because of AI

Oh look, a bullshit article.

You need to learn the fundamentals of how things work, and how to apply those fundamentals, not rote specifics of a particular technology.

Since you’re Gen Z, it sounds like you may also be relatively new in your career, and this strikes me as a timeless problem of experience.

Young people come in with a fresh set of eyes and say “why don’t we just do X?” Then more experienced people know all the unfortunate reasons why it’s not that easy. Like in your example, it’s arguably a better policy to just run every patch that gets released, even if it’s not applicable. The alternative is to spend some amount of man hours evaluating whether each patch is needed or not; and occasionally dealing with the consequences of somebody mis-identifying a critical patch and deciding not to install it. The cost from that is greater than the cost of occasionally having to clean up a bad patch that breaks something.

I do agree that Gen Z seems to feel a greater sense of unfairness when they (as less experienced employees) get stuck doing more of the grunt work in a situation like that. I’ve had several issues with Gen Zers at my company feeling like they’re supposed to be working on bigger and better things than the entry level tasks we’re giving them, and becoming disgruntled about it.

Not really sure what to do to manage around that part of the problem though. With millennials in that position, I had reasonable success by giving them a bigger project, then reviewing it thoroughly and helping them see the areas they needed to improve in. The Gen Z’s I’ve tried that tactic with have then felt like they were being “picked on” any time they got critical feedback. I haven’t had it happen enough to know if that’s a generational thing or just those specific people though.

Have you asked these unhappy employees? You’ll probably get a more helpful answer if it comes from somebody familiar with the specifics of your job / company. If you’re not doing exit interviews (or not setting a tone where they feel they can be honest in the exit interview), you’re doing yourself a disfavor.

They keep trying to go to Mars. There’s a reason I left the place!

I live in a state that has sales tax, right on the border with a state that does not, so for more expensive electronics etc, I’ll drive to a store to pick them up.

I just set up a PO Box today though, so I can ship stuff now too.

Ted and Bill’s Excellent Adventure would hav been a wholly different experience.

Low budget, bad title, but absolutely hilarious movie.

…yes? Why shouldn’t a business have the right to ban their employees from wearing a cross? Go work somewhere else if wearing a cross is that important to you…

Also, this article’s vague, but “no slogans, logos, or advertising except for Whole Foods branding” is Whole Foods’s official dress code. https://www.shrm.org/resourcesandtools/legal-and-compliance/employment-law/pages/whole-foods-black-lives-matter-mask.aspx

The plaintiffs were told they had to remove their Black Lives Matter face masks because they violated the dress code, but the workers refused and were sent home. After being sent home several times, they were fired for violating the company’s attendance policy.

Agreed, if I ran a grocery store chain I’d just have the employees wear uniforms with no personal expression.

At the end of the day it’s the business’s right to set whatever policy they want though. If the government decides employees have a constitutionally protected right to wear whatever they want to wear to work, we’re gonna see a lot of crazy bullshit.

Why does anybody think it’s a good idea to wear political statements into work? Just do your job.

Imagine if you ran a business and one of your customer-facing employees showed up in a MAGA hat. You’d probably want them to leave it at home right?

she woke up to use the restroom.

More likely all the noise you were making did it. Yeah Buddy, looks like you might be in a bad spot. Listen to your wife and figure out what needs to change.

Just make sure your aunt is tech savvy enough to make sure the laptop isn’t a dud before paying for it. $60 is incredibly cheap for a laptop though, so might be worth a gamble even if she isn’t.

not the only source

Sorry, LendingTree and LendingClub are two companies in the same business selling the same narrative. Their names are as similar as their business models, so it’s easy to get them confused.

I don’t think if somebody posted links to articles from McDonalds and Burger King talking about the health benefits of eating more French fries, you’d consider them more credible for having two different sources.

I guess he beat was a better place to look for a legitimate successor to r/stupidpol

Your point is valid, but LendingClub’s numbers are bullshit. People keep quoting that press release like it’s science.

LendingClub’s business is in person to person loans (they act as a middle man between the investors and borrowers). Person to person loans are risky because the kind of people taking them out tend to be desperate and have no money, so unless everything goes right, they end up defaulting on the loan.

LendingClub puts out this bullshit article inflating the number of people “living check to check” to try and make it seem like their person to person loans are less risky. They want you to think you’re lending money to people with a 6 figure income could just sell one of their Teslas to pay you back, not people who took out the loan because their 1991 Chevy Corsica needed repairs and without it they can’t get to their job at Burger King.

I’m sure that would have de-escalated the situation

Say what you will about Truth Social, but it has more content than lemmy, if you’re just going for quantity over quality.

Does being in Silicon Valley actually increase a startup founders chance for success? Start a fully remote company.

If Chess counts, hell no. I suck at chess and they’re going to make me a pawn.

If its “real games”, then yeah I think I could live in Hateno Village for a year and be alright.
