We found a race condition in the teleport code. Turns out the efficiency curve for the restoration magic that undoes the disintegration in real time has a parabolic mana requirement related to mass, but disintegrate has a caterneric curve. For human sized stuff they match up, but if you try to teleport something of sufficient mass the restoration starts to draw a disproportionate amount of mana and the whole thing falls apart.

Also, we need to hire some more QA contractors.

the highest salary I've ever seen on a tech job posting was 900K, offered by Netflix for a networking god.

Even that guy would be broke by lunch on day 11.

A person so singularly gifted that one of the highest paying companies on the planet had to offer that just to find them, and this fucking bag of sewer gas has that in his coat he hasn't worn since the 80's. Really makes it easy to justify hating these absolute parasites that contribute nothing and own everything.

I hope they make him pass what they want first. No one should ever trust a Republican to keep their word.

That's a load bearing "done right".

This is true of warehouses everywhere, not just ones in underdeveloped countries. Developed countries just usually have a higher turnover and distribution closer to production sources, so they sit in storage for less time.

my employer fired a double digit percentage of their workforce and then instituted draconian RTO policies to, in the words of an actual HR leader, "get rid of a few more without paying severance".

Within 3 weeks almost half as many people as they had fired had quit. Pretty much every single team lost their most critical employees. They started back pedaling that policy at week four, but they don't realize the only good people left are just being picky about which offer they take from where.

All subsequent waste products will then be released into local waterways via "unfortunate accident" on a regular schedule, to maximize shareholder profits.
