In other words, it’s absolutely mandatory in all situations except for all the time everywhere.
4 ten hour days can more easily become 4 eight hour days. Working 10 hours means more breaks, more downtime, more slack during each day, and people are going to need to leave work more often to handle personal matters. If you can get everyone on board with being half-staffed on Mondays and Fridays (assuming that not everyone works the same 4 days) then you can make the argument that the additional 2 hours a day are unnecessary.
That seems to be the main thrust of the interview. Employees leaving the building is bad for productivity, therefore I provide a variety of services, food, and support inside the building. Employees don’t have to ever leave, which boost productivity.
Whether or not that is true, that’s another matter. In fact, I would hazard a guess that the CEO’s statements are all “I want” statements precisely because he isn’t interested in debating the actual effect on employees. Is it more productive? Does the data support the expense? Doesn’t matter, he wants it.
I find it helps me be more creative to leave my working space for a change of scenery, but it also helps me focus on mundane tasks to have things at my fingertips to avoid leaving my workspace. I doubt there’s one universal answer, but a workplace that provides coffee and food isn’t preventing employees from leaving the building, it’s encouraging them to stay.
But I also work from home. I wouldn’t work for a company with a strict in-office policy, even if they provided coffee and daycare.
Perplexica? What sort of sauce goes with that?
For a minute I legit thought Italy had dropped a new pasta shape.
Shares stupid opinion.
Everyone points out how stupid it is.
“This place is a liberal echo chamber!”
Yeah, but the drill bit would need to be 140 million miles long just to reach Mars.
Colonizing Mars exposed the colonists to mutagenic radiation, causing people born on Mars to have birth defects (and psychic abilities). They weren’t native Martians, so the three booby lady won’t exist until we send people there.
Fun fact, the Earth has a magnetosphere that protects us from radiation, and Mars does not. So it is very likely that Martian colonists would experience higher rates of cancer, birth defects, and sterility even with physical shielding.
But also, even if a human were to grow a third booby, it would probably be above or below one of the normal boobies, along a vertical line called the “milk line.” A third medial booby is, medically speaking, unlikely.
I mean, invading Russia in the winter months doesn’t sound like a good idea to me.
I am not a military strategist, but I would guess that the territory will be used as leverage in negotiations for a cease fire. They probably cannot hold the region indefinitely, but they can push the boundaries and make Putin look weaker. They can also force Russia to move invasion forces to defend.
And that’s without factoring in the geographic and political implications in occupying the region.
They have 1 minute to register a challenge. They submitted the challenge in 1 minute, 4 seconds.
So 4 seconds. That’s like the amount of time it takes for someone to say “write down the time.”
I didn’t spend any time at all in the comments, but the news articles I’ve read link the sudden uptick in bigotry to a show called Twilight Out Of Focus which features a gay couple in the lead roles. Homophobes were so mad that a show with gay characters exists that they were overwhelming every comment section on every show with slurs and ignorance.
If Deans are being antisemitic, even privately, then the school should fire them. But reading the article, I didn’t see anything antisemitic. Is there additional subtext I’m missing?
I mean, if bigots took over all the comments to fill them with hate speech on a Lemmy instance, it might makes sense to shut that down, too.
All Americans understand that. It doesn’t change the idiomatic implication of the word choice. That’s why it’s funny. Nobody is actually confused.
I’m sure it’s just an idiomatic translation issue, but saying it was “on sale,” to Americans, makes it sound like it was being advertised as a discount.
Edit: Just noticed the downvotes. The fuck is that about?
One thing I like about Lemmy is there aren’t as many dipshits to block. This one is responsible for a lot of mindless propaganda in my feed, and now it’s gone.
Secret Invasion was the worst thing a Marvel show can be: boring. The best part of the comics was that anybody could be a Skrull. Half of the Avengers were impersonated. The show gave us Rhoady and Agent Ross. The Skrull didn’t even suit up as War Machine.
Then they gave waaaay too many powers to the Super Skrulls.
Killing off Maria Hill and Talos just felt hollow. And it was a total waste of Nick Fury. Sam Jackson was good, but the script was shit.
The way this is written, the dangling modifier makes it sound like the Indian nationals were illegally inducted into the Russian Armed Forces during the meeting. Like Modi met with Putin, and the Indian staff members and security detail that came along were corralled into a bus and shipped to the front lines. Then Modi comes out of the meeting looking like the Vincent Vega meme, and turns to Putin who is like the Fidel Castro Simpsons meme.
Moscow agreed during the meeting to discharge the illegally inducted Indian nationals.
