    What dystopia do you guys live in? I’ve worked for some small companies and some corporates and neither did this shit, that really wouldn’t fly here.

        That might be it. The more I learn the happier I am I live in EU.

          As a Brit who appreciated what the EU did for us: this makes me sad 😢

            Well, here’s to hoping that you’ll join us one day again :)

              This is from someone who doesn’t keep up at all: Does the UK plan on it? Are there at least people proposing rejoining?

                Nothing serious, but the general consensus online is that it would be the smart thing to do. Note the keyword online. Given that I frequented Reddit and now Lemmy, there’s obviously a bias.

                UK people were kinda drunk on their former glory and didn’t quite notice that basically everyone worth considering (US, EU, China) has the upper hand when dealing with them alone. Realistically speaking, they’ll have to join EU (or its successor) eventually if they want to stay relevant. We might be talking 10 years, 20 years, 50 or even 100. If I personally had to guess, it’s gonna be 20 to 40 years.

                Edit: Forgot to mention that UK had a lot of exceptions because they joined quite early where they had a lot more political strength over the union. When they join, they’ll have to do it by the same rules as everyone else without exceptions which many of them are salty about (meaning those who are generally pro-rejoin but not under the same rules as other countries).

        It’s legal to spy on your employees in USA?

        I’m beginning to think all their tinfoil conspiracy theories aren’t completely baseless…

          Why would it be tinfoil? The us culture is very much about hardcore capitalism. They don’t even have unions or proper vacations.

            Not true on either count. We just don’t have enough unions and only some of us have good vacation.

          Yeah, they lack personal freedom in USA, it’s just the way it is. Freedom means it’s ok for your boss to spy on you, they’re free to do that and you are free to be spied on. Oh and they get to own a gun which makes them like really really cool and tough.

            Depends what mean by owning a gun but some people are so insecure about their personal safety that they probably want one

            The NSA are not allowed to spy on their own citizens. That’s why they use data of friendly countries’ agencies.

              And yet it’s been proven they’ve been doing it anyway with no real changes or outcry afterwards
