  • For instance, the reason why minimum wage jobs do not have set work hours for most people is that having a constantly changing schedule that varies every single week makes it harder for people to do things that can break the cycle.

    Things like, going to college or go to a trade school or participating in external events that would allow them to meet other people that could give them a leg up in the world.

    Don’t blame your manager or even the regional manager of the story you work for. This policy is being passed down from on high. Your manager is simply forced to do it.

    Chances are they are just in the slightly more profitable portion of the cycle. Their increased paycheck comes in part from gently oppressing their co-workers in service of their masters.



  • None of the companies I have worked with do that. What we do instead is we disable their login, and we also make sure that the PC is encrypted, so that if they do not return it, they will, of course, have to pay us for it, and then they can wipe it and reinstall and do whatever they want to do with the physical hardware.

    Most people just return the hardware. Actually, now that I think about it, I think only once did we have an issue with getting the hardware back and we had still ended up with the hardware back after like a nine month delay.


  • Being woke: very cool.

    Performative “wokeness”, specifically the overbearing type that attempts to impose your beliefs and opinions on other people: very uncool.

    When those right-wing jackasses say woke, they mean the latter, even though they’re using the former.

    Also, since the actual thing they are against is the “attempting to impose your belief and opinions on other people”, it’s hypocritical of them because that’s what they’re doing.

    They’re just not doing it in a way that attempts to make everyone all peace, love, and joy.

    The irony is that they expect to receive peace, love, and joy in exchange for their anti-performative wokeness stance against the peace love and joy types.
