Isn't this what Glassdoor started as? I remember it was a place to look up companies, find out how they tested employees, get interview tips, get salary ranges, etc. Then it got rid of anonymity and sold out and now it's just propaganda for the companies that it initially meant to review

Work is transactional. I show up, they pay me. What else would it be? This is not how I view my life outside of work, my relationships, or my friendships. But work is 100% a transaction.

Missing time with your family for work is an awful precedent to set. A lot of people don't give a shit about their work and don't care to let it take away from their life.

If I am interviewing, I'm going in with the mindset that I am selling my body/mind to the highest bidder for 8 hours a day, every day, for the foreseeable future. Any time outside of that, I am not thinking about the employer at all. If you and your company aren't the highest bidder, you aren't worth my time.

Ah yes, "nobody wants to work anymore, and I know that because these entitled college grads decided to work a different job instead of the shitty one I offered them."

If people are going through the effort to take an interview (usually multiple rounds) and go all the way through the process until an offer is made and then still don't accept the job, then that is 50% on the hiring manager not being upfront about working conditions, pay, and other benefits throughout the process and 50% on the company for not offering adequate pay and benefits that match the work. This is 0% on the person who had their time wasted by the interview process. They were obviously worth more than what they were offered as evidenced by receiving a better offer somewhere else.

Oh for sure, and further down in the thread they try to link her to the deaths of Aaron Schwartz and (somehow) Kurt Cobain. I'm not trying to say this is correct at all. Just responding to the question about her being a big Wikipedia editor.

Edit: here's a hacker news thread that claims to debunk the theory

There was some "evidence" that she was a reddit power user. I had forgotten about it until just now, so I haven't looked back into any of these claims or followed any of it since then, but here is a thread:

I'm assuming COVID had something to do with it. Those photos are 3 and 4 years ago, and people are wearing masks.

The issue I have with Hoopla is that you can't read on an ereader as far as I can tell. You need to read books through their app on your phone. I much prefer e-ink so I avoid Hoopla if I can

I knew this was Madrid! That whole row of bonsai in the botanical garden is impressive. And they have most labeled with age and origin. Really fun place to walk around.

I think that's the point of the tweet. Wasn't there a big part of the campaign where they were calling her out for being a fake doctor? Like, they were insinuating that she was lying by calling herself "Dr. Jill Biden" when she didn't have an MD. This seems like an extension of that - "see, she's obviously not a real doctor because she didn't diagnose this cancer earlier"

I don't want to be cold. I want to be comfortable. I want to not sweat. And for that to happen, I need the room to be cold.
