Just came to say that companies will do exactly that if the law allows.

Entry level job:

  • Req 1
  • Req 2

Pay: $1-500,000

and pay you the lowest number you'll say yes to

Its not specific to warehouses. This is how most of the industrial sector operates. This is where all the products and their precursors come from every single day. Reducing production reduces supply (in term sky rocketing price) and literally every single part of the supply chain of almost all products are actively strained.

Again I agree with the other commenter that it doesn't mean it shouldn't happen for office workers, just that everyone who spouts this off completely forgets about a VERY LARGE and IMPACTFUL portion of the labor market

Hydrogen is going to become more commercially available with it being pushed into the steel industry. It is being trialed for direct injection into blast furnaces in order to reduce carbon emissions, and so far it has been going well. It will need more active supply to make an impact, amd that is already in the works.

Source: I work for a steel company who is trialing this currently, and hydrogen providers are stepping up their infrastructure as we speak

FYI, Biden did end up getting them their sick days. He never stopped pressuring the companies. There was just very little reporting on it so I don't think anyone found out. I thought the same until someone corrected me and linked what I'm putting below

Honestly (this is cliche as fuck) but keep at it. I think the contract positions I took helped me build a slightly stronger resume than just having worked highschool/college jobs, even though they were not directly in my intended field. I am a chemical engineer by education, and worked 2 contract jobs in "Product safety & Regulatory Compliance" (which I hated btw). I was afraid that it would essentially lock me into a field that I really had no interest in. This was not the case I discovered. I now have a job as a process engineer in a steel mill and absolutely love everything that I do. IIRC when they contacted me for the interview for this job, I straight up had forgotten I had applied because I had sent so many out. I believe I had applied multiple months prior before they ever even reached out. With how tight the labor market is currently (in the U.S.) I am seeing a lot of places have more legitimate "entry level" requirements. For example, my mill dropped its "prior industrial site experience" requirement

ENTRY LEVEL POSITION [Insert job title]

Requirements:

  • 10+ Years in a similar environment
  • 2+ Years of management experience

or

You apply and literally never get any form of anything back besides a confirmation email "thanks". That was the absolute most annoying, demoralizing shit when I was searching for a job post school. I tumbled around 2 contract positions and finally have landed somewhere that I love, but fuck me was it hard on me mentally to keep farming out applications for basically a year, and hear back (I dont care if its a no, i just want some form of an answer!) less than 2% of the time

What, is this Organic Chem?

Actually a very fair point, and something that I do in fact find interesting is that it hasn't breached FO4's numbers. That game burned me so fucking hard lol. I bought that pile of shit at full price (last game I ever purchased at launch), and it ran SOOOOOO bad. Like less than 20 fps in any city bad. I tried to push through the framerate/bugs to get to the good and for me it just never came. I dropped that game after 1 playthrough and I have 0 desire at all to ever pick it up again. I have replayed skyrim (heavily modded at this point) and FO:NV (FO3 didnt work right on my W10 machine, i wonder if it works now with W11 and compatibility mode. I would replay that for sure), but I think with FO4 the charm had worn off. Playing a game that felt like oblivion [Not in a literal sense, but in the "its a bethesda RPG" sense] (with shitty quest writing) in the modern day at sub 20 fps for the price of $60 was one hell of a wakeup call.

So all of that is to say, I find it surprising that their new flagship has not beaten FO4's numbers. Perhaps they burned a lot more people than just me?

I do not know a single person IRL who has purchased this game (across multiple platforms). We all played and love to this day, Skyrim, FO3, FO:NV (my friends like FO4, it wasn't for me personally, I found the story incredibly boring....the dogshit performance on release also never helped). So I am wondering what their gamepass numbers are vs. full purchases. Steam (the numbers cited in the article) would be purchases, but I would be interested one day to see the split of gamepass to purchase users

Very fair, have a nice day/night!

Okay, but why am I buying a game purely so that someone else can make it worth my money? I played THE FUCK out of vanilla skyrim and loved it far before modding it. I could not even finish FO4 on release and have never gone back (I'll say it, it was boring! Skyrim actually kept me engaged/caring, FO4 cannot) I'm fine with heavily modding my game, but fuck me the base game needs to be at least enjoyable first
