I think the author just puts a sepia tint on every photo for some reason.

“only the dumbest people will fall for it”

They’re already talking to the MAGAits.

To be scrupulously fair, nobody wanted it shot down over land. Some Republicans were just bored and wanted an excuse to yell at Biden.

“Number of articles” quota.

Auto-brightness works perfectly about 95% of the time for me.  That 5% of the time that has weird lighting conditions, I just manually adjust it with two swipes.  It seems odd to me that anyone struggles with this excellent feature on modern phones.

I do this as well. I don’t know what the issue is.

His Russian was not that good.  When they put a gun to his head, they were asking him “Where’s moose and squirrel?”

Yes, plenty of people still believe him: those same idiot viewers/voters.

Honestly, does anybody still believe a single word this guy says anymore. He’s a known, proven, compulsive liar, on par with his wannabe idol Putin. Hell, it’s even come out that everybody at Fox News even knew he was lying, but went along reporting his lies for positive ratings from their idiot viewers.

The crap job photoshopping in the stupid MAGA hat is really just the icing on the whole shitcake!

The team I’m on is spread out across at least six sites across four countries, so even if the members who are in a given location are sitting right next to each other, our collaboration is still done via Zoom. Everyone knows that that excuse is crap. The CEOs might be so far out of touch with reality that they don’t…

Correct. I ask senior leadership every all hands for quantitative proof that RTO increases productivity and they cant cite a single actual thing to support it.

What a load of shit. They keep talking about how forcing people back into the office is supposed to help the worker. Yet the actual workers don’t agree. They can’t pinpoint one good reason to force workers back into the office so they make up garbage about how they’re doing it for you.

That’s because there isn’t any. People who enjoy watercooler chit-chat may find that those conversations are useful. People (like me) who actively avoid it will never find it helpful, and are more productive working remotely precisely because they don’t get roped into these unproductive side quests.

This is nothing to do with worker productivity or creativity or any of that. Like 90% of all RTO policies being rolled out, it’s entirely about the fact that Amazon over-invested in real estate during their pre-Pandemic boom, and is now starting to sweat about how much overhead they’re paying for real estate compared…

It’s also to allow wiggle room for certain people who they don’t want to quit for competitors. There are plenty of employees at a company this large who never worked in an office pre-pandemic because the didn’t have to for various reasons related to role, team, or individual.

Being in the office allowed workers to “absorb” Amazon’s culture and collaborate in easier and more effective ways, the CEO stated. It also enabled people to learn from each other and fomented greater team connections, he said.

Their first demand should be for him to share the data used to arrive at the decision, including self-reporting through internal surveys and data from recruiting about how this will affect prospective employees base on what happened last time they almost implemented this policy before backtracking. If it’s based on…

“Not everyone will be required to be in the office three days a week, he pointed out, but the exceptions will be limited.”

Yeah, we tried that too, it didn’t work. Good luck to them, though. The most remote work in the market the better.
