lmfao I never realized this, that’s so fucking backwards

100x the output of slop features and projects

nobody said the productivity gains would be on quality products. it’s quantity over quality 1000%

yeah I still tip (in Ontario, where servers make at least the same minimum as everybody else) but it’s just a rounded up value to even out my bill, and it’s a reasonable amount (a few bucks at most). as always, if whoever is providing a service for me did a truly above and beyond job, I will tip that. but I am rarely in that scenario when eating out, or anywhere else.

there’s just no reason that wait staff should be making an extra $30+ an hour when retail staff etc don’t make any tips. pay them all more. that’s my contribution.

but I didn’t seek good service. I sought a basic level of service expected of someone doing their job.

I don’t need service good enough to justify a $20 tip when I go out for wings and two beers and take up literally five minutes of the server’s time

fuck tipping culture, pay your employees. wait staff aren’t special. you better be tipping retail associates at least 10% of your purchases, too

work-life balance. stopping work around 40 hours even when I know my boss will be annoyed and it’ll make things messier in the future

but that’s fine, because the only way management will care to actually schedule things properly is if it actually blows up on them, so yeah. doing my part to better the company by letting shit get fucked.

I thought you were saying that the other way around, and was hoping to hear why you like 5x8 more

because yeah, I like 4x10 more. actually, I like having the flexibility to do either one based on how I feel that week and the needs of the company. I like knowing that I can get my 40 hours in and fuck off whenever I want Thursday afternoon for a 3-day weekend, or I can bleed into Friday as much as I want if there are meetings that need to have happen or other work I want to get done by end of week.

I get that some people would prefer 5x8 because they have before or after work obligations, but that’s not me so I would rather have a proper weekend.

I worked 6-6 M-F for a year, and 6-3 M-F for a few years

social life existed because of having no kids and getting little sleep. I didn’t waste time with doctors appointments or important stuff like that. I’d pop out “early” at 2 or 3 pm if I needed to for appointments.

now, I’m an office worker, but with a flexible schedule that lets me get that “business hours” stuff done when I need to. it’s wonderful and benefits both me and my employer.

ngl I considered pissing in the trees. “open 24 hours” means open 24 hours, not “open during the day but you can order pick up at night”. I’d had to piss for the last half an hour and I’d already given my body the ok to prepare to relieve itself in a few minutes when I got off the highway. that was a hard one to hold in.

I have absolutely no problem with businesses having schedules. I absolutely have a problem with false advertising and lies.

I don’t even go when on a long car trip anymore. I’d rather pay just as much for a less american chain

hell even McDonald’s closes the doors after 11pm now and is drive through only. the last thing they had going for them was that they had a washroom available when driving at night. now I’ll still go to the less american chain since there’s literally nothing McDonald’s offers that they don’t. well, nothing good anyways

I was considering buying a switch 2 for a couple of the exclusives, despite my prior beliefs, but this confirms that I shouldn’t have even considered it

fuck you Nintendo, stop disrespecting me as a customer

it’s not a valid point because you can clearly see in the video that you don’t actually need to go out into the oncoming lane, they showed a pickup making the turn unnecessarily wide

even if you excited him enough to give him a heart attack?

I’ve gotten this shit from all sorts of people (note: I am not in software dev)

I just repeat my question until they either answer it or fuck off without me doing whatever they wanted me to do, because no I’m not going to waste my time with your half finished work

Until recently, the screwworm population was kept at bay via a biological barrier along the Darién Gap at the border of Panama and Colombia. The USDA partnered with authorities in Panama to build a sterile fly production facility at the gap to regularly release sterile flies and hold the line. But in 2022, the barrier was breached, and the flies have been relentlessly buzzing northward since.

it makes more sense with context

yeah, so don’t quit. just do the bare minimum and collect a paycheque. it’s just treating them how they’re treating you, it’s fair

it must be entirely coincidental that employee performance dropped by 10% across the board

excellent show. I’ve watched a few times, but unfortunately I’ve found on the last couple that it doesn’t necessarily hold up as well as I remember

still a great show tho
