I think this is funny, there are a ton of jobs and careers out there that you cannot do remotely. Or, at least the remote aspect suffers.
Every time I read these threads 90% of the posters who are advocating for WFH are programmers who have $25k to drop on a nice shiny home office, and no need to ever interact with another human. Try WFH with a baby for 12 months and you’ll want to jump off of a bridge.
He collected donations from the gullible to spread harmful fiction about an imaginary deity. We should let him keep it and let the imaginary deity enact the punishment.
Instead of creating the religious material, Shenk apparently used the money for his own purposes. The DOJ claimed Shenk spent about $1 million on online gambling sites, purchased $4 million in life insurance policies in various people’s names and spent nearly $1 million on diamonds, gold, and other precious metals.
We were full staff in office before covid, then full remote office optional in 2020/21. In 2022 we went back to one in person all staff meeting and one small team meeting each month. These are scheduled far in advance and lunch is often catered. We also went from all private assigned offices and desks to about half. Now people can reserve unassigned spaces in half or full day increments as needed. On an average day anywhere from 1/4 to 1/2 of staff are in for some or all of the day.
I live fairly close and spend about half of my workweek at the office. I typically go in 3-4 days a week but start my day at home and go in mid morning after traffic dies down. I also leave mid afternoon before traffic picks up again. Remaining work can be done when I get home or later that evening. If I lost that flexibility I would probably be looking.
I know millions of parents have figured this out but I literally cannot wrap my head around how we would be raising 2 small kids if my wife and I both had to be in the office full time. I take them to and from school most days and take care of other business during working hours. Then I work late at night to catch up on busy work. Or sometimes the weekend. If I lost that flexibility I would be looking immediately.
When my kids were young we reached a point where we did the budget of paying for childcare versus one of us staying home.
We figured out that having my wife get a masters degree and make 1/4 of the money she made in the office doing contract work from home was better than paying for childcare.
We chose not to have children, but our friends are spending upwards of $2k/mo on daycare because both parents work full time in the office. It’s outrageous.
Most parents take their kids to school. Ours started going to daycare at age 2 and he is now in preschool. We started taking him during covid because it was not possible to work. He wakes up at 6am and goes to bed at like 9pm… when the hell would I get any work done lol. And I have to be able to schedule meetings and phone calls during work hours. City employees don’t work at 9pm either. Business owners don’t do site visits at odd hours.
We went full time back in the office in April of 2022 and haven’t done very much remote since. The nature of our work makes it almost impossible to do WFH, and particularly new employees need considerable mentoring (10 hours a week isn’t uncommon) and hands on learning. Doing that remotely would probably eat up another 30 hours a week of my time, which would actually push my work from 50 hours to 80 hours a week.
So while I could do production only work and answer emails, its kind of hard to do the rest of the job sitting a desk at my house. Also, everyone else in the house works or goes to school, so I ended up being stuck at home for almost a year by myself which was depressing as fuck.
Please be mindful about spreading false information that may be potentially traumatic. This triggered my ptsd from the fatality from gun violence at the capital on January 6th.
I have to apologize, my initial read on that was that it was sarcastic. Like that whole right wing way of derailing a conversation by using the correct terminology of empathy in the wrong way at the wrong time on purpose because they think it's funny. And then the "whudabout teh tolerant left?!" cry.
Reading it again, I can see that it could be sincere. I think it's just an unexpected response to a news story on a public forum (as opposed to, say, a private conversation with friends), and that's why I read it wrong in this particular context. There's been a recent increase in conversation derailers that has me on the lookout for them
but then, we loose out on like, a good quarter of the Florida Man stories. (granted it’s mostly just Ron in his underwear doing meth again… but details.)
Please explain. Far as I know, if you’re a citizen of the US you have an ID tied to your DOB (unlike a physical license which in theory is easier to fake rather than having a remote db of this info)
It is inexcusable that this school couldn’t figure out how to positively fucking identify someone’s age. Imagine having children in this era of “we have to account for everyone’s circumstances or nobodies at all”
It’s not blamemeta’s “model of all or nothing”. You asked them to explain why schools don’t require SSN or why some children don’t have them. They told you two reasons why.
Would you train green pilots in a location where they can cause an international incident on their first oopsie of the day?
I'd say you only would if you wanted them to make said oopsies.
The pilots may be idiots, but the people who made them train so close to the border are not.
This episode, one of the new details in that four-count indictment released Tuesday, serves to underscore the prosecution’s central argument: that Trump knowingly lied about the outcome of the 2020 election in service of a plot to defraud the American people of the right to choose their own leader.
The combination of Trump’s awful judgment and willingness to take extreme actions based on his absurd beliefs makes him a uniquely dangerous person to hold any high office: a man who thinks that the vice president failed by being “too honest” in opposing what amounted to a kind of coup attempt.
In one of the most striking passages, Smith quotes “a Senior Campaign Advisor” — reported by CNN to be Trump confidante Jason Miller — admitting that their team couldn’t defend the arguments they were making (about Georgia specifically).
He chose to believe demonstrably nutty people like Powell over virtually every credible authority in the United States: his own Justice Department, his own political advisors, leading Republicans around the country, and repeated rulings against him in open court.
In one of the most jaw-dropping exchanges revealed by the indictment, Smith reports on a conversation on the topic between Co-Conspirator 4 — apparently Justice Department attorney Jeffrey Clark — and deputy White House counsel Pat Philbin.
I had to hide a bot that was just mindlessly reposting hundreds of Reddit posts to related Lemmy communities. I also had to block a sports instance that had a bot for EACH FOOTBALL TEAM posting the results of every game. Twice. Both teams bad their own communities and bots.
