I genuinely think the standard workday should be 10 a.m.–3 p.m. or 9 a.m.–2 p.m. There’s no reason people should spend the majority of their lives at work. Let people get home with enough time to be with their families, partners, and friends, pursue hobbies, and actually rest. A lot of today’s burnout and unhappiness comes from the fact that work consumes almost all of our waking hours.
This is your friendly reminder that data centers don't actually need water. They need a cooling system and are using water because it's the cheapest way to do it.
Good it’s absolutely diabolical that any company thinks it’s ok to advertise without a salary. We work for money, that’s it. Not for fun, not for joy, but to pay our bills and keep ourselves fed and sheltered. Acting otherwise is insane.
I worked nights at Woolies during uni.
There were always stacks of perfectly good rotisserie chickens and fresh bakery items left at closing.
At first, night staff could take them home free or heavily discounted. Then head office banned it - no markdowns, no staff takeaways.
Every night I’d throw 20+ good chickens and piles of bread in the bin.
One coworker took a couple home for her kids. She got caught and was fired.
They wouldn’t even donate to charities or food banks.
