No. Happier employees almost always do make the line go up in the long term, but most employers don’t understand that, can’t look further ahead than the next quarter, and think of an employee is happy it’s a sign they must be slacking off.

did you win the birth lottery and get handed a pile of money like me tho

FTFY

That’s meaningless pedantry that doesn’t contribute to the discussion or alter the message in any way, but go ahead and give yourself a pat on the back for showing everyone how very, very smart you are.

No.

This sort of argument both minimises his accountability for his actions by blaming factors outside his control, and is incredibly insulting to the millions of people with actual mental disabilities who manage not to be racist assholes.

Elon is a Nazi, full stop.

That was always the surest sign I’d really pissed off a RWNJ. Good times

Funny thing about that is nobody at work looks twice if I’m leaning back and obviously doomscrolling on my phone, but spend fifteen minutes on Codewars and every person who walks by my desk is all suspicious…

I got a 3 day sitewide suspension, and (very surprisingly) a permaban from /r/fuckthealtright for calling a story about an Infowars employee getting murdered “uplifting.”

What a fuckin’ joke. By the title blaming “Gen Z,” the implication is that those newer to the work force - ie, entry level and junior positions - are most guilty of this, when later in the article it points out management and executives engage in “fauxductivity” at higher rates, and that it’s far from a new phenomenon.

I’m not a zoomer, but this bullshit is often a pretty significant part of my day. I work in an industrial facility in a maintenance role, and all of our regular work is planned and scheduled in advance. We wrap up all our jobs for the day, and that’s it - we can’t just go out and start turning wrenches on live equipment. Might kill a bit of time tidying up the shop and trucks, follow up on some orders, but beyond that there’s not much to do. Current supervision is pretty chill because they know how it is, but it still feels like a bad look to be spending the last couple hours of the day sitting with my feet up, staring at my phone. And at the last place I worked, we’d actually get in shit for not appearing busy no matter how empty the schedule was.
