There's a fast food chain in California called Farmerboys that does that poo poo. Every ring, you get the workers in the back saying thank you, but you hear the low morale in their voices. I don't blame them.

Wish it would go both ways though sometimes. I really just wanted someone to listen to something I had to say. Best not to start by being an rear end in a top hat I guess.

I don't think you're an idiot, friend. I think you just happened to put your post at the bottom of a page and a lot of people missed it, and the people who saw it (like me) didn't really know what to think of it besides "huh."

Wife needs some magnets for a thing she's making and found this delightful amazon review:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R2LLX49OATJCBH

quote:

Very concerning. Glad I held off for now!

I purchased these to check out the “magnet test” on several of my Vaxxed friends. It quickly proved that this “jab” isn’t a virus according to any of the 10 Nuremberg virus codes and appears to be nothing more than an addition of “metal nano-particles” as my conspiracy friends stated. I hated that they were right! These stuck to every single person that got the shot.

I believe I’ll hold off until it’s actually approved by the FDA as more than for ‘experimental use only’. Scary stuff!

5 stars out of 5, the magnets stuck to the nanomachines in my friends and proved i'm not crazy

This review made me honestly think about buying a $200 cube of tungsten

quote:

This Cube Cured my Mortality
Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2019
All the people here who bought this wireless tungsten cube to admire its surreal heft have precisely the wrong mindset. I, in my exalted wisdom and unbridled ambition, bought this cube to become fully accustomed to the intensity of its density, to make its weight bearable and in fact normal to me, so that all the world around me may fade into a fluffy arena of gravitational inconsequence. And it has worked, to profound success. I have carried the tungsten with me, have grown attached to the downward pull of its small form, its desire to be one with the floor. This force has become so normal to me that lifting any other object now feels like lifting cotton candy, or a fluffy pillow. Big burly manly men who pump iron now seem to me as little children who raise mere aluminum.

I can hardly remember the days before I became a man of tungsten. How distant those days seem now, how burdened by the apparent heaviness of everyday objects. I laugh at the philistines who still operate in a world devoid of tungsten, their shoulders thin and unempowered by the experience of bearing tungsten. Ha, what fools, blissful in their ignorance, anesthetized by their lack of meaningful struggle, devoid of passion.

Nietzsche once said that a man who has a why can bear almost any how. But a man who has a tungsten cube can bear any object less dense, and all this talk of why and how becomes unnecessary.

Schopenhauer once said that every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world. Tungsten expands the limits of a man’s field of vision by showing him an example of increased density, in comparison to which the everyday objects to which he was formerly accustomed gain a light and airy quality. Who can lament the tragedy of life, when surrounded by such lightweight objects? Who can cry in a world of styrofoam and cushions?

Have you yet understood? This is no ordinary metal. In this metal is the alchemical potential to transform your world, by transforming your expectations. Those who have not yet held the cube in their hands and mouths will not understand, for they still live in a world of normal density, like Plato’s cave dwellers. Those who have opened their mind to the density of tungsten will shift their expectations of weight and density accordingly.

To give this cube a rating of anything less than five stars would be to condemn life itself. Who am I, as a mere mortal, to judge the most compact of all affordable materials? No. I say gratefully to whichever grand being may have created this universe: good job on the tungsten. It sure is dense.

I sit here with my tungsten cube, transcendent above death itself. For insofar as this tungsten cube will last forever, I am in the presence of immortality.

A DoorDash employee making $400K a year complained about a company-wide initiative requiring that he personally make one delivery a month

DoorDash is reinstating its WeDash program.
The program requires staff — including the CEO — to work as delivery drivers at least once a month.
One employee who said they make $400K a year vented on social media about having to do the program.

The delivery service DoorDash is making all its employees — even the CEO — deliver at least once a month, but not everyone is happy about the initiative, and some employees have turned to an anonymous employee social platform to vent.

Under its WeDash program, employees — including those in DoorDash's corporate offices — must serve as delivery drivers at least once a month. If they can't deliver, they can choose other experiences, such as shadowing customer-service staff.

WeDash is the company's flagship employee-engagement program, which aims to have workers "learn firsthand how the technology products we build empower local economies, which in turn helps us build a better product," a DoorDash spokesperson said.

One DoorDash employee who reported a total annual compensation of $400,000 complained about the DoorDash initiative on the anonymous employee social platform Blind in a post titled "Doordash making engineers deliver food."

"Mandatory 'WeDash' starts from next year. You need to dash once a month. WILL BE TRACKED IN PERFORMANCE REVIEWS!! What the actual gently caress? I didn't sign up for this, there was nothing in the offer letter/job description about this," the post said.

I don't, on paper, disagree with making all employees do the real labor that actually generates wealth for an organization.

To make a "productivity manager" or whatever other white collar psychopath live under their own evil schemes to dehumanize is a necessary corrective to their lack of empathy.


But I doubt the motives of a corporation in doing so.

The problem is that the vast, vast majority of people who work at doordash know it sucks to be a dasher and have zero loving control over that. Even for like really fiddly poo poo like "oh when you do this in the app it takes a second and a half longer than it should", if you go to your boss and say "hey we should fix how annoying this screen is" they're just going to say "ok but how does that increase the KPI that control my bonuses" and you'll say "It won't it'll make everyone who works for us's lives less miserable" and they'll say "ok i'll look into it" and that's the end of that. Making like 10s of thousands of people experience a hell that they personally administer but have no control over is.. uh... well, it's something. I don't know if it's good or bad. It just mainly seems dumbfounding. It's probably good in that it will force people to look at that and decide they don't want to maintain the gig economy anymore.

It's different for people who make a poo poo ton more than the bottom, but I have been specifically told by management, at a restaurant, that "we pay you too much to stay behind an extra half hour help wash dishes" to get the back of the house out quicker at the end of the night and I only made a 1.50 more an hour than the absent dishwasher. At the same time the people in my position would not wash dishes at all when asked because "That's not what I'm paid to do." and we had been horribly understaffed and basically laying all that pressure on the majority immigrant kitchen staff.
