Hard sell, but also outspending isn’t in corporates interests either so I don’t know what you’re getting at
If you have the threat of a losing, uphill and costly legal battle, the company is gonna be on the side of… having it not happen
It’s always the bottom line
Unless you’re being harassed by the chairmen of the board, the company likely won’t risk a big scandal and legal expense to protect your local middle management diddler
I’m talking about outspending on defense and offering settlements. It doesn’t take much to exhaust a wage slave’s capacity to keep a suit going, even pretrial.
There’s a reason most cases settle before trial. The judicial system heavily incentivizes settlement and corporations can spend more on lawyers than their employees can.
The employee’s lawyer is also gauging the cost benefit to their own time spent on the case, so the client/employee ends up getting shafted.
Of course, if there is a really egregious case, like you’re envisioning, that can go farther down the road, but it’s still an uphill battle for the plaintiff.
Edit: All this isn’t even taking into account the fatigue plaintiffs go through, waiting for their cases to even get in front of a judge can take some serious time and then a trial can be even lengthier.
Dude, you gotta come south! Even the bad slaw here is edible, unless it’s made by damn yankees that moved here.
Like, maybe you wouldn’t like it, but slaw varies so much by recipe and by ingredients quality that it never surprises me that someone hates it until they try a different version, but still hates the original version they thought of as slaw.
Like, even KFC slaw, which is mid tier at best, I can just skip the damn chicken and have that. And that ain’t good slaw.
Like, damn. You get some nice, peppery cabbage, shred it fine and do more than add mayo, and you’ll be at edible for sure. Maybe not something you get seconds of, but it’s okay enough.
I fucking love some fucking slaw. Cole slaw is pretty much my favorite slaw, but there’s vinegar slaws too, and even yogurt slaws. And damn, you get some bbq slaw, all vinegary and with plenty of red pepper in it, there isn’t anything better on pit smoked bbq. Like, damn! Whether it’s on the bun with it, or as a side with a bbq plate, it cuts through the fats as a palate cleanser, and still manages to be worth eating on its own.
And some yogurt slaw? Fuck me running! It’s more like a fruit salad with a lot of cabbage added tbh, but it works. Carrots, raisins, and finely sliced apples, some salt and pepper. You’ll slap yo mama.
Oh! And you get some fucking prime-ass cole slaw, you grab a biscuit, you slap some fried chicken on that motherfucker and top it with slaw. Gods damn, boys, that’s the fucking lunch if champions right there!
ugh…this made me remember an argument between me and my cousin, i was confronting him why i don’t use insta and all i talked about these big techs eyeing on all of us, he clowned me by saying “what do i have in my phone?, am i an celebrity?”.
Same, people keep me asking, why don’t you have whatsup, facebook, instagram or gmail? Fucking hell, we living in a dystopia where everyone need this apps as basic, corporation win and everyone clapping like monkeys.
In all seriousness, some jobs cannot be done remotely. Schools are a prime example of this. That should mean that those jobs should cover expenses for travel and have some sort of tax for offsetting their carbon footprint.
As an adult who had to sit with a first grader to make sure they stayed in their zoom classes, I couldn’t agree more. I don’t hold a grudge against her teacher, we were all doing our best. It was just impossible to keep a first grader focused on her laptop for more than 20 min at best.
As someone that used to be a blue collar worker but now is a software developer, people like us REALLY need a reality check. Working from home is a privilege that most people will never experience, and I am forever grateful for having the opportunity.
How did you get into this ? I’m currently working as a plumber and have been thinking of getting into software development or some IT job so I have more time to be home with my family. Do you have any tips ?
Where are you located? Personally I am located in Sweden and have some tips and tricks here, but my knowledge is limited outside here sadly. Personally, I applied to a coding bootcamp and worked my way up because I knew for certain that I wanted to become a developer, and didn’t want to mess with the “other stuff” that a university program implies. I had some very limited previous experience with coding. Most countries usually have something more “job specific” and shorter than a uni program, and in that case I would recommend something like that!
Most important of all: Please just DO IT. I worked as a lathe mechanic for years longer than I should have. I was just scared of change. Now, I am happy every single day to go to work, because I remember how hard my life used to be. Take my advice and don’t be afraid, if you feel like a job in IT would fit you better!
Which is a shame. I prefer alternate rules which change the plus cards rules to allow plays such as more +2’s added on top, color appropriate skips and reverses, wild cards and +4’s.
Wild cards simply pass the draw to the next player. Basically every face card can be used to counter draw cards, though usually by adding more danger. It just adds a level of skill and planning over a game where getting randomed by a +2 or +4 is just a loss.
I live in British Columbia, you don’t scare me with your story of drug addicts, hippies driving Subaru’s, and no chance of ever moving from my parents basement.
One of the chain stores sells branded shiny sausages. The semolina in the composition gives them shine. Also, when you bite into a sausage, a jelly similar to snot trails behind the piece. As you understand, there is no meat in these sausages (although it is present in the composition).
