My company initiated a hiring freeze last November, just after my group lost 3 team members. Then in February they did layoffs, my group was not effected. The hiring freeze is now lifted, but what we were never told is that when they did the layoffs, they also “erased” any positions that were open prior to the layoffs, including the positions that were open in my group before the hiring freeze the previous November. So those jobs are just gone, and the slack that my group has picked up? That’s just the new normal now. It’s bullshit.

………2/2

Sees it’s a shitpost.

Makes old man grumbly noises….

Having known a few Aussies, I have never heard them leave out “that”. It fits in though with some of the other oddities in dialect they have.

It is kinda funny that they mixed up Stevie wonder with another Blind musician. Quite a blunder to mix them up though, Stevie has such a distinctive look.

This is awesome. As someone that games on all 3 platforms, I’m happy to see that Linux usage has gone up so rapidly, even if it is only because of the steamdeck. It’s a great way to introduce people to the wonders of Linux! And yes I do game on my MacBook. The sims lol, it is actually nice to have SOMETHING to play when I feel like not working. And a surprising # of my favorite games work on Mac wonderfully like cities skylines and the 2 point games and many more. I’m always happy when any platform other than windows can play games as collectively these smaller platforms need to dethrone windows, in my opinion.

It isn’t even something any government should be allowed to enforce in my opinion.

It is quite common in my experience to use “getting a check” as a figure of speech. Similarly I’ll say “I get my check every Wednesday” but I have direct deposit. And I’m not even old lol

Only if you’re the Hermione Granger type lol

Glitch looks like they’re stalking!

This is amazing

Whoa… Are you THE Sprog?

We must endure so that future generations may benefit!

The memes on lemmy are better than Reddit could have ever provided. Let’s do the forecast agaaiiiiinnnnn!

Wow a Fry and Laurie meme! I love it lol. I discovered Fry and Laurie after watching house and looking the actors up, it’s a hilarious bit of British comedy, I highly recommend if you like Monty python or anything like that!

Make Lemmy alternative and migrate here! Sorry that’s not really a tip, but still it’s a good idea!

I’m a millennial, and I still dress all emo even in my 30’s. My 20 year old coworker even complimented my black skinny jeans with zippers in random places the other day. No reason to stop loving your late teen/early 20’s aesthetic! Don’t let the world crush your creativity, do you and to hell with everyone’s opinions!
