Got a new Rav4 after a decade and a half with my Mariner, and I’m appalled at the removal of radio buttons, with the only way to change the radio actually buried within several clicks. It took me 23 seconds to have to have my eyes off the road to change the radio station. I get it, they want us to have to pay extra…

Iger returned from the freaking dead to pick more flesh from the corpse of Disney to try to boost the stock price for him and his buddies to sell high. Now he’s gone over the edge and is tearing the company apart, happy to sell the pieces off in a fire sale as long as he gets his and can afford that new yacht.

Problem is, as soon as he realizes the entire country outside of Florida has rejected him, he’s set it up so he didn’t have to take any actual RISKS like giving up his existing job as Governor. Which means he’ll just withdraw to Florida and do even more to turn it into a petty hellscape as he licks his wounds and…

In addition, residuals don’t just come from someone watching the content. Anywhere the content is marketed — in search listings, on a page describing the details — would also require payment of residuals based solely on the display of the actors in the poster/graphics. So streaming services have to pay actors…

Right, the excuse that working together is helpful for people early in their careers is nonsense. What helps people early in their careers? Being able to compete for key roles without having to afford living in a HCOL location. Being able to perform a role without spending a hundred or more on just commuting and…

This, exactly.  We had executives who had personal offices and external meeting seating that couldn’t be used by the “regular” employees even when those execs weren’t in the office -- and since they lived on the opposite coast of the country, they weren’t in the office more than 10 days out of the entire year.  But…

Exactly! My current CEO is on the board of at least 5 different companies, and getting paid handsomely for it. This is how those CEOs enrich themselves, by bringing their buddies onto boards of other companies and organizations like the ballet. They get paid a high level engineer’s annual salary to show up to a two…

Yes! I have this in the bottom panel of the windows in my bathrooms. It’s much higher quality than back in the 70s. If you cut it perfectly, it will look like it’s made to be there. And it keeps people using the bathroom from having to stare into the neighboring house or yard and worry about peepers lol.

That’s a problem with the managers, not the employees.  If a manager can’t tell by the employee’s capacity and velocity if they’re working or not, neither of them need to be employed.  Having a crappy company culture where there’s no accountability isn’t a good reason to deny an entire generation more freedom and to…

1) It isn’t up to your coworkers to be your friends.  Make friends in other ways. 2) It’s still very, very easy to have a connected, collaborative environment remotely.  I built an entirely new team during the quarantine and using the tools available ensured they had a robust team culture and were able to feel very…

This guy has no idea what real “work” is.  He think strolling around and yelling at underlings is work, like most CEOs, so he can’t comprehend how he’s useful if he doesn’t have people in the office to boss around.  Hot tip: Most CEOs are a waste of money.  

No.  No, you should not ever have a job where another adult YELLS at you about work.  Unless you are putting someone’s life at risk, no grown adult should ever YELL in the workplace.  Like, oh, a report is late, and someone’s going to yell about it?  They need to get some freaking therapy and be removed from the…

Just let us f-ing work from home already.

But they can start putting all the money toward the California park, or even a new one, and let the Florida parks just... exist. Hardcore fans freak out if they see dirt on a ride, but if Disney can just shrug and say “talk to your elected representative about it” and reiterate that the Republicans are why Disney has…

Eat the freaking rich. How these empty figureheads can stand there with their massive income and inform the people who actually build things for the company that they deserve LESS this year (because not getting an 8% increase for inflation is causing them to have less income) is disgusting.

I had a mom and two older sisters available, and wasn’t in an overly Christian household, and was extremely well-read even as a little kid. I think I read “Are You There, God? It’s me, Margaret” probably at 8 or so? But as for most kids, the parts that I only vaguely understood I glossed over. But because my mom…

Plus, PPD isn’t just general depression — it can get EXTREME. My older sister tried desperately to give her second baby to me. She tried to convince me using a long, curated list she’d though through about how much better it would be, how much her other son would suffer with this new baby around, all sorts of…

Classic message, disregard your physical suffering and exhaustion every single second because you don’t matter, only the baby!

I learned about unwanted “cervical checks” that don’t really give doctors much useful information but are still pushed on laboring patients, which, to anybody who has experienced medical or sexual trauma, can add to the fear and pain of an already frightening and painful process.

I’m not the one telling people they shouldn’t waste their time judging responses on the internet.  I do it all the time! For fun! And unlike you I’m not a hypocrite about it.
