Ah, this year’s edition of “Halloween is problematic, time to be offended by everything”. Its must be exhausting to be on the lookout for things to be offended by 24/7. Do you crowdsource your outrage search or do you all have a fire watch schedule and take turns being on the lookout for things that might be…
Palantir just does it for a safety focus vs a commercial focus. Creepy.
Nothing like the deplorables going out on top with a ton of class. Disgusting.
If you’re up for it, I’d say go for it. Doesn’t sound any worse than a regular warehouse job (and I’ve worked a few). Hell, I’d love to be able to walk 7-15 miles a day at work and keep off all the holiday weight.
Now there’s nice objective journalism, trawling for horror stories about working for a company that I’m betting everyone at the Gizmodo offices has used at one time or another. It’s good to see Yellow Journalism is still alive and well.
Do it. These articles are sensational bullshit. “Oh no, this work is too much like work!”
I’m looking forward to a story in the future where everyone starts complaining about how the jobs in the amazon warehouse are gone due to the use of automation.
So the horror is that the employees are forced to walk, instead of being allowed to lounge and do nothing, and they are expected to not steal, and are shamed for doing so? The direction of the mentality of the general populus leaves me with a bleak view of the future. That is the true horror.
Never, ever, go down the slippery slope of allowing homeless camps.
Why shouldn’t you have to pay a fee for it?
To get a another perspective on this...it’s pretty standard in my field of work (product design/branding. for people to be in house freelance full time, semi permanently (6 months-couple years) then eventually they are forced to take a full time role or move on to somewhere else. Most everybody I know declines full…
Feeds on acorns, that’s good meat.
If we’re doing soy sauce, kombu, etc. then bonito flakes should make the list!!!! Mmmmmm
I had an interview some time back for what looked like a great job, one I could build into the sort of thing I would enjoy doing. The last interview was with the guy that would have been my immediate supervisor. As the meeting wsa ending he noted that my current salary was more than his boss was getting paid & much…
Turkey. Buffalo—and pemmican. Wild rice (not actually a rice). Corn, cornbread, hominy. Beans. Squashes and pumkins. All the lobster and clams and oysters and crabs and lobsters that used to crowd the Eastern seabord and the Chesapeake Bay. Salmon and salmon and salmon and salmon. Whales (sorry whales). Cranberries,…
The handles are only needed once now anyway. Manufacturers have done away with the two sided mattresses to increase profits. Turning a mattress only does so much.
These are great additions (I’d also include salt—o wait it’s the lastitem— butter/ghee, sesame oils, glorious msg, etc), but I’d say:
Corn flakes
If fish is an acceptable addition, then I have to wonder why bacon isn’t mentioned.
I had a similar experience with two separate interviews for a satellite TV company (guess which one, you’ll probably nail it). The first interview was for a job which was about as legal as running around an elementary school in a scary clown outfit - it was pretty much corporate espionage, spying on competitors. When…
