The same reason parallel parking is done backing in.
- Comment on Windows: we noticed that you kept the useless search bar disabled since 2015, so we sent an update that re-enabled it without your permission 1 year ago:
You’re literally the only one talking about buying it, and it’s not YOUR software, it brlongs to Microsoft. Your boss just rents it and makes a profit having you work on it.

Yeah dude, just make a new account. If you’re attached to your account the govts use that against.

I guess the problem from an idealistic standpoint is fine, let them sue. Hosting an instance is not about being profitable. Do what you need to do as far as shell corporation and all that to protect your personal finances, or just close the instance instead of censoring.
Now, it’s just an instance that is perpetuating unfair systems of power, instance of helping to democratize the internet.

I guess I believe you that it’s like that in much of the world, but in the US small to medium businesses are very “family oriented.” The richest people in a small city/area are very interconnected with personal relationships.

Yes, and yes.

Yeah, obviously can’t go 100% every day without burning out, but if 75% is the ideal sustainable rate, most of us should work at 50% if management won’t reward us appropriately.

any productivity gains benefit the business not the employee.
Yes, and that’s a problem in the US. Other countries are much better about it, and we need to change to catch up to best practices for worker’s rights!

but the simple fact of the matter is that most office-based employers don’t own any commercial real estate
That’s not a fact. The reality is that all these rich assholes are friends with each other. The owner of the wholesale business is friends with the owner of the building and friends with the owner of the vendors and friends with the owner of the retailers. They all go on camping trips and to each other’s kids weddings.
The owner of the business renting the office space might not literally own the building, but they’re all friends.

Exactly.
We had a slow day at work we knew was going to be slow. I wfh most mornings and then commute in. Decided to just take my time got to the office an hour later than usual. My goddman coworker called our supervisor and let him know I wasn’t in. For what? There was nothing for me to do all day, except a half hour of work later in thr afternoon I easily could have done at home.
But my coworker didn’t like that. So he had to call my boss who was on PTO and let him know. (He left at 2PM because there was nothing to do though.) He’s not even my supervisor but he still had to throw his weight around for no reason.
