I understand what they're trying to do - bring attention to total cost of ownership and the price disparity between petrol and electricity. It's clearly marked and impossible to miss when you're on the website speccing out a car, so it's maybe a little initially deceptive, but not scummy imo. But it also leads to screenshots like this...

Well there's already a preexisting list. Presumably, projects today that might have been at the top of the list are now deprioritized in favor of projects that meet these criteria.

From the thumbnail, I assumed this was a British story for some reason.

"I'm lovin' it" wouldn't have been better in this case, however.

She's not a teacher, shes in the library. But - she is allowed absolutely zero ot. She's already had her time card adjusted on days that she worked early or late to match her scheduled hours. And they only pay her for 7 hours a day, but it's an 8 hour work day and she hasn't once had the time to take a hour for lunch.

What even IS the recourse when it's not a comproration, but the government that is stealing your wages? 🤷 I think I'm more upset about it all than she is, because the quality of life is way higher than her last job. And so I'll just keep it all to myself.

Thanks, Disney.

Thanks. Damn, he just has so little control, he'll say almost anything. It's not exactly encriminating but leaves little doubt that Drumpf knew exactly what was going on, as if we didn't know he participated.

My wife got her first pay check last week at her new job in a US school district. I was certain something was wrong when it came in, but the pay stub did nothing to show the breakdown of hours, rate, etc. She finally got a response today - and I've learned that school breaks are NOT PTO. She gets zero PTO she can take during the school year, and while frustrating not to be able to choose when you take your time off, I assumed that was just because she gets the summer off. But apparently she gets no PTO AND takes 71 days out of the year off without pay, effectively. So they do you the favor of paying you over 12 months, but you still only get paid for hours worked. The rate of pay seemed like it would be a pay raise on the surface, but I never anticipated needing to dock it by 20%.

Zero PTO. Just the perks of American life.

Thanks, my mind when to nuclear radiation, not heat radiation. Makes sense!

Better than 5x at 16h I guess. 😅
