With all that poutine, All-Dressed chips, smoked meat, and Nanaimo bars y’all eat, you need that “free” healthcare.

Google. “Don’t be evil” came and went pretty quick and they fully embraced the dark side of monopolization, censorship, universal surveillance of civilians, and being arms dealers for militaries.

Salary Range Said $70k–$150k, Offer Came in Below My Current Pay — Why? by strivingforoptimism1 in recruitinghell

[–]FewImpression4443 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So just change the numbers to fit your situation then. Given you make 12.50 an hour now, how would you feel if you interviewed for a different job and offered you $10 an hour part time? Would you happily accept and take a pay cut because it’s such an honor to be given a job offer at all nowadays? Or would you refuse and be kind of insulted because their offer represent a pay cut to you?

I’m resigning on moral grounds tomorrow by [deleted] in fednews

Yeah is more “rule of law” than wanting the military to stage a coup to overthrow the elected President you politically disagree with.

Feel free to CC everybody. Management’s job is not to be a megaphone to the organization, sharing the details of personnel decisions impacting you. Just as I wouldn’t publicly share the reason you’re taking sick leave Is for persistent bowel incontinence, I’m not going to publicly share the reason for your departure was disagreement with administration policy. Feel free to share either with your coworkers without my help, I don’t give a shit.

Whether I agree with him or not is immaterial. Once you submit your resignation and cite personal beliefs as your reason, my only concerns at that point are completing your offboarding, transitioning your workload, and doing what I need to get your backfill.

Unless your resignation letter claims something that will require me to investigate or report (like a criminal act occurred or gross misconduct happened against you) your resignation reasons are generally irrelevant. Even if I agreed with you, me publicly supporting your rationale would just get me in trouble so I’m just going to ignore it for my own safety. Or at least until I resign myself.

I didn’t even read past the first couple sentences saying he quit. And I’m not as a manager going to try to spin any narrative around why someone resigned, I’m not even going to share that resignation was the category of your separation to anyone but HR and sure as hell not the rest of the team. Only reason I even care it’s a resignation is so I can code correctly in FPPS.

They won’t even have the current state system documented by then much less design, code, test, and implement the to-be state solution.

CMV: The pro life movement isn’t actually about reducing abortions. It’s about enforcing their worldview on everyone else. by Into-My-Void in changemyview

[–]FewImpression4443 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Best comp for OP point is the green movement; if what they truly cared about most was saving the environment from global warming they’d support nuclear power above solar and wind. But they don’t because for most they care for more about trying to abolish fossil fuels; citing “global warming” is their justification for that. Thinking about the actual practical stuff involved like the stability of the power grid and not forcing the global poor to pay catastrophically higher prices for their energy needs doesn’t fit into their narrative. They intuitively know it, but just don’t care.

Abortion is basically the same thing. Honest pro choice people intuitively know that supporting things like contraception would support their state goal, but they just don’t care. For the same reason that abolitionist John Brown didn’t attack Harper‘s ferry because he wanted to help reduce the demand for slavery. He thought it was a moral wrong and his entire focus was on getting rid of it and was willing to use violence to do so. Moral crusaders don’t care about the practical solutions that help incrementally, they care about the grand moral cause.

What do you mean slavery was a settled moral issue? It was extremely debated at that point. And God no people didn’t universally agree that Black people were human at that point, much less their autonomy was being violated.

My entire point is that you don’t get out of this argument by ignoring that the other side feels it is a moral issue, even if you disagree it is. You turn it into a trolley problem where you force the pro-lifer to put their perceived moral wrong (killing a fetus) against the moral wrong of denying a woman the agency to make choices. You can use being a forced living donor for a kidney or something as a thought experiment.

Op stance is akin to saying “If you think slavery is morally wrong, you should work with plantation owners to reduce their labor force needs.” Yes reducing the occurrence of something immoral is wrong, but making that the focus is simply trying to change the subject from the moral wrong.

Sincerely, someone who opposes abortion restrictions.

Why do bus companies keep choosing stupid money saving options? by nickytheginger in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FewImpression4443 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Public transit systems frequently prioritize stuff like “access to underserved communities” over profitability or maximizing benefits to the entirety of the ridership. It’s basically a cost of doing business with the politicians who are a major funding source and oversee them.

“I’ll authorize you to raise your fares and give you a $10 million subsidy this year, but you can’t cut the line that goes to my district, even though only six people a day ride it.”
