Or it shouldn’t be a fine, but criminal prosecution for the executives responsible.

The only worse choice for CEO is Chambers. She had a valid reason to just fire his ass. If he’s not willing to do what he’s told to do, then he’s not willing to do his job. It looks to me like the board wanted to get rid of him for reasons that had nothing to do with cancer. Why reference the cancer at all?

I have the feeling the only reason they didn’t just get rid of him was because of the cancer diagnosis. Trying to be “nice”. But even if the cancer was the reason for not just cutting him loose, there’s no reason to bring it up.

How does the CEO not know referencing the cancer would expose them to liability? Did they not sit down with their lawyers before sitting down with him?

Now they’re probably going to lose in court and be forced to pay him off.

They should fire Chambers.

I have heard that the younger generations just want to bang on the drum all day.

You just have to picture your legs as spokes in invisible wheels.

What they thought was that they had come up with a way to move the checkout cashier job to people in India so they wouldn’t have to pay minimum wage workers in the U.S.

Pretty stupid idea, but it seems to me that it was just Amazon trying to ship jobs overseas to cut labor costs. Perhaps they thought eventually they’d be able to use AI to screw over the Indian workers too.

I’m gonna stand with LEGO on this one.

I run Linux on my personal machine.

My needs aren’t particularly demanding. Web browsing, watching streaming services, accounting software, some low impact games, 3D modeling, and running a video server.

I assembled my machine from $500 worth of parts 12 years ago. In between, I’ve added some RAM, and about 8TB of mirrored disk to store movies for the video server.

Admittedly, I’m starting to be concerned about the age of the disks, and I think I’d like a better processor, but money is tight.

Given the age of the thing, there’s a chance that it’s just going to drop dead one of these days, but it’s been running for years without me having to do anything but install updates for the OS.

Well, I think it’s not about what we want at all. It’s about what they can get away with while not affecting the CEO’s compensation.

We’re just the livestock they harvest money from.

According to the article, it’s the payment processing system.

I’ve been living in my house for 26 years and we still occasionally get mail for previous residents.

Get a treadmill desk.

A headset might be illegal to use in a car. Check your local laws.

Looks like it would be legal in PA as long as it’s only one ear and it doesn’t block other sounds.

Obligatory capitalism is bad too (but at least I’m in less danger of getting vanned in the middle of the night for insulting random great leader - attemtping to undermine the social order or whatever they called thoughtcrimes).

Capitalism requires the limits imposed by a strong, functional democracy, otherwise it drifts into horrifying tyranny.

Unrestrained capitalism can give communism a run for it’s money in terms of genocide.
