These must be the same people who could but don’t buy insurance and then bleed on our carpets when their ‘self-insured’ status bankrupts them after an untoward event.
"Why pay for insurance? They
No, Numbskull - they give you peace of mind.
Joining a union is insurance!
In UK (and rest if EU too, I’m sure) hours ARE specified. In 40 years of work I never had a job where the hours were not specified as part of the contract.
(Except for ‘zero hours’ contracts, of course. But we are talking about full-time employment contracts here.)
Liz Loppato looks at how Elon has failed to do verification before
This Twitter fiasco is a reminder of who is actually critical to the survival of our economy & society.
Twitter worked before the billionaire got here. Now that workers are gone, Twitter is collapsing. Workers made Twitter work—a billionaire broke it.
Workers > Billionaires
Perhaps he will attach it to a chain around his neck and jump into the deep end of the company swimming pool as part of a “SINK OR SWIM!” joke.
I mean, we’ll have core hours specified. “Employee is required to be available and actively working between the hours of 9AM and 5PM , Monday through Friday, with holidays and PTO excepted. Employee shall work as necessary to finish required tasks and satisfy job requirements.” We certainly don’t have a cap/peak/maximum mentioned. In fact, we do have “Employee is considered EXEMPT from overtime based on salary rules in the state of Oregon”
I’d have to think long and hard about what I wanted:
Is this a stupidity test?
Good point. I didn’t cop it so I’m glad you pointed it out.
Worth sadly noting that Jacob Rees Mogg and the far right extremists in his faction have the working time directive in their sights as a piece of pesky European red tape that isn’t delivering Brexity opportunities. It will not affect middle class workers so much who don’t depend on the legal minimums. Though I guess it will drive standards down for everyone.
Starting of course with immigrants and the poor.
my theories:
Elon doesn’t know how to use git.
He likes pretty code, but has never coded himself
He owns stock in ABBYY.
I wonder if you can submit code as a gif?
Or he’s handing off code to Nunes for Truth Social.
Screenshots of code. Screenshots. Of. Code.
Why not demand a sculpture of the code? It’s the only thing I can think of that would be less useful
ETA: also, I am assuming that the use of the word salient rather than critical or important is just him trying to sound smart at the cost of clarity
Ah, you’d be amazed what one can do with papier mâché made from original IBM punch cards.
hmm.
I looked up salient, found this
1936 Discovery Sept. 279 There are too many salients in the front line of social progress and it is the duty of the industrial psychologist to smooth these away.
As a cynic, I’d say that etymology consists of a lot of people trying desperately to sound smart, while not really having a clue.
I am pretty sure I remember a time when Musk claimed to have coded in the past. That can’t have been much.
Theres a big difference between coding some Java or Python ten-fifteen years ago and coding high performance high-availability Scala today. It takes time and effort to learn functional programming and so he’s not just going to be able to immediately buy the talent he needs to help twitter out.
Sure, but the way he talks about things at Twitter he doesn’t seem to know how anything works.
