Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

HR surprised us with a thing.
"We've been studying some and found that having a 3-day weekend, totally disconnected from work, is great for your mental health.
From now on, you get a paid Monday or Friday off every month. Work it out with your manager/team, but this is mandatory. And no, this does not count against your normal PTO."
Yeah. 12 days off, paid. On top of our generous PTO plan.
If you're bitching about your job/capitalism/greed/whatever, I have some advice. Work hard, learn new skills, accomplish new things, hang in a year or three, upgrade your resume, upgrade jobs. Rinse and repeat until satisfied.
That's literally impossible. You cannot stuff 8 billion human beings into the few positions that give this. Your comment smacks of elitism where the wealthy deserve mental well being and the poor deserve nothing.
Not so much, he basically got lucky
What the fuck is your point?
They got theirs, fuck everyone else. That's their point.
I did that, I am better off. I know that is not feasable for everyone, somebody has got to still do the shit jobs. The least we could do is cut the crap out so only the actual work sucks.
Oh it is also absolute hell to upskill yourself when you go home tired everyday and have hardly any time to "improve" youself.
