they did not understand what it was and refused to even inspect it. It ended with me giving up, laying it on the ground and retreating. And even then, they did not bother to check…
I don’t think they ever had been fed anything other than bread. They had no idea that i was offering them food. I’ve also never seen anyone feed them something healthy. Honestly, i think most people here have no idea whatsoever that bread is unhealthy and also disrupts the peace and quiet of female ducks; a study showed that ducks were fed so much bread that the males had basically all day to chase females around.
Yeah, I got lucky with my cat too. If I sleep in, she sleeps in. Even if she’s not sleeping in, she just curls up in my arm and will sit there, just awake and chillin. When I go to bed, she’s ready for bed. She gets in, curls up in my arm, and is ready for sleep.
When she was a kitten, she was definitely bad about playing with my face at random hours of the night. But I sort of trained her to not wake me up. She wouldn’t eat until after I woke up-like, a few hours. So she never associated me waking up with food. It was just sort of the routine that she ate away from bedtime. Boom, perfect cat.
