Lmao, "all over it"

Tesla and SpaceX both have entire teams of people dedicated to making sure Musk has as little impact on the companies as possible because he's such a fuckin' buffoon. Take a look at Twitter, the company he bought and wasn't prepared to keep him off the reins. It absolutely shit tanked. Same thing with his time at PayPal. Everything he touches turns to absolute shit. The only things he has that are successful, Tesla and SpaceX, are successful literally actually because the people in those companies that do the real work male sure he can't fuck it up.

The piece of Tesla he's had the most impact on is the Cybertruck and its universally hailed as an absolute and utter failure. Put your tongue away, Musk ain't gonna share his money with you dude.

The plain and simple truth is that DEI often increases, not decreases, efficiency and productivity. It does this by creating accommodations for efficient workers who would, without them, not be able to work, such as in the new mothers example. It also increases efficiency by combating existing institutional racism and allowing for good, efficient workers who would otherwise be hedged out of the system, to have a chance to participate. A good friend of mine has pointed out that their company is not, under any circumstances, going to let go of their DEI policies because it's lead the best and most efficient departments they've ever had.

Nah, more like "we already heard your arguments at the golf club. No reason to listen again, we're already going to rule in your favor."

I can't remember the name. I'll try to find it when I'm next on shift.

They forced the company to switch from a merit system to a scheduled raise, so now everyone gets the same low raise regularly, instead of anyone having an opportunity to earn a higher raise by being good at the job. They forced us to separate out sick leave vs pto, when before it was just one large pool. Now we have much less time off in total. Then they forced in a specific discipline policy requiring several steps and legalese loopholes which forces us to keep bad actor employees for months and months when before we could just fire them. Overall quality of service is way down, the workload has dramatically shifted so that there are now freeloaders and then employees who have to take up the slack. Morale is down, all our quality employees are burning out and quitting. It's a fuckin mess.

Hey! I work for a suicide line!

This is 100% accurate! Debt relief, housing, and just generally human beings not having to sacrifice their minds and bodies for basic necessities would cut down the suicide rate by tons!

The Union at my job actively and intentionally made shit way worse, like, hilariously so.

Now I want to do some kind of experiment where I speak things into my phone and see what happens. It still seems too much to be coincidental.

Yes, this is the common statement I am referencing.

How many anecdotal stories before it becomes data? If hundreds of people are saying that this happens and there's no other explanation? Thousands? How many things can be written off as "Oh, something you don't understand is happening, even if we can rule out basically everything." ?

As I said in the original post, the client was contacted by someone over social media about moving to the Phillipines for work. It turned out to be a scam. Nobody else I interacted with made any mention of the Phillipines to me.
