This is standard corporate tomfuckery.

You fire them first (probably illegally) wait for them to lawyer up and come after you in court, enter into negotiations to settle now that the employee is under financial pressure to accept.

An employee who suffers a serious injury on the job who might have ongoing life long medical expenses can be horrifically expensive to a company often wildly exceeding a negotiated settlement.

Its morally fucked but the company would rather cut the man a very large cheque and sever all ties than have the long term liability hanging over their heads. Sacking him first just puts a timer on it that the company can afford to wait out when the employee cant.

Yes, its still wrong.

As a member of the insulative layer of management between the floor and the corporate asshats I have to speak the language.

This translates to “Get the most no nonsense worker from every department up here, lets compare what they think we can do in a perfect world vs reality and have a look at what we can do to make the numbers look like what our bosses bosses boss wants to see, without cutting anyones hours or working any harder.”

They can hate the Ayatollah AND the US at the same time.

You know what people also historically hate? People coming and making changes for them for their own good.

See I had the same thought, its entirely possible that some people packed some extra hard snowballs and really put some heat on them just because they were cops.

There is a line, its possible that line was crossed.

Also people who by and large havent been out living wild social lives for quite a while. Laser beam focused on one goal. Once you have competed, one way or another the pressure is off and you are surrounded by people who are in the exact same position.

Its not a non issue, but its a clickbaity as fuck headline. It would be like writing “Car crashed into daycare center” when someone ran into the fence at 3am on sunday.

It also annoyingly shows a level of thick skin and confidence that Musk does not possess.

Theres a photo of me with a convicted murderer and a photo of me with a convicted child sex offender.

The guy did 10 years for murder and I knew him from the custom car scene, I knew him after he got out, didnt talk about it much. I worked with the child sex offender before he got found out and sent away, that motherfucker is a fight on sight if I ever see him again.

The photos exist out there on the internet somewhere and theres jack shit I can do about it. (Actually the murderer was a pretty chill guy by the time I knew him, that photo doesnt bother me.)

Yeah the whole “Why would anybody want…” line of thinking is dumb. What we want is awesome, what they market it as is pretty good and the bullshit we get are 3 different things.

The only nice thing I can say about chatbots is that they are a step up from “if your problem is with blank press one. If your problem is with…” telephone systems.

Ok. Hypothetically speaking if my family lives in a town, and I recieve a job offer in another state that pays $600,000 a year my household income triples, my wife no longer has to work and I rent a spare room near work I TECHNICALLY live in another state.

If they are fulfilling their contracts who gives a fuck. I know a guy who “lives” with his parents on paper but is a full time vanlife I.T consultant. He hasnt “lived” anywhere specific in about 3 years.

Theres lots of people who have happy memories of being taken places by their parents or grandparents when they were a kid, they remember it fondly because they didnt know any better.

Now the older generation are dying off and the people who went there as kids arent going either, the change to the logo would surely have legitimately annoyed some people because that logo is closely linked to their grandparents or something like that. Now its been forced back into their concious thoughts and they will go for the nostalgia… for a while at least.

It wasnt the “toy thing” theres a law about putting inedible choking hazards in food. The food drug and cosmetic act of 1938. It bans putting any toy or inedible object in candy unless it is a functional part of the food. So the capsule in the kinder egg isnt ok but the wooden stick in a popsicle, the stick of a lollypop or the ring of a ring pop is.

Ive always said that everyone gives Leo a hard time about dating young models and other rich celebrities who try to fuck people who are lets be charitable and say “Age inappropriate” (not everyone walks around Hollywood parties with a sign around their neck that says 14yo) that if the rest of us had fame, millions of dollars, movie star charisma and young attractive people trying to fuck us can we absolutely 100% say we wouldnt act any better?

Dr Mike is one of my favorite people, I genuinely think he would probably be a fun guy to hang out with.

Fight fire with fire.

Create dumb laws? Sue schools in red states and deep red voters with animal mascots.

I thought of these things.

Imagine the fun lawsuits you could launch over mascots and drama performances just to be a dick.

How dare you insinuate that JD VANCE KILLED THE POPE, there isnt a single shred of evidence that JD VANCE KILLED THE POPE. Id like to see anyone claiming or even hinting that JD VANCE KILLED THE POPE take their evidence straight to Interpol so that it can be disproven categorically by trained experts that JD VANCE KILLED THE POPE.
