He was stationed at Dresden (east Germany) and worked with the Stasi.

While I’m very interested in her experience, this piece speaks very generally and makes a lot of unqualified (but obviously truthful) statements. I wish it was a little more granular. I mean it’s really really general.

“They respect work hours. Vacation is respected as well. The time shift of working 6:30am-2:30pm is inconvenient but worth it. I have more time with my daughter.”

It doesn’t really talk about corporate culture or give any specific stories, it doesn’t compare really talk about working at an Austrian company. It doesn’t talk about how her day to day feels being so differently sync’d with the US work day. Idk. It’s just lacking details and substance.

It would be like my writing a piece about how it’s important to eat fruit and vegetables because they are good for you, and to cut back on sugar because a lot of it is bad for you. And I just leave it at that.

You can tell it’s true because Putin is, in fact, literally a murderer. His KGB record speaks for itself. Also his unprovoked war of aggression against ukraine.

That’s a pretty spicy yet realistic take

It’s going to take us a solid decade to understand the mental health crisis that is unfolding from this shit. So many of us called for “common sense legislation” and “guardrails” only to be mocked as Luddites and shouted down. But as always, the almighty dollar came first.

And people fighting for a real one. Can’t lose hope.

All we ever see on lemmy is “why won’t the US protest?” Here it is. It’s happening.

That’s a fair point. The movie needs a basic compressor pass lol

They don’t need to make us do anything. They just need to make it too inconvenient not to.

It had a lot of heart and you could almost “feel” the good/bad dice rolls happening.

The Paladin had me in stitches

Warrior with tom Hardy/joel edgarton/nick nolte. Marketed as a shitty MMA cash grab. It’s fantastic. Also has like 2 finales that crescendo so hard one after the other.

Food and gym could be sweet. Cold brew on tap too.

It’s playing into the 2010s culture of workplaces being “cool hangouts with beer taps,“ and acting like that’s all millennials care about.

What they never understood is yeah, that stuff could be nice I guess in certain contexts, but that’s not why we went to work. None of us forced those companies to do that shit. And some of us even didn’t like it, because those places could often blur the lines between a place of business and a place for socializing, which often led to women being sexually harassed.

WeWork anyone?
