Power dynamics is definitely part of it, and I've found that I have much better luck in interviews when I treat them as a conversation rather than just being grilled. It's easier to do in your 40s than in your 20s though.

On the one hand the way corporations expect loyalty and devotion all the time in return for a very small percentage of their profits being paid out to us as salary sucks. On the other, having to work if you want to eat is just kind of...life? Not saying we couldn't work on something better as a society, but there's been very few people at any point in human history who didn't have to work hard to survive. I'm glad that I get to at least do soulless work in an office which is mostly just boring instead of hard labor or something actively dangerous.

A lot of people with poorly developed social skills like to pretend that poorly developed social skills don't make them a bad coworker. I don't think I agree with that. Your job isn't just the stuff you like. Organization, prioritization, collaborating and interacting with your coworkers, attending meetings and making useful contributions, just generally not being a dick...all of those are your job. Interviews often take place after they're already convinced that you have the required background, so they're largely interested in discovering whether you're a good chemistry match for the team.

Can't really speak to grueling tech interviews though. That's a whole different category of thing.

Bees???

This might be meant to cover things like paid sponsorships.

Maybe we're only supposed to have 4 fingers like people on the Simpsons.

Saw one of those yesterday. Should be super illegal, they're so bright.

Er do people actually pay that high of fees for Uber eats? Maybe in NYC or something? I don't really use it if I can help it but I've never seen fees that high. Edit: although I will note that many of my experiences with GrubHub/doordash/Uber eats end with me looking at the fees, saying "yeah that's way too much", and closing the browser tab.

Wherever it is probably doesn't exist yet. But there will always be a next thing. If there were any viable outlet for average redditors to move to currently, they would've done it during the protests. I also think the average person just does not give a shit about federation and getting away from centralized control. They just want to be where people are.

Apparently it's an issue with newer versions of the Lemmy software. I can see posts from SJW and the number of comments, but if I click through on them I can't see any of the comments. It's been reported on the discord but no updates. There's also other stuff like the fact that sync can't deal with showing separate upvotes and downvotes, so you have to just show score. Lots of little random glitches from differences between reddit and Lemmy.

The author of sync basically goes completely off the grid for long periods of time (presumably due to irl priorities) and doesn't work on sync during these periods. It's always been a thing with sync. But Lemmy changes more frequently than reddit so the bugs can be more frustrating. I'm considering changing apps, honestly, because not being able to see comments on my home instance is driving me crazy. But I do really like sync's interface.
