To quote Leona Lansing from The Newsroom, "There's something I don't think you're understanding. You have a PR problem because you have an actual problem."

“No no no, you don’t need to unionize, remember, we have your best interests at heart, who better to defend the sheep than the wolf one paygrade above them? (also, please don’t unionize)“

Okay, I realize you mean well, but this post is significantly unhelpful in terms of providing useful information. It’s also flat-out wrong in some respects. Did you even trade emails with any helmet standards guys before posting this? I’ll try to address things in an orderly fashion.

In it, he apparently encouraged employees to let the handling of these issues remain internal, including when it came to a question about staff unionizing. “The best way for protection is reaching out to your supervisors, hotline and avenues,” Taub responded, according to UppercutCrit.

Corporations don’t work. I was a part of corporation XYZ and all they cared about was the money. They did nothing for the employees.

The board is probably fine with this behavior as long as the money’s rolling in.

Don’t bother with this one. You’ll never get a reasonable discussion out of them, just a lot of reheated Fox News bad takes.

Good on the employees. Now if only software and game devs would also just unionize so we can organize some slightly more effective industry wide actions.

Yeah, no clue how I did that. I feel bad.

What an unmitigated disaster.

This is a pretty classic case of Bureaucratic Double-Down. What’s happening now is they realized they fucked up, but are too prideful to backtrack. It’s easier for the government entity to go “Well it’s because we say so”. The only remedy right now is for some Delica enthusiast to sue the state, and then the facts…

Even the police statement of what happened is pretty shitty.  A pretextual stop used to do what should be an illegal search of someone going about their day. 

In the same way that police expect people to not “act suspiciously”after being stopped for fear of getting arrested or even shot, this cop was acting super suspiciously with that bag *even* if it was unintentional.

A run into similar arguments here (alberta, and our oil industry of which i am apart)

If a game is even able to break a GPU, that's a flaw in the hardware.

Repeating what others have said...

They are going to sit on some cards to replace cards that, inevitably, end up not working when the customer receives them. It happens sometimes and is no-ones fault. But if they are like “Aww, your EVGA card broke when you got it? Tough luck, we can’t do anything.” then guess what?…

Yeah, no. While I’m pissed at quite a few people for this because it was eminently preventable (there was some deliberate underestimates for cost cutting on launch demand) the shortage itself isn’t from AIBs at all anyways and most of the bad behavior lies elsewhere. The creation of new fabs is incredibly slow (the…

Of course they sit on a small stock of cards.  A percentage of these cards are going to have defects and if they don’t have cards on hand for RMA requests it would reflect poorly upon them.

“Calling out bad faith arguments is the same as making bad faith arguments” is not a convincing...argument.
