turns out manufacturing is a mature process that doesn't take well to "disruption"

turns out the auto industry kind of figured how to streamline the everliving gently caress out of the assembly line process in some 100 odd years

go figure

i think tesla fanboys literally think the assembly line today looks like the day the first model t rolled off it.

the funniest thing is that based on past history and reporter investigations you KNOW tesla management hired smart and capable line people, listened carefully to their wisdom and experience, and then ignored it (and fired them for wanting to unionize)

Personally I just wish they'd interview more men the way that they do women.

So, Cdr. Hadfield, you've been an astronaut for over twenty years. Was that difficult for your marriage?

The astronaut training is long and rigorous -- do you regret not having children when you were younger?

You were in space for over 6 months -- what are top three gotta-have makeup products for that kind of journey?

it is fun to think through the consquences

having children improves your career prospects as a man, because your employer believes they now have greater control over you -- the need to support your family will outweigh any here-and-now issues with the job. no "real man" would ever care about actually seeing his family, right?

having children implodes your career prospects as a woman because... you might quit to just, not have a job? because you're a baby making machine with no other goals or needs

Living with the right people beats living on your own any day. When you live with the right people, you don't just share your space - you share your life.

They become more than your roommates, more than the people ahead of you in the queue for the bathroom. They're your friends.

SpareRoom is all about helping you find those people. The people who make sharing amazing.

I remember a really capable co worker was leaving to be a stay at home dad and management tried to guilt trip him into staying, suggesting it would ruin his career, that it wouldn't work out sort of implying that the man should be the one working.

He told them if you pay me what my wife makes (A chemical engineer with Shell iirc) then they'll think about it. I thought it was a really pro move and I hope its working out for them.

Our company announced that it will start offering paid maternity leave (after the only woman in the office had a child and was back from her unpaid leave) during a meeting and was met with silence... HR seemed upset that no one cared.

I personally thought it was already offered, since its a tech company in the year 2018 in Seattle...

One of the professors here had a baby a few years back and we were sitting in a meeting while she was on leave and the everyone was talking about how great it was that she gets 30 whole days off, full pay

I blurted out "that's it??" without thinking

They all looked a little pissy and said "why, what is it in Canada?"

"Like...forty weeks at half pay, or something like that?"

Dead silence for a seemingly interminable time and then finally one said, very bitterly, "well, we can't all be Canadian"
