I remember I switched to chrome way back when chrome was first becoming popular because of its speed compared to Firefox in like 2010 or something. Firefox caught up within a year and I have never missed Chrome for a second.
Oh, I was similar. When Chrome was new I liked it, but it seems to be vulnerable to get these weird superfluous add-ons that I may have acquired through malicious links. When I switched to Firefox I wasn’t as suseptible to malware, and the speed was just as good.
I’m pretty sure some or all of the Toys R Us employee pension was plundered in the reorg after private equity bought the company out in2018. I remember reading about it thinking it sort of made sense technically but it was pretty egregious on a human level. This post is too true. Similar to the old Stalin gem about how killing one is a tragedy but a million is a statistic. If you’re gonna do something bad do it BIG.
Some years ago, employees sued Amazon because the company had a lengthy security scan when people left, to prevent theft. Apparently it could take half an hour to go through, and they argued that this was unpaid overtime.
They lost, which seems like bullshit: as far as I can tell, the sane way to look at it is, if you’re obligated to do what the company tells you and go where the company says, then you’re on the job and should be paid for it. Once you’re out the door, you can choose whether you want to go home or go to a bar or just sit on the sidewalk; you’re not on the clock and you’re not getting paid.
If the company wants you to work 8 hours in the warehouse, then spend half an hour in the security scan, then you’re doing company business for 8.5 hours.
thats a shame- its not too hard to quickly handwash your wooden and wooden handled kitchen bits, and its so much nicer than the never ending torrent of plastic shit we have to interact with daily
