50s girl groupon posted:Thread moved fast so this was last page but posting on the forums honestly helped me keep my sanity while in the hospital for weeks at a time, because pandemic lockdown means absolutely no visitors and staff doesn’t check in very often, so I was alone with my thoughts for most of the year. Goons good. US healthcare bad. I'm genuinely real glad to hear our dead gay comedy forum could keep your spirits up

Shame Boy posted:Your lovely boss is the random people you pick up driving for Uber who have to give you a 5 star review or you get shadow-banned. All the fun of having a proper lovely boss but they can also throw up in your car and you have to just deal with it with a smile! I just assumed that if you throw up in an Uber the guy pulls over and beats the poo poo out of you

https://www.irishtimes.com/news/ireland/irish-news/three-sushi-businesses-operating-from-bedroom-ordered-to-close-1.4404397 What happens when you disrupt the food delivery industry and don't really do checks on food licenses? You get someone operating 3 unlicensed sushi restaurants from their bedroom and making sales over Deliveroo.

Listen, tiny props for posing with cute animals have to come from somewhere. I'd rather live in a world with pictures of toads living in fully furnished doll houses than live in a world without miniature cereal boxes and pop cans.

Cold on a Cob posted:Could we maybe tax the businesses instead? No? Ok, guess we tried. looks like they want to tax the business if the work-from-home is mandatory, and tax the worker if the work-from-home is voluntary if this sounds strange, it's because if you read between the lines, this proposal actually has nothing to do with covid. it's really about the fact that people working from home spend less money, and this reduced consumption is Bad For Business, pandemic or no pandemic. so their true goal is to disincentivize WFH, while dressing it up in fake concern for the essential workers quote:"For years we have needed a tax on remote workers," wrote Deutsche Bank strategist Luke Templeman. "Covid has just made it obvious." quote:He also argues that remote workers are contributing less to the infrastructure of the economy "whilst still receiving its benefits".

Sure, let's disincentivize something that actually reduces our carbon emissions, and use it to make it easier for companies to pay poverty wages.

I've done remote tech support and excel touchering alike and neither one of the pays the bills at the working class level. But it's possible that I've just been lucky enough to wind up with somewhat forward-minded employers too so
