One fun thing about this sort of behavior, and why it keeps happening, is that generally speaking employee salaries are considered to be direct costs and need to be absorbed in the same quarter in which they are paid out. On the other hand, contractors hired for specific projects (especially infrastructure related) can be considered as capital expenses, and the associated cost can be recorded against the balance sheet directly and the impact spread, rather than being reported directly against income as per wages.
So even if it costs more, it can look better in the short term financially. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-10-06 |
This does not mention H1B and does not address it. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-10-06 |
My fiancé works for a state agency, one of the few state agencies that did t keep WFH after Covid, in our state. Only a few implemented RTO and she’s with one of the ones that did.
So this agency hired people during the WFH phase and so when they implemented RTO it meant they had more employees than they had space for. Right after the RTO mandate, they realized they didn’t have the office space for everyone, so they went a hybrid schedule where half the employees were in on Tuesday and Thursday and half were in Monday and Wednesday and everyone gets WFH on Fridays.
So that was issue 1, issue 2 is that everyone else hates it and a lot of people have just stopped coming in and are working from home full time. They agency is flip flopping, literally one week the HR will send out an email saying RTO is mandatory and people need to comply, then the next week they will send an email asking for volunteers to share their desks, because they don’t have enough space for everyone, even with the hybrid schedule.
Hmm, seems to me you have a pretty fucking simple solution staring you in the face…but nope, the agency is run by a geriatric who doesn’t understand and mistrusts technology. As a tax payer, I get pretty pissed about some of the stuff I hear goes on at her agency, cause the worst generation (Boomers) is still in charge of everything. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-10-06 |

“Investing is always a risk. Sorry the betterment of lives, society, and the environment got in the way of you making money off your building, free market though right, you all love that, so adapt.”
That’s what I have to say to commercial real estate owners. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-10-06 |
Part money part ego. The ego part is managers need to justify their job and a lot of it is overseeing employees. In a physical office you need way more management since you can't be everywhere at once overseeing things.
Money is likely the bigger factor though. Office space is normally leased in large time frames 5-10 years. So all the management sees is a building they are forced to pay for being empty. And I guess this feeds back into ego, nobody wants to be left holding the bag of "Who bought the lease on this building we aren't using?"
And as others have said, a lot of cities are actively paying businesses to get people back in the office because a lot of downtown areas are only supported by those going to the office jobs so a lot of small downtown businesses are dying without the daily foot traffic. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-10-06 |

As an MBA, I can confirm a majority of this. While I didn't go to a tier one or Ivy League school, I've met many MBAs who went straight to big four/general consulting who have this mindset. I'd say about 15-25% of my graduating class were competent individuals, adept at critical thinking, ethical and a value to a long term business. The rest were morons or absolutely the type of asskissers that float to the top but never actually do any work. Unfortunately, the floatsam are propped up by the universities since there's zero interest in failing an MBA student (prestige and the tuition the university gets for new applicants), and much like doctors even those with a barely passing grade get the same title. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-10-06 |

Idiots like you need to understand that outsourcing to cheap labor in foreign countries, while laying off people who live in the country the company operates in, helps to tank the company's stock and public image.

That's the rub though. All that stuff costs money...it costs even more money if you want to move off grid eventually because land & equipment all cost money.

They weren't sexist because scientists ran the world. They were sexist because of the religious influence on culture that religious assholes and other leaders shoved down societies throats.

I agree with you, nothing to understand. The quality goes down. The owners of these companies and their upper management know that, but the saved cost on salaries justifies is still a better trade off for most.

I have zero sympathy for people not wanting to return to work. You willingly accepted an office job years ago. During the pandemic you received an incredible privilege that many did not- you got to stay home which helped keep you safe and saved you money.

Ehh the EU is a lot more technocratic than the US, and econometrics can be pretty rigorous as far as data goes. I have a knee-jerk “oh bullshit” reaction to that statement because of neoliberal conmen like Bernanke, Krugman, and Powell in the USA, but my skepticism is a lot more tempered for the EU. Fuck Paul Krugman in particular, that guy is such a useless smug hack. I’d say he disgraces the Nobel prize, but it’s not possible for it to be any less legitimate after they gave one to Henry Kissinger.
EU countries put legit economists like Yanis Varoufakis in positions of power. The U.S. puts University of Chicago freaks in charge. American neoliberal economists are more like the medieval Catholic Church popes than actual scientists. It’s an ideology, and they use it to loot, rape, and pillage the global south.

Electronic babysitters. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
They had the bright idea of getting a whole bunch of new people fresh out of college that would work for peanuts. What they didn't seem to grasp is that an experienced employee is worth three inexperienced ones. Especially when it comes to training people.
The casino I was a slot machine technician for failed to grasp that. Most of their customers are older people who prefer older machines with fewer bells and whistles. Guess who was the only tech within 500 miles who knew how to fix them? Guess who they overworked until he started making mistakes out of sheer exhaustion, and they fired? The casino has changed hands three times since they fired me, 8 years ago, and it was practically empty on the last Friday night I visited. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |

I think a lot of people are missing the point here. What Google is trying to buy is a trial they think they win that will help them establish a precedent for future claims against them. They think they can win a bench trial, but jury trials are unpredictable.
This specific case is very small in terms of damages ... Google makes $2.3m every fraction of an hour. However, if they are found guilty they can more easily be penalized for the same actions in the future. If they beat this case, it becomes harder to bring these claims against them in the future. Future cases might include more damages, and they will definitely rack up a lot more legal fees.
They are honestly probably spending a lot more on fees to their lawyers than the damages in this trial. The money is not the issue, the precedent is. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-10-06 |

So what I got out of this is if you're rich enough, you get to decide whether you got a judge or a jury by paying for it. Since corporations are also people. What you're saying is rich people have more rights than poor people. Which at least is honest if nothing else | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-10-06 |
Jury trials as much as we don't want to admit it, are less about the law as they are about dealing with 'public opinion'.
There is a reason why jury nullification is such a bad word in the legal system.
A bench trial may still depend on the whims of an individual (the judge), but it's just one individual and it's far easier to appeal them applying biases than it is dealing with an entire jury and trying to claim they didn't rule correctly because they thought Google was a big bad evil. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-10-06 |
There should be a law that whenever any government worker receives a cash donation to alter there opinion or to derictly influence a decision that cash needs to be given in the form of gold bars that are dropped on the workers from the ceiling.

Looks like a partial antibody fused with a fluorescent dye.
