- Comment on Want happier employees? Start with a 32-hour workweek – and 4 weeks vacation. 2 weeks ago:
No. Happier employees almost always do make the line go up in the long term, but most employers don’t understand that, can’t look further ahead than the next quarter, and think of an employee is happy it’s a sign they must be slacking off.

- Comment on unnecessary expense 5 weeks ago:
That’s meaningless pedantry that doesn’t contribute to the discussion or alter the message in any way, but go ahead and give yourself a pat on the back for showing everyone how very, very smart you are.
- Comment on Musk shares post that Hitler didn’t kill millions, public workers did. Union rages 2 months ago:
No.
This sort of argument both minimises his accountability for his actions by blaming factors outside his control, and is incredibly insulting to the millions of people with actual mental disabilities who manage not to be racist assholes.
Elon is a Nazi, full stop.
- Comment on Meta seeks to block further sales of ex-employee’s scathing memoir 2 months ago:
The book is a “mix of out-of-date and previously reported claims about the company and false accusations about our executives,” a Meta spokesman, Andy Stone, said in a statement.
Asshole implying misdeeds can only be reported on once, and they must be recent, otherwise they just don’t count? Fuck off…
- Comment on Gen Z is ‘task masking’ in the workplace. How harmful is it? 2 months ago:
What a fuckin’ joke. By the title blaming “Gen Z,” the implication is that those newer to the work force - ie, entry level and junior positions - are most guilty of this, when later in the article it points out management and executives engage in “fauxductivity” at higher rates, and that it’s far from a new phenomenon.
I’m not a zoomer, but this bullshit is often a pretty significant part of my day. I work in an industrial facility in a maintenance role, and all of our regular work is planned and scheduled in advance. We wrap up all our jobs for the day, and that’s it - we can’t just go out and start turning wrenches on live equipment. Might kill a bit of time tidying up the shop and trucks, follow up on some orders, but beyond that there’s not much to do. Current supervision is pretty chill because they know how it is, but it still feels like a bad look to be spending the last couple hours of the day sitting with my feet up, staring at my phone. And at the last place I worked, we’d actually get in shit for not appearing busy no matter how empty the schedule was.
