No joke, I see this becoming more common. They’re even doing it the way I imagined: straight up integrated with onboarding.

Maybe it’s an outspoken prediction, that in the future many more businesses will prefer a unionized workforce, but I think a number of current societal and market vectors would suggest that trend. In particular, consider the variety of HR-related logistics, liabilities, and relational concerns of a modern business that amount to operational overhead. You can likely imagine ways that unions might simplify, stabilize, or fully externalize that friction, such that the increased productivity outweighs higher labor expenses, similar to the way efficiency wages in labor economics can ultimately reduce turnover related expenses. That’s just one way unions could become an attractive solution to employers and employees alike.

At any rate, it’s what I would prefer if I needed to hire W2s, to the extent that I’d be willing to help spin up local chapters if necessary, and it only takes a handful of successful examples to accelerate labor trends.

You’re “just asking questions.” Totally harmless.

Ouch, she must have been frustrated after that. Hopefully next time she delivered her hint in the form of a question.

Still says “friend rice” over here lol. Does your instance reflect edits?

Same, in fact nonfiction turned out to be preferred. I thought it was because research papers were boring enough to put her to sleep, but she said it was more about vocal dynamics since academic writing often takes the form of recitation while fiction tends toward dramatization, where the former is steady, planned, and mostly predictable while the latter is intentionally novel, so to speak.

Mmm, understood. Antiheroics are especially well-regarded. I’ll be sure this is accurately reflected in the report.

In case you’re wondering about the downvotes, using any search index verbification other than “Google” demonstrates greater techno-activism than pointing out that DDG uses the Bing API. Your effort has been noted, however, and will be evaluated at the next summit.

Oh, but if you mean from different SSIDs then checkout load balancers like Speedify.
