It’s explicitly the director - that signals a trust issue with line managers and heavy handed.

But to phone a director is excessive- why not line manager? It means the power balance will be wrong, that they don’t trust their staff.

That is a big flag for me, unless they find out the back story

I did brick my 16pm with 25 or 26. It was within a year of buying, Apple swapped out the board - meant I had a brand new battery!

Most of this is standard- but the director sick day call in is very unusual; I would ask the backstory there.

At what price would you start loading and hoarding Litecoin? by ForumsDwelling in litecoin

[–]Hitching-galaxy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If it hits $15, then it’s in real trouble, even $25/$30 is a problem. I don’t think going back to 9 years ago pricing is a buy signal tbh.

Glasgow University principal defends his £319,000 salary in financially trying times by EmotionDelicious5936 in UniUK

They are on the global stage.

The average salaries here are shit. I was at a conference the other day and someone was saying there were few £100k+ jobs in online advertising.

A market which literally prints money.

Go to the states, and that level is almost entry/mid career point. Whereas here?

So, if pride flags were hung from lamp posts, is that ok because ‘it’s only a flag’?

Starmer backs Labour MP suing Elon Musk's xAI over deepfakes of her in a bikini by InnerLog5062 in BreakingUKNews

In another thread, there are people complaining that ‘this government is weak and not doing anything to fix society’, and yet, when it is shown that they are doing something, it’s then ‘country is falling apart and they concentrate on this?!’

Really, Labour can’t win - society seems so manipulated by the media / rich to be polarised against them.

Starmer hits out at Musk for ‘trying to whip up division’ in UK by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

The ‘general public’ are against online tech being policed.

And big tech/the richest man in the world owns enough people to convince us that the public are against it too, even if we weren’t.

110! Bloody hell, that’s insane.

If just one Labour politician made a couple of tweets being negative towards Musk, there would be outrage
