If even a small number of people start doing this then it’s going to break all the hiring channels and we’ll only be able to hire referrals and friends.

my multinational employer thought that they could do that since they one of the biggest players in the industry so they figured they can force return to the office and they could just replace everyone who left as a result. fast forward a year and they've had to outsource hiring to bolster their own recruitment because the referrals they got were in such high demand that they had to compete with other major industry players to hire them and they had to double down on finding people through traditional means.

i know it's not like that in all industries; but that ones that stress or rely on experience are really hurting to find people like this because the social circles of ones with that experience are others with similar experience and those circles are tiny.

i've applied to this company several times in the past and got auto rejected; it wasn't until the attrition got so bad that they deigned to give me the time of day.

I call myself a programmer because I've been been doing IT for so long that it's impossible not to pick it up to get my job done.

They agreed to being bussed (but they didn't know exactly where) and Texas officials made sure to get that on paper to cya themselves against lawsuits and criminal charges

I feel like the most galling thing about xtianity is that you can be the most violent, murderous, racist, homophobic pos forever and, per doctrine, you'll still be welcomed into heaven no matter what so long as you believe that the invisible sky friend exists.

Tesla is a driving force for both the automotive industry electrifying and worsening worker rights, safety, pay, and labor practices.

Only the bougie and the rich focus on the first part even though the second part has much bigger consequences for humanity.

You should add this at the beginning so that we can understand within one second:

In the 60s and 70s, some 4,500 young Inuit had IUDs inserted without their consent or that of their families

it's not some, it's most and the bigger the employer, the more likely it is the case.

same goes for their wifi.

multiple clones have been available for almost 2 decades but grindr dominates so much that it's larger than all of the clones combined because of name recognition; even straight people know what grindr is and, thus, new gays will only hear of grindr unless they dig into sources that aren't mainstream (eg reddit niches and word of mouth from other gays who know about the clones).

not good, this is what grindr's owners wanted; let grindr run on autopilot to squeeze out as much $$$ as possible.

it'll eventually mean that grindr will fail; but short term profits are always more important to investors.

Ah. Well if I’m not mistaken Lemmy is mostly Android / FOSS biased so I’m not surprised some people might have the “Apple bad” mindset. Honestly why do people care what products other people use? I read a comment the other day about an Android user despairing that some feature Google is implementing (don’t remember which) might make some Android users jump ship to Apple… Ok who cares? Why so much emotional investment in something so trivial? It sounds just as crazy when you flip it, “Oh no some of my Apple friends are switching to Android or PC” …. A phone is an everyday appliance. Do you care what brand your neighbor’s kitchen appliances are? That’s how you should feel about phones IMHO.

iphones are status symbols so they get to be ascribed w the same emotional irrationality that other status symbols get like cars and clothes.
