Cloud, blockchain, now AI… They’re all good for some things but I swear the execs making decisions subscribe to my Aunt Fran’s philosophy with cheese: if a little is good, way too much must be even better!

They could have paid every one of those employees nearly 6 figures instead. If the company is doing so badly that they feel they need to lay off a thousand people, they should not be handing out CEO bonuses, period.

Let’s not keep making the mistake of assuming the rule of law matters at this point. If he does something and nobody stops it, its legality or lack there of is moot. If he says to do something and people do it and nobody stops him (or judge’s rulings about it are ignored), then it doesn’t matter that it was illegal.
I know you’re just trying to get people to calm down, but at this point, people are right to be scared and right to think these things could actually come to pass considering it has happened before. Maybe it won’t get that far… But plenty has already happened that should never have happened, and the US currently has a president who is illegally, specifically unconstitutionally, holding office and was allowed to be sworn in anyway, so it’s probably not a good idea to assume this won’t happen just because it’s also unconstitutional.

You can’t accept me using the time I’ve earned? Should I get approval for how I spend my paycheck too?

Holy hell, that’s actually a really good apology, and any company who would be willing to post it, even if written by LLM, would immediately gain at least some respect points from me

Sadly, though, there are a lot of servers who do buy the lie… Doesn’t make any sense to me but I’ve seen plenty argue quite vehemently against ending tips
- Comment on Anon creates a business plan 9 months ago:
Not only that but many of them give you cash back, so if you never carry a balance (and therefore never pay interest), and don’t use it wherever they charge a credit card service fee, it’s basically a free discount almost everywhere.
- Comment on Anon creates a business plan 9 months ago:
Funny thing, we didn’t do chip and pin because the credit card companies thought we were too stupid to figure it out, in spite of the fact that we already used pins for debit cards… We now do have chip and pin, but only for bank/debit cards
