I've always wanted to bike, and the city finally said yes, let's make the city bike-friendly. And then they go ahead and just paint a white bike lane right next to the car lane. Ye…

I don't think people are dumb though. Most working class people see through the BS because they live it everyday. I'm not talking about just us, I'm talking retail, waiters, miners…

Of course, it depends on the person. If the person doesn't want lunch, and the boss keeps singling you out to go, that kinda disrespects you. And vice versa. People are not all the…

That could be considered harassment, yea. There was a dude who told his boss he didn't want a birthday party due to anxiety and his boss ignored him and just went ahead and did it …

All these big publishers always parrot the same, 'just go to HR' as though that'll solve your problem. HR has always been the legal shield of the company; they exist to shield the …

That's absolutely false. Bullying doesn't have to be just physical abuse, everything you listed definitely counts. While you don't have to be 'friends' with people at work, that's …

My confusion is that if I have 10 GB of photos in my Google Photos, that counts towards the Google cloud storage. Gmail contents also contribute to the total cloud storage. So if G…

Yea I mean it's good advice to get a lawyer, but imagine you had to do that for every job offer. You'd be spending so much upfront just to get a job. And they don't even reimburse …

Wait really? I can't download my original file? Is there official docs on this, I couldn't find it on google. Instead I had to find it on here: https://www.theverge.com/22440156/go…

Ah yes, the Shitlassian story. Read up on it here if you don't know about it: https://shitlassian.com/

What about your college degree on your resume? Don't you have to list the year you graduated? Even job portals that make everyone fill the damn web forms manually, it generally alw…

So do sellers who got scammed by Opendoor get any kind of reimbursement? Or does FTC dust off their hands and call it a day?

Was the cancellation message only deceptive in Australia? Or is it everywhere, and Australia is the only country to prosecute?

> As part of the severance plan for the over 2,800 laid off employees, Pelton is offering a curious benefit: A membership to Peloton. Is that it? There's nothing more in their seve…

I should clarify this behavior is mostly at larger companies... and although it's my anecdotal piece, it is what I've consistently seen at different companies and what my friends t…

To be honest, I don't think this is any of the engineer's fault. I think we're an open creature by nature; we like to share and explore ideas with others. In the corporate field, w…

For sure, but companies didn't win by building a better product. They won because of copyright laws that helped them to enforce their goal of profits. If we want computing freedom,…

So for regular users, does this mean my google docs, sheets, photos will be gone? What is G Suite vs Workspace? Or will all my docs be ported over and I'll still have access?

We can infer from labor history itself. All of our benefits today came from workers who lost their lives in fighting for better working conditions. But even if we don't look at his…

Unlimited Vacation is great if there is a base guarantee of vacation given to the employees. That is, give them their usual 2 weeks (or more) of PTO in their contract. Then anythin…

Or maybe he was asking why engineers were paid so low compared to blue collar jobs. If our work is valued the same as bus drivers, then ok, he should switch careers. But if it's no…

And that's why tech needs a union. You'll always lose as an employee, on your own.

They get to continue suppressing current and future employees. Here's a perfect illustration: You know that recent article that came out about Google not paying their temp employee…
