Surprise, Space Karen, places other than the US have actual employee protection laws.

I’m always baffled how US slavers fall for that trap again and again.

The US doesn’t fall for anything; the pols are paid to not work for the people. It’s greed, not idiocy.

Well it’s not like Musk was fined, the company has to pay.

Yep, that wouldn’t fly in Canada either lol
Mighty@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
you know what I always stan for? “former Twitter”. I just love that shit! I hope it always stays like this to show that the rebranding didn’T work
CodexArcanum@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I’ve been thinking we need to get aspirational and take it to the next level:
Instead of “X (formally know as Twitter)”, the time has come for “Twitter (currently called X)”.

Don’t even acknowledge the current name of the site, just keep calling it Twitter.
pyre@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
just call it twitter. literally everyone knows what it is, and twitter.com still redirects there so who gives a shit what he’s calling it. don’t show his site the courtesy he doesn’t show to his own daughter.

He literally still called the posts tweets so…

I’m just sad we aren’t at calling it “formerly facebook” instead of meta
spongebue@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I’m not a fan of the company, but at least this one has a handful of different platforms underneath it - Oculus, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook. Having Facebook the product and Facebook the overarching company kind of ads a little complication.
I don’t quite feel the same way about Alphabet/Google, but at least that’s more subtle.
X can fuck the duck right off.

The meta rebranding is not as evil as the hostile takeover of Twitter. So I am inclined to accept that name change but I do not know really what using meta means.
I don’t use FB, if I did I would still say FB. I use WhatsApp and I don’t call that meta. I guess the individual products just keep their names here.
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
I just don’t call it anything. I avoid anything related to Facebook or Meta.
Dkarma@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
X is simply too vague.

It was more fun watching this loser lose before I realized it’s all they really do.
fpslem@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Extremely hardcore.

Shame it wasn’t a class action suit. $600k is peanuts compared to $600k per violation.
iAvicenna@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
my exact thoughts, every single employee who received this email should have sued his ass. You are only required to work as much as your contract details and this a clear instance of workplace bullying
LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Exactly this has to have happened several times where are all the others fired for this?
latenightnoir@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
This is why I never read my emails.

Now that they won - the effort to collect what they won can start…!

If coos don’t want to their they shouldn’t get paid. Or are getting somewhere else

If coos don’t want to their they shouldn’t get paid.
I think this should be “If COOs don’t want to work there, they shouldn’t get paid”.
Or are getting somewhere else
No idea on this bit. Maybe “or should get a job somewhere else”?

Did you have 3 strokes while typing that comment?
NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I have heard that after 3 strokes you are out…
Sir_packsalot2@lemmynsfw.com 5 weeks ago
Just 2. I killed more brain cells not defending cops.
Sir_packsalot2@lemmynsfw.com 5 weeks ago
It’s very simple. If person fails to do their job you fire them. People supporting there must be a meaning behind
NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I just noticed that I like posts with “X ordered to do…” sooo much better than posts with “Elon says…”
admin@lemmy.my-box.dev 5 weeks ago
I prefer the latter, because it’s so much easier to filter out posts about Elon than it is to filter out posts about X (without creating a ton of false positives).
Nima@leminal.space 5 weeks ago
exactly this. i have a filter on certain keywords. his name is in there but there’s nothing I can do to avoid posts about the platform.
it’s super irritating.
