There have been studies showing no loss in productivity too. But rich people want to fuck us over for no reason 🤷‍♀️

Wow they didn't even try to hide it and pretend it was due to "layoffs"

Which is still illegal btw, happened to my friend and the company had to pay him a bunch of money

Yeah I like having basic human rights. It's a big ask to even ask anyone to stay there, let alone move there. It's literally life and death for women who can't get an abortion.

Yeah I just wish they had gone into detail since this was a groundbreaking medical discovery

I wish this article talked about how they are treating it? They just said she is doing well

I would highly recommend you stop speaking for other autistic and ADHD people. If you think accommodations can help you with everything, that's great. I'm not doubting that. But it's ignorant as fuck to assume that your experience is the one true experience and you already know my entire life experience and autistic traits to be able to correct me like that.

Let other autistic and ADHD people speak for themselves. We are more than capable.

I mostly agree, except for the last part about marginalization. The idea you can always overcome whatever disability/disorder/whatever with hard work and the right mindset is not accurate at all. And that's not you wanting to be a victim, it's you advocating for what you need. Accommodations exist for everyone, they just cater to abled/neurotypical people instead. Once I finally admitted to myself I was disabled and stopped trying to live my life like I am 100% able bodied improved my life A LOT.

And disabled/chronically ill/neurodivergent people DO face a lot of discrimination regardless of if you want to admit it or not. We should be fighting for improvement in treatment, acknowledging people treat you like less of a person doesn't mean you actually are less of a person. ESPECIALLY in the current political climate... once LGBT+ people are dehumanized sufficiently disabled people are going to be next.

I don't disagree that neurodivergent people would have a way better time if people/society took them into consideration more. But I am low support needs and still consider it a disorder. My boyfriend has ADHD and agrees. While there are a lot of things that would be fixed by having sensory friendly environments for example, there are still a lot of things about being autistic that hinder me that I wish would go away regardless of what accommodations exist.

Keeping track of what to boycott became to burdensome, so I'm just kinda doing a universal boycott where I buy everything possible second hand.

Hobby Lobby is probably one of the biggest on my shitlist

I haven't paid attention for a couple years, but the last time they "stopped" they just started donating to a charity they made to cover up that they are still donating to the same places. But they didn't do it directly so it doesn't count.

And the owners themselves are still donating to anti LGBT shit regardless, at least one of them has been funding an organization that has been assisting with putting out all these recent anti LGBT+ bills.

Ok now we are gonna have to fight irl

Send me your address

 

I used to work for a company. Later I went to one of their competitors and was hired to build an improved version of their software. Now that I am looking for a job they are saying they will create a job opening for me to meet what I said I need to leave my current job.

Sounds good good to be true I feel like there is going to be a catch. I have no non compete. And I know better than to share any sort of company secrets between them.

I really appreciate what they are doing if it does come through, but I want to make sure I am taking everything I should into consideration...

 

Remember those peppery nuggets back in the late 90s-early 00s that they had at burger king? Those were the bomb. Often I crave them and weep because they are no more. The new burger king nuggets are tasteless trash. I need a dupe please

 

Exactly what the title says. I was asked my current base salary, not what I'm looking for. And when I refused they tried to pressure me into answering. I don't want them doing this to other people who don't know it's illegal.

I did try googling but didn't see any answers aside from "sue them". Shouldn't there be a way to report it to the labor board or something?
