  • Seems the strikes are starting to work. Not quite there yet as ac still isn’t guaranteed

    But it incentivized due to extra pay during hot conditions

    In what is likely an industry first, the workers at Homegrown won language in their union contract in March that could help with that. The workers fought for a clause that allows them to receive time-and-a-half pay when temperatures in the store reach 82 degrees Fahrenheit and double pay when store temperatures reach 86 degrees F. (According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, when a workplace reaches 77 degrees F, it becomes potentially unsafe for workers to engage in “strenuous work.”)
















  • Works well? In relation to what? Carrier pigeons? Did you forget the /S ?

    The only thing I’ve seen it do well is share recorded videos almost immediately.

    It doesn’t even send messages as you’d expect. It’ll show sent on your side but the other person never gets it

    Someone calls and it rings, but the answer button has a 50% chance of not being there so you can’t actually join unless it’s a group call and then you can after it rings for 30 seconds and you don’t even know who called unless they ping you saying they’re calling

    Sharing your screen takes a few tries occasionally and sometimes requires you to rejoin the call

    Notifications? What notifications. They work so rarely it’s become a habit to manually check every few minutes

    And it opens docs in teams!? Who wants that hot garbage

    And the freezing! It regularly freezes for 20 seconds when doing anything in it

    I’d gladly take Skype over the garbage that teams is

    And if that wasn’t bad enough, it’s apparently such trash that it triggers me when someone has anything nice to say about teams. Sorry 😅



  • I agree. It’s a terrible idea for many reasons. The fact that we can’t trust something like that to run in good faith is among the top of those reasons.

    The comment I was responding to was saying this proposed law would strip our ability to speak our mind because it would create a new 3rd party group that would validate each post before allowing them online.

    I was pointing out that making specific content illegal is not the same as having every post scrutinized before it goes live.
