@David_desJ @christapeterso In original poster's defense, the word "demand" comes from Latin "demandare", which means "to entrust, charge with a commission", or in other words, "to request".

Elon is just demanding random people on his website tell him how it works now

@momo_ops How *dare* a person exist whose sole purpose in life is *not* to be "just gone up and talked to"!! The audacity of such a person, my goodness!

You: "Y'all dead set on trying to get folks to take that devil shot, ain't you?" *shakes head*
Me: *shrug* "I'm pretty dead set on trying to stop this virus from killing and disabling folks. So if that means getting a shot, I guess so."
You snorted.

@miah_ A certain mutual former employer of ours liked to remind people that they had the right to monitor Slack, and every time, I'd think, "Just say, 'We 100% monitor your slack messages' cuz we all know that's what you really mean."
English
Not surprised. I bet lots of employees have their slack accounts being monitored. Corps will do everything to fuck over their employees and customers in the name of the almighty dollar.

Activision Blizzard workers are suing, saying the company is using coercive tactics to stop them from unionizing — incl. intimidation, surveillance and hiring "notorious union busters." The company faced a walkout in July over rampant sexual harassment and gender discrimination.

@quixoticgeek You could throw in a food category, where people have to name the country of origin for each dish

Beautiful Nerds. I have to make this week's company pubquiz. I need some question ideas. They need to work with an international audience where English may not be the first language. Any suggestions?

@rycar Got a recruiter in my inbox asking if I want to work at an early-entry start-up; when I asked if there are any people of color or women, he ghosted me 😂

@ThisIsTheMurph @craigwilcox @editingemily "It's not the CEOs harassing people" is absolutely a claim about CEOs in general. Even if Uber has multiple CEOs, which they don't, I think you can just admit that you were publicly wrong and move on.
English
@joderita @craigwilcox @editingemily My sentence was talking about "the CEOs" specific to this company and in this particular story. I made no claim about CEOs in general.
English
I changed my Uber account to a man’s name a few months ago as an experiment.
I haven’t been harassed since.
If the driver asks about it, I say, “Oh… boyfriend.
*rolls eyes and smirks with a slight shoulder shrug*
“He’s super protective.”
It’s. Amazing.
English
@ThisIsTheMurph @craigwilcox @editingemily From experience, CEOs are just as likely to harass as non-CEOs. Not sure why they'd be exempt here.
English
@craigwilcox @editingemily It's not the CEOs harassing people. Sounds like we need more women taxi drivers.

why is the solution always "launching a women’s mentoring program" and never "stop promoting managers with multiple human resources complaints against them" ?
The Seattle Times@seattletimes
More than 550 Amazon Web Services employees signed a petition accusing the cloud-services division of tolerating racial and sexual discrimination and harassement. AWS head Adam Selipsky has said he's investigating the employees' concerns. st.news/36Wqs6D

@devopsams @Harm_Ops @geekingthething @TimvandeKeer @Ba4bes @cote @demeesterdev @joderita What is the timezone of these talks? Is the schedule adjusting based on my browser timezone?
