"Would U.S. tech workers join a union?" survey average: 67% likely
  • The union autoworkers get good benefits like overtime pay for work over 8 hours. Union working come in at 6, then take a fixed breakfast and lunch break and then leave at 2:30. Anything over that will need approval and overtime pay. I’m surprised Ford and Stellantis isn’t alongside with GM.

  • OceanGate’s ill-fated Titan sub relied on a hand-typed Excel spreadsheet
  • Companies now prefer cloud storage because they will still have the data if they fire you as your access will be lost immediately. You could delete all local files and it will take lot of time and effort to recover them.

  • Sony announces the PS5 Pro with a larger GPU, advanced ray tracing, and AI upscaling
  • Laws aren’t going to help keep the price down which is also an issue apart from the digital ownership. It’s always cheaper to buy physical games as they go on sale. What’s stopping Sony from selling PS Exclusive for $100 only in their store?

    Are we going to get restricted to only buying from Sony store or is Best Buy going to sell me a box with a digital code?

  • Hedgehogs threatened by robot mowers, German activists warn
  • It’s also a huge waste of water but your City or HOA will force you to mow it. I share the same sentiment as you and would be happy to use the land for anything apart from just a green lawn which needs to be mowed.

  • Why are doctors so hands off and unhelpful in the USA?
  • This is just over generalization of your experience.

    A primary care doctor should ask questions like if you are stressed out as it affects your life but they are not going to have a long non-medical related conversation because you are no longer a kid and also they won’t remember you until you go back the next time so why waste time when they can see other patients, unless it’s a psychiatrist. The questionnaire they have has all the required medical questions.

    Doctors aren’t out to get your money. You don’t even pay them directly. Blame the health insurance companies for that. If they did want to take your money wouldn’t they make you do more tests and take more of your money? There are a lot of ways to get your money apart from anesthesia.

    Maybe there is a different medical reason but it is certainly not to just to make your pay for anesthesia. I’m not in a medical field so I can’t into those details. However, I had some oral surgery and I refused anesthesia as I could handle the pain and didn’t want to pay more money. The surgeon didn’t force it on me. I’m not sure where you live but I hadn’t heard that we are forced to take anesthesia when it might not be required as it has its own risk. Why would the hospital risk that? Just to make more money when they can just order other non-risky expensive tests?

  • Strikes start at top hotel chains as housekeepers seek higher wages and daily room cleaning work
  • There is always pet fee for about $100 and I thought it’s for the extra cleaning. If the customer declined daily house keeping and kept the dog for a week in the room then they should be charged accordingly and not make the housekeepers clean it in the same amount of time as the other rooms.

  • Amazon Contractors can't even sing in their cars now. Unions protect against this micromanagement.
  • During the orientation they said we aren’t allowed to reach out to grab water or any snacks while driving, no touching the screen or dashboard to make any changes. Drive and only drive with 2 hands on the steering wheel.

    My DSP (Delivery Service Partner) didn’t care to enforce that. Most of them would have AirPods in and talk on the phone all the time. So we weren’t flagged for talking or singing. But having those rules itself is terrible. It was just my temporary job and I hated how those employees are treated.

  • Amazon Contractors can't even sing in their cars now. Unions protect against this micromanagement.
  • Don’t see this happening everywhere. This is being done to save themselves from liability in an accident. They don’t have cameras watching their warehouse workers although they have rules like no earphones are allowed which are typical for safety in a warehouse or plant. I worked as an Amazon driver for a month. Everything they do or say is to cover their ass from getting sued.
