Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I once had a job that was working me every single day 9 hours a day because they would not replace the 4th employee who quit, running a 24/7 location.
I told them that if they didn't hire somebody I would quit.
I gave them a week and they hadn't even made an attempt to hire anybody.
I offered to the manager that two days a week we would each take a 12-hour shift, so that each of us in turn would get one full day off each week.
My manager said no.
To my manager's shock and surprise I quit on the spot, and my manager and my coworker each got to work a 12-hour shift for the next 6 weeks every single day until the other person quit and they had to close the business down until they hired in replacements.
This is some self imposed (not you) dystopian stupidity. Good on you for giving them warning, telling them straight, and then following through. Hope you went on to better and brighter things.
Oh yeah. I work a flat 40 sitting on my ass and make about 10x what I did then.
I definitely had to go through a lot of shit but that one was probably some of the worst of it job-wise.
Hell I didn't even own a car at the time but that walk home was the most baller stroll I've ever had in my life.
I got home, told my girlfriend at the time I had quit my job and then I went and slept for 14 hours without a care in the world, and then the next day I went out and found a job that paid a dollar an hour more.
Fucking hell how are people this fucking dense 🤦♂️
This is so absurd to me. What kind of small business need to be open 24/7?
Diners. Manufacturers. Some service-providers.
Often, staffing is the #1 concern as a small business develops, so having the capital to pay enough employees is a big deal. This owner completely failed to plan.
Genuine next-level stupidity.
Walmart used to have lots of locations open 24/7. Gas stations, restaurants, and various places in heavy tourist areas like New York or Vegas or LA.
