If "sources close to" Malinda are leaking that already it's going to be a hilariously contentious divorce and I am here for it.

In other news, UK labour is getting positively cleaned out in council elections (basically local elections + 1 equiv of a special election). You may be wondering "well, what was their platform?" That's an excellent question and they can't quite answer much besides not being Jeremy Corbyn.

Imagine if after the dem primary, the Dems actually literally kicked Bernie and the squad out of the party and told everyone who volunteered for them that they have no place in the party. That's what labour did and the results are not great for them so far.

this is really good because even though we're short jobs, we're starting to gain jobs again. Biden's plan is working for the most part.

Absolutely agreed! It just one of those things where all major papers decided the story was not finding workers & inflation while the story is actually that the jobs don't pay, the pandemic is still going on, and people with kids are still a long way from being able to get back into the workforce.

Nope. Similarly the feds cannot force states to accept free federal money to expand Medicaid. Millions of Americans are without healthcare only because a bunch of chud states refuse to expand Medicaid.

The tragic thing is, this isn't going to suddenly get restaurants staffed. People aren't on unemployment because they got laid off from mcdonalds.

For a depressing forecast in that regard, here's an in-depth look at how deeply things are hosed in Florida, economically.

The Washington Post ran this op-ed by Cathy Merrill, the CEO of Washingtonian Magazine, one of the DC area’s more well-known “lifestyle” magazines. It’s full of boomer handwringing about workers not coming back to the office full time, and has this little cherry in it:

quote:

While some employees might like to continue to work from home and pop in only when necessary, that presents executives with a tempting economic option the employees might not like. I estimate that about 20 percent of every office job is outside one’s core responsibilities — “extra.” It involves helping a colleague, mentoring more junior people, celebrating someone’s birthday — things that drive office culture. If the employee is rarely around to participate in those extras, management has a strong incentive to change their status to “contractor.” Instead of receiving a set salary, contractors are paid only for the work they do, either hourly or by appropriate output metrics. That would also mean not having to pay for health care, a 401(k) match and our share of FICA and Medicare taxes — benefits that in my company’s case add up roughly to an extra 15 percent of compensation. Not to mention the potential savings of reduced office space and extras such as bonuses and parking fees.

Do you interpret that as a threat? If so, you join the entire editorial staff of the Washingtonian, who had this to say:

https://twitter.com/abeaujon/status/1390648703703261186

Such an effective executive that she prompted her entire editorial staff to take lightning quick action; that op-ed was published last night!

Also press F to pay respects to Cathy Merrill’s Twitter mentions because “ratioed” does not even begin to describe what’s happening to her account right now.

As someone who had to deal with similar stupidity in regards to the bosses not liking work from home (and have since relented and given us most of our wfh options back)...gently caress that lady. Big :lol: at the self own of admitting on the op-ed that she asks employees to do around 20 percent of work they weren't hired to do. I'm sure that will go well.

I think she does describe an interesting and worthwhile concern in that piece re: the contractualization of jobs and unaccounted-for labor, but I also think she should probably shut the hell up.
