Some places with things like snap elections also have limits on campaign lengths and how much money can be used in an election.

They also need to get more creative with who they are hiring and what “benefits” they are offfering. A split schedule like that sucks for someone looking for anything more than part time work. If they can come up with benefits that attract say, stay at home parents looking to make some extra money, that particular split in the schedule may not be so bad for them. But they would also likely need other non-traditional side benefits that full time workers in other jobs might not, like the ability to bring younger children (not yet in school) to work with them on their route. A benefit like that might bring in more drivers and not even cost the company anything but too many places are stuck in a traditional workplace mindset.

I hated working from home, it’s not for me. As soon as I could I went back to the office and I’ve turned down jobs that require too much WFH.

However, I do work with a lot of WFH people. My only “complaint” about their “productivity” is to please, for the love of God, have them working the same timezone hours as the area they are servicing if their job is time sensetive. If I need to get ahold of someone anytime something goes wrong with a hauler cause you’re the only one with access to the system then don’t have your work day be hours off from typical trucking hours in my location! Looking at you logistics…

It looks like this subscription may be for their “smart” printers. So the subscription would be for the connection to phone service. Why you’d need a smart printer is beyond me but they apparently think there is a market for it.

I think it’s for “smart” washing machines that you can control from your phone etc. So that’s likely what the “updates” would be related too…why you’d need to control your washing machine from afar is beyond me but some people love smart gadgets and will by anything that connects to their phone.

Is that on purpose or is the thing so badly made that it’s blinking like that?

I can’t figure out where all the lemmy people posting about reddits “power tripping power mods” were posting. I think I ran across one mod in the wild (niche sub) that I thought was crazy and they got run off the platform eventually. What were people posting that they were getting banned all over the place? Maybe the mods weren’t the problem if multiple were banning you?

It think they’re mad because some of them already paid for a year and the awards and gold were part of why they got premium. Now awards and fold are disappearing mid-september and they feel they aren’t getting what they paid for anymore.
