It was the primary nail in my mother's coffin and her mother's coffin too.

It's just hard to directly translate accurately from the original Klingon texts.

One in El Salvador, perhaps?

This would be an upgrade to the open office hell I am currently in with no assigned seating and only built out to support 70% of workers assigned to the building. Parking is only able to hold about 40%. If you get in too late first you struggle to find a place to park only to park on the street a half mile away then you can't find a seat. Oh, and they track badge-ins as well as the times your computer is on the local network. If your computer isn't logged in long enough you get in trouble. This same company treated us like adults for many years before the RTO Mind Virus creeped into our executives brains. Many of my colleagues were fully remote going back to the early 90s.

It makes no sense. If the wanted to lose people it would be cheaper to just fire us and pay severance than to have a bunch of unmotivated employees giving no fucks about the work and screwing things up left and right. I've never seen the workplace so miserable and I hear similar stories from people at other companies as well.

Hot take; if IT had important gear running on a single power outlet with no UPS where it's easily accessible and any schmuck could pull the power, she made a pretty compelling point about incompetence.

A surprisingly large number of people don't vote. I refuse to believe that anything approaching half of voting-age Americans support this. Unfortunately, here we are.

I got this. For those that don't, search about reiserfs and the author's criminal history.

One can be both smart and stupid at the same time.
