There's a Wilkos bang in the middle of the Arndale Centre, so I guess that's Manchester completely hosed then.

Surely only a matter of time before the tables turn Very few people actually think that. Most are resigned to that just being the way of the world and can't see where positive change will come from or fob themselves off with 'genius risktakers getting rewarded' rhetoric or at best think if their kids can get some lucky breaks then they'll get to achieve that level of success.

Yeah I saw a Woolworth's in Germany too, but it was no "Woolworth's" as I know it. VideoGames posted:I am becoming so numbed to this kind of stuff. Just profit over life every day, and no one really seems to care and no agency above them will do anything because tories are in power. They even say in their press statement that it's to stop staff from "taking advantage" of their sick pay policy

Their policy will probably backfire when they are forced to close entire stores/warehouses because of corona spreading like wildfire amongst staff and thus having nobody capable of working. I was hoping this pandemic scare would at least highlight society's need for workers rights and decent sickness policies, but I guess reflection and preventative thinking/action is pretty rare amongst business owners and Tory voters.

My housemate is a tube driver and has no driving licence. He also bathes about once a month and is ordered to keep his bedroom door closed at all times lest his stench leak into the rest of the house.

Not just bad in the sense that it treats people like poo poo, obviously you've nailed that part, but actually bad at doing the thing that it is supposed to. It specifically incentivises short term thinking at the cost of long term profit (as well as, y'know, basic human dignity)

My company doesn't pay for the first three days you're off sick, which results in 1) people coming in to work when they're ill or 2) people who are a bit ill deciding to stay off for a week because at that point you might as well. The best bit is I work in a pharmacy, which you'd think would understand about infection control, but wheeee

ronya posted:multiple supporters and critics have noted that MMT inherits that odd tendency of its intellectual heritage to emphasize its most novel and counterintuitive implications as its selling point There’’s nothing inherent about a conventional economic model that makes people go ‘if this goes on, our grandchildren will live under a national debt of fivety quadrillion pounds, so we need to crash the economy to save them from that fate’. But it is a predictable failure of interpretation, caused by using the word ‘debt’ for an indefinitely sustained flow. Like saying that if tap water costs so much per litre, allowing the Thames to exist for the next 500 years is obviously unaffordable. So we must dam it at source.

https://twitter.com/tom_watson/status/1235841755460685825 Can't believe we lost this absolute champion of the movement. Being told you're no longer welcome to come and make a speech because of your role illegally deporting people based on the colour of their skin is anti democratic. Loving the brazen way the Conservatives have transitioned to "It's rude to point out that my white power tattoo is racist" arguments. Wish it wouldn't work.

Jose posted:i'm off work sick again mostly because i was off yesterday so gently caress it even if I am still ill i could work through it. anyway it seems like half the building of people is ill and someone collapsed today according to the work group chat Sounds like your company has been very successful at reducing sickness absence rates, as wilko aspires to do. It's definitely because of people taking the piss and being skivers that they had to make that change. You see it all the time. Why, some people won't even come to work with a quick cold. e: I once got in minor trouble for taking a few days off due to the flu during my uni summer internship. Was very much "we understand your reasoning but it doesn't seem you are making the best use of your limited time with us". Just gently caress the whole thing. Though it's worth noting that the post-war soviets and allied regimes were leaps and bounds worse at this then even the legal minimum in the UK. Try no pay for 2 weeks and then getting only a minimum wage, all the while requiring a doctors permission and facing regular home inspections. It's not just capitalism that is suspect to short-termism in this respect (and many others). Private Speech fucked around with this message at 15:15 on Mar 6, 2020 |
