Jesus. I hope all the fuckery is done by the 16th. MCEC is the only place I can park when I have to go into our city office.

Nah. Won’t let me access at all unless I login.

Looks like The Guardian is putting some news behind logins now. Shame.

If your strategy as an employer is how to keep your people in indentured servitude, that makes you a cunt. Be a good boss - help your employees achieve their goals and get to the next step in their career. That will help you attract newer talent when you need it.

Oh, sure. I get that. Sending yourself reminders is absolutely understandable. Sending yourself documented evidence of your plans to defraud someone is entirely different.

I use Shortcuts with NFC tags to automate some stuff with HA, and could probably achieve something on an entity by entity basis.

My point is that we used to have the ability to put a widget on the screen with about 6 or 8 entities on it, for simple, single-click access. And now we don't. Seems silly to have taken it away from us.

In a 2017 email to himself, Smith calculated that he could stream his songs 661,440 times daily, potentially earning $3,307.20 per day and up to $1.2 million annually.

Great idea, but why would you email yourself about it?

Maybe the cop lives there, decided to bring his work with him

Isn't the picture from Logan?

lol - what abuse? He said these things in an earnings presentation, probably to board and investors.

All I'm saying is that the headline itself smacks of outrage reporting, and there's no more substance in the article itself to add context to what he said, and how. So, I choose to engage a little critical thinking and consider that he might have been responding to a investor question along the lines of, "This is a mining company - why the fuck are you spending money on a restaurant and childcare centre?".

And I don't see any evidence anywhere that his people are enduring shit jobs. Their building has a restaurant, a gym and a childcare centre. Putting aside his choice of words, it sounds like he's investing heavily in trying to alleviate employee pain points, so he gets the best out of them. I'm not seeing anything anywhere where he's forcing people to work long hours, or for shit pay, or under any number of other shitty circumstances.

Like I said: outrage reporting.

Later in the same comment I mention how I think social media only benefits the corporations that run it.

It’s pretty clear what I meant.
