Hm, unemployment collection and/or EEOC action for constructive dismissal, cool. My disability is “unable to work when off the clock”.

They didn’t put “AI” in the subject line of the emails, so Microsoft doesn’t care…

Spent $350 on a single cart of groceries today, nearly lost my mind at how bad it’s gotten.

Irony is, a lot of larger office building thermostats are really only there for display purposes (thermometer), not for control purposes (actually functional).

Our profit margin demands you buy over-priced books from our shop

College material monopolies should be illegal, just like all other monopolies. Want to give students an education in the real world? Let the free market determine textbook prices.

Is this the more edgy way to say “enshitification”?

Employees don’t matter in the US.

I use Voyager and my meme consumption quota is fully met

Select “All”, you’ll find them in about 7 out of 10 posts…

It peaked, but stayed there, going on 15+ years…

Messenger apps have do not disturb for a reason. I know many people feel like using that is wrong if you’re actually working, but if your output is a measure of your actual work, reducing interruptions is the only reliable way to ensure it without working even more hours (for free if you’re salary).
