It can be, but the ice itself is not wet.
The show Scrubs sort of changed my perspective on this. Religion has its place as a thing for people to grab on to in order to give them the strength to make it to the next day.
The problem comes when religion is used to oppress others.
Say it with me, now.
Tax breaks.
If a company has the infrastructure to support WFH but chooses to RTO it is due to tax breaks the company gets by filling seats in the office.
KH is the only series I dread releases for because each release makes the lore even more incomprehensible. It doesn't help that they had plot critical games on different consoles. I know they have the bundles on Steam now, but I don't have the energy anymore to try and figure this stuff out.
With that said, I am happy KH fans are getting more.
You value yourself at negative 10k? If they paid me 100m, I would at least think about it before declining to buy one.
They tell us we don't own the game, only a license to play the game that they can arbitrarily revoke.
If you are going to hold my right to play something I paid for hostage, you can bet I am going to reclaim what I lost if that access is taken away from me (this does not apply to you selfish assholes that hack games to cheat then get banned).
So far the GOP is 0 for 3.
RTO metrics are more often than not about tax breaks, not that your boss wants to hover over you. By coming into the office you have a chance of stimulating the local economy and the government cuts taxes in return, but only if there are metrics showing that a certain percentage of your local staff are coming in. It is all really stupid, antiworker, and driven by money.
I am barely getting away with not returning to the office, but my company is cracking down on it. The moment they take my bonus or otherwise reprimand me is the moment I put in my notice.
It is simply impossible for me to view the Tesla icon without it morphing into a swastika. Even if Elon and every board member is removed and all of their shares taken with no payout I would still never buy from them. The brand is irreversibly damaged.
America has a mentality of "I'm paying you for your time, not the quality of your work." Even if you complete the work assigned to you they will throw a hissy fit if you leave one minute early because that is one minute they are paying you that you arent available if something goes wrong.
It's all ass backwards because it is cheaper in the short term to pay for cheap labor with low reliability and high availability than for expensive labor with high reliability and medium to low availability. If you take the high availability away from the former you are left with nothing.
With the nurse Laverne. She had an episode where the doctors were asking if it was God's plan that a patient died and she snapped back that she needed something to keep her going in an environment of sadness and misfortune.
