  I’d be a lot more tolerant of people buying whatever they wanted if what they bought wasn’t so goddamn offensive and dangerous

  huge, loud, blinding headlights, blocks my view of the road, they always fucking pull up past the stop line so you can’t see if it’s safe to turn right on red, they have to hammer the gas to accelerate decently because they’re massive, they can’t fucking see anything around them because of blind spots and so they are always trying to back into people walking in parking lots, etc

  my 08 outback with no lift and my old 99 tercel base model have been more off-road than 80% of vehicles that people bought because they might need to drive down a maintained gravel road to a parking lot to start a hike

  I’m in Ontario, but a lot of our customers are plants in the US or Mexico and some of our suppliers are in the US.

  WFH seems quite common. all of our meetings are done over MS Teams anyways (which is a very effective format for technical reviews with multiple people presenting and sharing info). a lot of our suppliers clearly have salespeople or technical experts that are working from home (or in the case of sales people, probably travelling). it’s actually maybe slightly more rare than not that somebody turns their camera on and it’s of a meeting room with multiple people. we have customer meetings weekly for active projects and there’s anywhere from 4-20 people from the customer’s end in the call. some of them are clearly in the plant or office judging from background noise, but the office staff are sometimes WFH. it’s less common for staff at manufacturing plants though, given the nature of the job, including the office staff.

  within my role (automated machine design), WFH is not super common. older managers are reluctant to hire staff who ask about remote work options, in my experience, despite themselves making use of that flexibility as appropriate (i.e. “not feeling great today and will be working from home”).

  within my circle of friends family and acquaintances, I’d say maybe 25% are work from home? and the majority of those are in tech (software, IT, etc) or “boring office jobs” like non-customer facing bank staff. most of the people in a similar role to me actually work in the office, I’m the exception among my friends. obvs everyone in trades or customer service is on site, call that 60% of my circle. and then maybe the last 15% is hybrid

  automation industry is a bit different when not in a recession. over time is almost always available. every project could get done sooner, especially with automotive customers

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The bosses are never going to just hand workers a 32 hour workweek.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  it hasn’t been doubled my whole working career. though to be fair I’m only in my 30s. I am aware of a couple companies that did double time on Sundays, which predictably resulted in employees gaming the system to sit in the office on Sundays and watch Netflix.

  “good” companies around here will pay overtime over your base hours, which is typically 40 hours. the legal minimum is to pay 1.5x regular rate after 44 hours. pretty much every company does the legal minimum of 1.5 times regular rate for overtime

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The bosses are never going to just hand workers a 32 hour workweek.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  yes, I am hourly and get paid for my OT. unfortunately not above base hours at 1.5x rate though, that’s only at the legal requirement of over 44 hours. bit of a mistake on the company’s end, there, as it doesn’t encourage OT since if I’m only going to work 46ish hours this week, why even bother since I’m only making 1.5x on two of those extra six hours

  I am always a bit surprised when people ask me that tho lol because like fuck no I would not work for free

  I’m “lucky” to have the option of a compressed 4x10 work week

  the Friday off is beautiful. if I had a commute, doing that 20% less often that would be a big plus too. but the fact that this is presented as a perk and not a standard option, as well as the requirement to often work on my “weekend” (Friday aka unscheduled day) kind of makes it less of a perk

  I think it’s pricing

  I got a friend who bought a RAM last year. he was previously hauling construction equipment in his partner’s crossover and his own sedan. a pickup was an appropriate buy

  HOWEVER he got a RAM (thankfully no LED headlights, though they are mounted way too high still), and tbh I’m not really sure what his alternatives were. “small” pickups like the Maverick are too small, and expensive

  also he’s like 6’4" 250+lb so he physically needs a bigger cabin lol

  547 times? including red lights and school zones?

  shoot 'em and be done with it. no place for this person in society, and there’s nowhere on earth that deserves having them dropped there

  I went on a date recently where she checked that I knew she was 3-4 years older than me (both in our thirties)
