As a woman I love work from home because I dont have to worry about engineers awkwardly hitting on me or trying to reach under the table to touch my leg or shooting rubber bands at me every time i walk onto their floor or near their cube. All these things are real things that have happened to me. I trust the folks i work with more because I don't have to worry about this poo poo.

The trust their talking about is also known as sexual harassment.

it's not harassment unless they make the "boing-yoing-yoing" sound at the same time

:ssh: not when you're a temp & no one else is using headphones.

Worked in a call center once doing email support, never took a phone call, but we had basically a half-open office (short cubicles) and the noise levels were so fuckin overwhelming; there was about 200 or 300 people in that room and there were only six of us doing email support. I begged my manager to let me wear headphones, or earplugs, or anything and the fred flintstone lookin motherfucker told me he'd have to fire me if he caught me wearing them lmao. It wasn't fair to the phone call people, you see. :)

Temp jobs and contract work are so lovely, you are treated like human garbage and degraded constantly. The flexibility of doing short term jobs seems nice on paper but it's never really worked out for me and I'm so fatigued on it

Yes, we have feathers--but the muscles of men.

I want this to be correct, not because the AI was actually good at predicting, but because it just spouted some stuff. just wrong nonsense because it’s a dumb program.

and then cults and so on form around the AI, and you have to choose a cult or you become the clothes of a different cult. I hope my cult wears blue, I look good in blue. I want more cults, but the good kind where there’s ritual murder and occult ceremonies, only now instead of ancient black books we use very old laptops running archaic AI guiding us with essays written for eighth grade english classes

BETTER BE AT LEAST ONE BANK FAILURE TOMORROW MR GPT

Matt Levine's most recent Money Stuff newsletter is frustrating. They essentially blame bank regulators for causing the SVB bankrun through inadequate supervision. They also note that since all US bank deposits are now effectively guaranteed by the Federal govt there is an incentive for bank executives to take even more bad risks. However they again conclude that the govt simply needs to regulate banks more effectively. There's no acknowledgement that govt regulatory oversight was systematically undermined by the industry's own lobbying efforts, or that there's no realistic prospect to effectively regulate the financial industry in the current political system. Presumably a former banker writing for Bloomberg isn't likely to be making those points but they're obvious omissions.

They do have a point that apparently the current US banking system effectively requires all deposits to be insured. Apparently rich people will threaten to knock over the financial system if they risk losing their uninsured deposits and will inevitably be made whole, so might as well treat all deposits as insured going forward. No idea if that's tenable though.

Didn't Goldman threaten to do exactly that in 2008, and that's why they got in on the bailout that they IIRC didn't even need?

the regulators need to Regulate Harder is the business world version of the democrats' solution to all political problems being that voters need to Vote Harder.

I wonder if you can say that this current situation is a result partially of the inability of those in power to consolidate their strength by shoving opponents.

Makes sense I guess. Don't want to be the loser so you just avoid it, but I can't help but think that at some point that just means things will degrade until someone can take the reigns and actually design a system that works (even if it's just copying China and using the balkanized remnants of the US as your subject states)?

I'm certain this is complete bullshit so fire away.
