I really like the neck tie. Contrast feels stronger.

Most knew Facebook at the time and many knew what they were like…

Meta seemed partly a rebrand because of that unpopularity.

“Hey bully, stop being so mean” generally gets laughed at and an aggressive response.

Didn’t he just do what she campaigned on? They were her policies.

Trump appeasement. Looks like he’s still pissed he was banned. Meta looking desperate.

Nope. It’s a US election, Trump appeasement thing. Meta replaced Nick Clegg (a UK liberal) with a Republican (Kaplan) for global affairs lead and this came out a few days later. A few days before they donated $1m to the inauguration ceremony. Prior to this, there was talk of Trump being pretty annoyed with Meta.

This is all shameful capitulation and political appeasement. They really teaching politicians how to do politics.

In order to avoid political confrontation, they sold all those that wanted a safe space.

Yes. I’m pretty sure Stallman isn’t on Facebook. Doesn’t even browse with JS enabled.

I do agree but I cannot say many in the demographic are on Lemmy…

This is not a strawman. I’m not misrepresenting your argument. I’m highlighting you’re being a negative fuck and there are other places for that.

Boomers don’t know what Linux is, they can barely use computers. I wouldn’t know one that would understand a meme about Linux.

Seems you’re going to be negative and double down.

Linux in a boomer meme? Wrong.

I get in some places, spouting negativity gets upvotes, but you ain’t on xitter or reddit, buddy.

The cult of musk. If you raise from your fan club you don’t get held to account.

Not where you work.

You also failed to answer any of my points. If the head count is 0.25 per hour rather than 0.75, they’ll combine rolls and cut a head count. If 2 roles require 0.75, then they need 1.5 staff and need to round up, if it’s 1.1, they round down and a headcount gone. The shift will be run with 70 staff rather than 71.

How can you work in the role and not know how it works?

Firstly, it isn’t a few meters. Secondly, I think the term is disabled but hey, name calling isn’t a new thing.

I’m not in the USA BTW. I thought it was obvious by the fact I said ASDA and not Walmart.

In that example, yes it would.

I don’t agree with your premise. When Tesco had more cart stations, I used them. I use them in Asda because they aren’t far from the car, but when they remove stations to cut jobs, they are the ones being rude.

I’m not in the US. We never had gas station attendants. I guess fuel theft was never the same issue here as in the States.

It’s very hard to use bank tellers. Many branches got shut down. It was never really a thing in my lifetime.

It’s very easy to accept situations when you don’t see it change. You accept it as fact. Young folk just accept you don’t have data privacy because it never really existed in their life time.

Supermarkets automate things or put the work onto customers not to pass those savings on to customers, but to increase their margins at the cost of peoples jobs. Some folk are just fine with that.

Many would welcome automation if the gains and benefits were shared around. But it isn’t. The rich get richer and the unemployment line grows. The media train folk to hate the unemployed, like it was their choice their job was removed.

If the only way to keep a fairer wealth distribribution is to keep folk in jobs, so be it. We don’t have basic income or a 4 day week yet.

Why do you think there is always another job to accomplish? Do you think that work magically appeared out of nowhere? Do you think your colleagues are slacking or do you think they had removed a head count from the cleaning staff because the cart staff will now do that role?

So you think if the cart guy helped out the full time in the remote orders they wouldn’t reduce a head count from that role? You know very little about how businesses run.

You could call me a cunt, but you’re either naive or don’t give a fuck about anything other than having acres of space for your SUV.

No one historically shit on floors in supermarkets. They did historically have more cart spots, but decided to save money and cut jobs. The assumption is people will start doing the work for them.

They were very much right.

They put on self-service tills in the hope that folk would do it free. When they used to hire 30 checkout staff, they now hire 2 per 12 tills, so they save on 20 checkout staff per shift. Of course they weren’t redeployed to shelf stacking, as they already had shelf stackers. They just went to the job centre.

If you are happy being complicit in the losses of jobs, go ahead. Persuade yourself you’re moral and descent. You can either clap on the AI job losses as they hunt “productivity”.

Supermarkets have jobs to keep the car park clear, and if it only needs 1, they’ll hire one. If it needs half a shift, that person goes inside half the shift, but now they need less shelf stackers as they’re over subscribed, so they can remove one head count off that. If a supermarket has a cart spot near my car, I’ll use it. If I have to walk 5 mins out my way to the entrance, it’ll be placed neatly to the side joined to other abandoned carts not filling spaces and not blocking access to folk getting past.

It’s adorable if you think that extra person is going to be working in store. There is a whole science around queue lengths that they use to cut jobs or push you to self service.

I guess the person would be warmer at home with no job, but it isn’t a good solution.

So they can do nothing about it? Have you ever tried to phone a supermarket before?Some supermarkets cut back on the number of spots so customers could do the job of car park staff without paying them cutting jobs in the process. It was deliberate.

Tesco do it, others like ASDA have the cart spots closer to the end of the car park.

I guess if you’re that compliant in serving the capitalist class you can wash your dishes after you go to the restaurant. They’d love the “efficiencies”

If everyone put them away, the person hired to put the carts back would lose their job. Yes, some used to hire more. Plus, supermarkets may consider having more than 1 trolley area that isn’t miles away from the cars parked there so they can ram more cars in there.

Could be kinder on folks with health issues that don’t have a blue badge…

Oh she will. When Corbyn was leader, she was meeting Blair fundraiser, Lord Cashpoint. She’s been thinking of leadership for a long time.

Cannot be trusted, but also cannot be as bad as Keir.
