Witnessing a downtown metro area go dead silent, years of ecological damage reversed and folding at home accidentally out computing the world's fastest supercomputer in the first 2 weeks of 2020 lock downs and all it took was giving 10 days PTO to all non-essential workers (I was essential btw but yes I'll fucking survive Starbucks being closed one fortnight a year)
Surely, people will see this as worthwhile and positive tradition and we'll collectively decide to avoid commuting for 2 weeks every March; taking PTO if offered or job hopping at the new market rate created if not, right... Right...?
We don't decide. We are coerced. When money is involved the CEOs decide and try to coerce us into their preferred decision.
Absolutely no idea why you're getting downvoted. CEOs browsing Lemmy?
If I had to guess, it is probably due to the natural resistance that people have towards the idea that they are being manipulated. Also some people have a hard-on for pleasing those that society preaches are better than them. Re: Musk fanboys
Yes, good possibilities. I see you've struck a chord, because you're already being downvoted again. I see I was downvoted too. lol
Idk, I don't have scoring on so I don't really worry about such things. :)
