Come on guys, you're all falling for obvious bait.

Some people see a fishing line in the water and shout "this is bait!"
But I only see a pretty little neon snack.
It's basically all of the content on r/antiwork after that community decided to throw itself off the golden gate bridge over an awkward interview that didn't even fucking matter, on Fox "news" of all places
People are still bleating about that interview like it was death of all. Talk about writing the enemy's propaganda for them...
Yeah, I still can't believe after all this time that people haven't gained some perspective on that. Like, Fox News viewers were never going to respect an antiwork community regardless.
I can't help but think that part of it is based on subconscious transphobia about the mod who gave the interview, especially considering all the blatant misgendering and disproportionate rage directed at them by the community.
It was a really disturbing outcome, and the interview itself was insignificant compared to the behavior of the users. I've never seen such a large community implode over something so small. That was one moment I realized that ... maybe I shouldn't really be on reddit.
I mean the fact that people seem to think that a growing global movement on workers rights was derailed by one debacle of a fox news interview of a reddit mod is...not a good look overall. I legit got attacked on lemmy a couple of days ago for pointing out hey notice how a right wing fuckhead getting pwned doesn't destroy their reputation? Ya wanna think about that and why you're doing their propaganda for them?
it really felt like a purity politics moment. Bug fuck insane when you're talking about change.
Yeah, I've heard of making a mountain out of a molehill, but this was more like making an anthill into Mt. Everest. And anyone who tried to approach the situation rationally was immediately shouted down by angry mobs. It was hugely disappointing to see.
I was already gone by that time, disappointing to see, but also what I've come to expect from Reddit at this point
'filled with people who believe it is more important to do nothing wrong than it is to do something right'
The equivalent of burning down your house because a window got dirty
Yeah, this is a pretty sad bait for Internet points. The AI BOTs are getting lazy.
Official company policy being printed and posted on the refrigerator... totally legit. SMH
Totally. Pretty sure it would be illegal of an employer to ask this here in the UK, probably the US too.
Just cause it's illegal hasn't stopped plenty of shitty bosses
Illegal? Yes.
Stops businesses from doing this kind of BS? No.
Also, is this a legit thing posted at a legit workplace? Probably not.
