Counterpoint: name an employer who doesn’t expect compliance with corporate policies on corporate time?

“they’ll be stuck in one social strata forever”

That’s not a legally relevant decision. The first amendment protects you against government action against speech. Public school districts (like in the case you cited) and public universities have less discretion than a basketball team or the NBA because they are “state actors.” The NBA and it’s teams are NOT state…

This reeks of total bullshit. I am a season ticket holder for an NBA team. Nobody in my section gives a fuck if they go as “black” as they want. If anyone did, they probably bailed in the 90s. The NBA is miles ahead of other leagues as far as that goes.

I know it’s speculative fiction and all, but the concept falls apart for people in the lowest paying jobs, i.e. people in menial labour positions who couldn’t work if they underwent the procedure. It doesn’t actually do anything except for bloggers and scriptwriters. It’s john galt all over again great for the…

There are other jobs. No one is holding a gun to their head. And BTW nobody was hiding these salaries while they were in college deciding what to study. Is this a failure to help oneself, poor planning, or stubbornness. You dont always get what you want.

Yeah, that’s what I don’t get. I mean sure “sex worker” is one of the oldest jobs in history, but that’s not an option I’d resort to when there are in fact more ways to make a few extra bucks. If a Mexican lady can sustain her household selling fruit on the street, why pretend selling their body is the only option.

When will people learn that “I had no idea that everybody I hired was crooked!” Doesn’t make you look innocent, it makes you look incompetent.

And law schools. My old history program stopped asking me to talk to undergrads about what you can do with a history degree when I started telling them that they can use their history degree to get another degree that will eventually get them a job. (Law is another one. I went to school with lots of people who went on…

I think, in general, humanities degrees should return to where they were in the 19th Century: For people rich enough they don’t need to be economically productive. It’s a shame so much of university life is centered around “traditional” majors that don’t serve society’s need for an educated workforce. English and…

I have an academic background and left for industry. The adjunct problem is, to me, a problem of supply. We graduate too many phds, and too many are unwilling or unable to get a job outside of the academic market. It is hard to overstate how strongly students are encouraged to pursue a university job, particularly…

The unintended consequences of “everyone should go to college”.

3 things.

ffs unless you are growing and/or stealing your own food, and marking and/or bartering for the rest of literally anything you possess, shut up already.

It actually gets MUCH more capitalist and bourgeoisie than a 20-something running a Twitter account to respond to complaints regarding famous hamburgers

Here’s the reality of survival under capitalism: I applied for upwards of 100 jobs after I graduated from college with a journalism degree. I couldn’t even get a seasonal cashier position at the mall. That’s how I ended up in marketing. Do I feel bad about it? Sure, it’s not what I’d hoped for. But I’m not $12,000 in…

That’s not even close to the point she was making.
