So it still works beautifully

The 80s are such an odd choice to make a fashion come back. I can’t get past the current young people dressing like the white collar parents of my day. But I also see a bit of the 90s at play and it is interesting to see how fashion plays around like that

One shudders at the thought

It works a little different for employee owned companies, but you’ve the right spirit. This company grew from about 1972 on- a long, successful legacy. Shame to watch it fall

I worked for an employee owned manufacturing company for near ten years. The philosophy of our company was, “the essence of life is relationships”.

The founder of the company was the only religious person I knew who actually followed it’s teachings, he sold his stock to the company for less than it was worth until we were 100% employee owned. The stock price then shot up from $200 a share to $6k a share in ten years.

The company understood the importance of working ideas from the bottom up, (involving the lowest ranking employees just as much as the highest ranking). We understood the importance of company culture, and even had teams of people to make sure the needs of our employees were being met.

We had a supervisor who by all accounts was a fine supervisor on paper, however he rubbed every single employee the wrong way, he was a cunt if i may. With the support of all of us, we were able to, I don’t want to say get rid of him, it sounds cold, but his name came up on our (truly anonymous) survey one year the company asked him to resign, and he did.

The owner passed away in 2018, and shit got squirrely from there, i left during the pandemic. CEO and highest ranking positions then changed hands to folks not there at the founding of the company, I felt the culture shifting and left due to personal reasons. The stock has since tanked.

I dont understand why these companies don’t see the importance of uplifting their workforce.

I’ll never find and employer like that again i think. It was a magical decade. Of course my stock is tanked now, im to be cashed out this year.

The ladder has been pulled right before my time my whole life so this osnt new. I went from having enough for a down payment on a house, and now i wont even beable to afford a car lmao.

Not my looking like a psychopath to my husband deleting my long time google account to set up a burner (because i cant even use maps/tap to pay without one).

I’m tired of being tracked. Being on lemmy I’ve gotten multiple ideas to help negate these apps/tracking models. I am ever greatful. Theres stil so much more I need to learn/do however.

“people yelling in the background” is such an interesting way to hear a laugh track described.

I stuggled to get my son to watch any older cartoons as well. The only one he liked was Tom and Jerry

Another reason I’m glad to be off reddit. I still check the front page with no account, and they posted a wider image, With many in the crowd in blue. To me it looked altered, like one of those black and white colorized photos. I really can’t tell. The comments were full of people defending this.

I truly can’t tell whats real sometimes, but why tf would you wear blue? Even if more did… why? Match your wife dude- culturally in the states we wear black.

As a mother it’s giving: “I don’t care what (your friends) others are doing, My “president” (kid) should have more decency than this”

Obligatory fuck 2025 Reddit

Hey i wasn’t trying to be hard on you, sorry it came off that way. I’m not married either, and been with my, what we call, common law “husband” for many many years now. The last name thing is complicated for me too, you dont gotta explain to defend your choices, I don’t care what other folks do in their lives, not hurting anyone.

I just laughed and am knocking on you saying youve been meaning to ask her how she feels about the situation, and you’ve “been meaning to ask” for two years since you had the kids, goofball

I wasn’t married when I had my child. Chose to hyphenate. I’m unsure how I feel for your wife if this topic didn’t come up two years ago, goodness

I resent your comment, “I’m no girl so I couldn’t karma-bait using my pu$$y” This could have been said much differently. Im a girl, and back when I needed reddit karma to post in a sub I wanted to partake in, I just posted my baked goods on the baking sub. Not all women are like, I’ll just use my pussy, I’d argue most arnt like that. Give me a break yo. Why you gotta punch down on me because you need karma? Just post ur dick, oh im sorry your d!ck.

I was until a few years ago, a machine operator in plastic extrusion. All but one of our engineers were useless. Did they do work? Sure. Was it productive to the line? Occasionally…

We paid $20,000 for a new mil thickness tester, made by young engineers at the local university.

They held a whole “class” to show us how it worked, presented not by the ones who built it, but by our engineers.

It failed during presentation. So we all learned how to measure manually instead. It never worked. They ended up installing the old one back, which hardly worked.

Then for the next year it sat broken, and unless the old thickness tester was in a good mood, we had to do it manually, which was so utterly time consuming and difficult.

While I think engineers are important- so many just fuck around, least where I worked.

I find it peculiar we never heard about ms-13 until a few months ago (at most).

My great-great grandparents fled Europe during WW1 when they were teens.

Did they run away too?

I thought on this also, and I suppose in my “rule” to adhere by I would have to choose a time in human history. I’d likely choose a time from year 0-1000 but would need to research and get input from folks smarter than I before choosing the time that rule would be implemented.

Of course, it only bans colonization. This is specifically the act of taking over lands from those who are indigenous to said lands, usually by force. If the governments of two lands what to trade or sell their lands in agreement without force, this would not be illegal.

I’m certain humans would still find a way to be horrible in some other new fun way.

Fell asleep thinking of a question similar last night. No colonialism. Colonizing other lands outside of your own established borders would be forbidden.

How different the world would be.
