      You can get food through Amazon. Meta does nothing but take from us all. That guy that runs it is a creepy piece of shit with no vision.

    If you lay off people recently on leave, the rest of your work force remaining now has a much higher average of leave balances and need/likelihood for leave?

      Yes, on Planet Lizard that’s what they do to improve work-life balance. Mark doen’t always understand human psychology, you try helping them and they keep complaining!

    In case some may not be aware, it seems this is about FMLA leave. The Family and Medical Leave Act in the United States guarantees a certain amount of time on unpaid leave for certain family and medical situations. The only protection you get from the law is your employer has to offer you your job back if your leave complies with the act.

    Otherwise, there is no federally guaranteed paid leave (*) of any type. And it’s usually entirely legal to fire people because they carry high (or more commonly low) PTO balances. (California might be a little different on this).

    (*) The only other form a federally guaranteed leave I know about is if you are a military reservist or national guard called up to active duty, your employer must allow you to return to your job after completing active duty.

      If AI can’t be used for laundering corporate decisions and being used as a scapegoat, can it really be used for anything?
