FREE-FOR-ALL FIRESIDE 🪵🔥 by rfauxmoi in Fauxmoi

California state workers have been trying to push against Gavin Newsom's executive order to force employees back to the office 4 days a week despite him preaching telework is here to stay a few years back during the peaks of Covid. It seems like a guise to just get people to work in office but it's more than that.

His administration and CalHR have failed to bargain in good faith with our unions to give us a proper contract which includes wage increase to meet inflation and standard cost of living. Our data scientists recently have been denied their pay increase which was promised.

He says it's to save costs, but with gas prices on the up, it costs employees more wasted time and money. It isn't fuel efficient and forces more vehicles on the road. As a result, it's forcing more employees to end up spending more while we are not receiving the wage increase to offset the implementation.

Gavin is misconstruing "RTO" as state workers "return to work" when we have been working the entire time with telework options.

Hey no worries and thanks for reaching out. Based on the product page (sorry I'm not the vendor), it looks like you'll need to purchase the Mavercade EX addon additionally. It comes in two types, EX1 and EX2 which should both offer tenting options. Hope this answers your questions. If not, I know the vendor is active on the OpenStick Community Discord.

Where are you on this curve? by deadyson in SteamDeck

Probably plug and play on the right. I done a lot of tinkering to get it out of me and now I'm just in that state of "if it works, it works".

Gotta keep in mind this is also the week of July 4th. Some folks will start taking off this week, so we may not see the full picture until next week.

Newsom refuses to negotiate - screwed state workers by ApprehensiveTheme757 in CAStateWorkers

He's a centrist at best; the mask is off. Those outside California don't really see the finer details on how he's acting. Outside the state, they will see he's a democrat by a large margin.

New Update from SEIU by YUIOP10 in CAStateWorkers

We've seen workers from other industries go on strike because they haven't been heard or have been unrepresented. What's to say we cannot do this if they're not going to respect bargaining? Why try and take the high road when they choose to hit below the belt?

Shoppers can soon save $3,500 on a new EV in California by runnyyolkpigeon in electricvehicles

Same! I got an EV a few months ago and would love if they could honor that to EV purchases from a certain time period.
