HR in all companies should adopt an approach of writing rejection letters to applicants. The worst part of applying for a job is not getting any feedback on why you never got a call. Even if the company is using AI to screen applications, the AI could issue a rejection, saying what keywords the application was missing.
I think the fact that my coworker texted me to ask about the progress of another coworker is adequate demonstration of why I turn off work chat.
Windows has always been the worst operating system, but when you combine it with Azure, you get something much, much worse. Why does Microsoft suck so much? #windowssucks #microsoftsucks #fmwl(fuck my work life)
Coworker complaining about me permanently setting my chat status to away. He's lucky that I even bother to have it turned on. Has no one ever read Peopleware (DeMarco and Lister)?
Chat has to come second only to open offices as a productivity killer. At least we don't have to resort to disabling the speakers in the ceiling anymore.
So far, all the worker organizing books I've read have all concentrated on non-professional work (excluding nurses and teachers), but in the USA, professional jobs are seeing the same type of events. i.e., they mirror the decline of the good paying factory jobs. Worker organizing isn't done much in these types of jobs. The reason might be that the pay scale leads many to fell bad about complaining, but with salaries starting to dip into actual poverty levels, that should be changing.

In case you missed it, Google Play recently removed the @Tusky Mastodon app without proper explanation.
Tusky is one of the best Android Mastodon apps, with nothing controversial in it at all. It's quite disturbing that Google can and does act like this.
An alternative and much better way of getting Tusky onto your Android device is by using the independent FOSS app store @fdroidorg
