Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Should anyone remember in the negotiation period in the lead up to the contract deadline, Corporate UPS' negotiation team played chicken with the Teamsters Union to the point many large companies that were utilizing their services flat out stopped and moved to utilize other companies services to maintain their own stability.

This, in addition to the growth of costs from the company's abuse of part-timers being worked just under full-time hours being penalized under the new contract allowing them to make overtime after 5 hours, and the simmering escalation of the trade war against China by the Biden regime has caused a significant enough loss of revenue that - from my own sources in the company - corporate is planning to gut themselves to the bone even more than they're telling the news by firing employees to the point the company can minimally function.

Meaning that everyone that is not a part of upper corporate that is deemed unessential, regardless of length of service to the company, can be fired in the coming months.
