From what I’ve heard, pretty much all FAANG company layoffs in California in the past couple years are: turn in your laptop, all company access blocked, you are still officially an employee for 60 days with pay/benefits, and then you are laid off on the last day. This is what the WARN act forces them to do.

“Brutal. That, folks, is why ya need a union.” Yep, but real brutality is not getting severance at all, which is how it is for plenty of US workers. This is high profile though, so none would be big news, but if they thought they could get away with it they would.

Meanwhile in Iowa, the clowns that run the state are in the process of banning communities from creating police oversight boards https://www.thegazette.com/state-government/iowa-bill-would-ban-citizen-police-review-boards

I cant watch the video at work, but unmarked car and police in street clothes (which is what it sounds like these cops were from the article) cannot expect to be treated like cops when they run up on people.

I’ll be willing to support AI when it’s used to replace the people that make these kinds of decisions.

Both things can be true: the court system failed to convict Johnny Depp because Amber Heard wasn't pure and virginal enough, and Johnny Depp is an abusive piece of shit.

“See more women in the Flight Attendant role in general so the brain takes shortcuts and just assumes.”

Congratulations, you’ve just explained sexism and gender-based bias. And yet you somehow seem to not understand that it’s sexism and gender-based bias you’re talking about. That’s a feat.  Nobody said he meant malice.  That doesn’t mean there’s not harm in it.

Demme didn’t intervene on Glaudini’s behalf

It’s a demonstration of systemic sexism in society. People still assume gender specific jobs and roles and while they may readily accept that there can be male flight attendants, female pilots, female physicians, et cetera, they have to actually think about such things. When they don’t, they automatically revert to…

Stick with me here... The malice isn’t in the intent, but in the ignorance of the assumption.

And is a boomer with 12 kids.

Seriously, women pilots, male flight attendants, women doctors, male nurses*, what is this world coming to?!?!

I’ve heard from a few people in the Navy that women flat out make better pilots. Fighter pilots especially. Anecdata, but something people swore by.

Does he look like the dim-bulb son of the owner of a chain of rural auto dealerships?

I’m surprised he didn’t call her ‘sweetheart’ and then ask her to bring him a Scotch and water.

Came to say this. “Stewardess” isn’t a thing. What if a male flight attendant had shown up? This guy’s head would explode.

She says pilot FOUR times. And then he calls her a stewardess which is still not a correct term for flight attendant.

If he wants to run with stereotypes, let me just say he looks EXACTLY like I expected.

I am shocked, shocked I say, to learn that this guy is a Republican. /s
