My former employer did RTO with 2 weeks notice, no exceptions. A coworker who had actually moved to a different state moved their family again to comply, only to be laid off months later.

I had sold my car and planned to never own another. Plus the few times I had been in the office were awful, managing virtual meetings with coworkers around and overseas, listening to a sales rep in the next cubicle discussing how best to defraud their customers, etc. I loved that job and my boss fought hard for my ability to stay remote, but they were convinced 100% RTO is the only way to survive the tariffs.

I once had a car stop working while waiting at a stoplight. Light turns green, press gas pedal, nothing. In a panic, I just keyed it off and started it again, and luckily that did the trick. I don't think I would have had the sense at the time to use hazards if that hadn't worked.

I get that I'm apparently the weird one here, but I don't get why people put up with this instead of just using your subscriptions feed. I turned off watch history a long time ago and it has been great.

First time I've seen this take. BL2's story is my favorite of the series, and the best feature of the game IMO. Then 3 happened...

Crashlands.

+1 for Cradle. His current series "The Last Horizon" is great too, a fun trope filled science-fantasy.

[–] Xechon@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Totally agreed.

I get the sentiment, though doesn't it seem unfair to assume all tradition has such grounding? Plus, disrespect is the mechanism for weeding out harmful or redundant traditions. It's fine.

The best part is (in my experience) come Sunday those spots will be filled, most often not by handicapped people.
