    Tbh I don’t get why all these men who are as rich as god aren’t pumping large portions of the fortune into longevity research. Do they not want to live forever? We finally live in a time where we are starting to see real possibilities of growing all organs, and maybe even curing memory loss due to age. And they just, don’t seem worried?









  • Does that make sense? I feel my argument is lacking common sense I’m not seeing.

    There’s a couple issues with it. For specialized trainings, you’ll only have a few people with them, and with vacations you’ll need more. Training costs money.

    People will not work harder to cover. Longer, sometimes. Harder, rarely. The company still needs to make certain timelines. There’s an extent to witch employees can work “harder”. The more people off, the less you can just cover it with working harder.

    If you’re not going to hire people, the longer hours the employees work to do the work will be paid at over time rates. Those are not cheap


  • As much As I agree that pto needs to be required, it’s simply pure white collar thinking to think that more people don’t need to be hired to cover for vacations. In blue collar, labor jobs, the employer needs to hire temp workers (as my area does) or give other employees considerably more hours(some locals have flex employees that do pt most of the year and ft during vacation periods). The employer is out the wages it costs to pay the cover, it is not free. And the employer should be paying that.


  • Somewhat similar for me. I get my choice of positions at work because I can do every single one better than most everyone else. I play nice(but not too nice) so they’re willing to be flexible. Of course, sometimes management tries some shit, but that’s what the union is for.

    But overall, I get more hours (which I want) because I work hard, and the positions I want. I’m aware it’s luck with my management team, but it’s still great
