Didn't Congress vote against the war? It's hard to keep track with these AI nazis

Great. As of the oceans weren't suffering enough now we're going to kick up a bunch of silt for money.

But what about Tower 7

I have an awesome job at a telescope. I love it. It's an industrial jobs and I get to work in a range of things from moving giant machinery with overheads cranes to repairing fiber on light collecting instruments. Last year a telescope operator quit and they created a temporary assignment because it would be too expensive for me to fill in at my hourly rate (though it's already in my job duties), effectively to move me to salary. Management and university HR determined a salary and implemented it effective immediately without any good faith offer. By the time I realized how bad the salary was and complained about it, I lost 214 hours of overtime and $7500 dollars. I continued working the telescope operator position as hourly for the next few months until they assigned someone else (who doesn't have the job duties). Their explanation? "We though you agreed" and "you worked an exempt job". Terrible explanations for how this was legal. I've been borderline tolerating it but this week I left the telescope balling with tears in my eyes and crying because I can't tolerate it anymore and likely won't return to work because they have destroyed all my trust in management and the university. Such a small amount of money for them but a huge amount for me.

Thank you, kind stranger

Definitely, but when it did happen it was catastrophic.

Did you also learn of the collapse of these under the weight of the workers? Horrifying

How is this even supposed to work?
