News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

"OH no. Those poor white collar employees"
So anyways, here I was breaking my body doing a job that has to be done in person but earns less pay and benefits when al.....
"I can't work from home, so nobody should!!!"
Look, when people who don't not need to be present at an office can stay at home, it frees up the streets/trains etc for all the people who do. WFH benefits everyone, except owners of office buildings I guess, but fuck them lol
So you are someone who will pull down others to your own level of misery? What a jealous piece of shit you are.
You think Execs and Managers come in to the office daily?
And you know what? I think you should be earning more and have better benefits. Better than me, probably.
We have no quarry with each other. All of us deserve better.
Lol. I remember when Mark Shields said in one of his last appearances on the PBS News Hour something like "The democratic party used to party of the PBR and a whiskey shot, but now it's the party of Sauvignon Blanc." I guess I'm technically a tech bro, but I think you are spot on pointing out this conversation about "work" ignoring very important work that can't be done remote.
With a large increase in the number of office workers working from home, cafes opened in the suburban centres near me. Though the cafe workers have to work from work, it's certainly a benefit for them to be able to work walking distance from home instead of an hour bus commute away with expensive parking when they had to work in cafes near the offices
WFH moves the support jobs closer to home
Sure it doesn't help if you're in construction, but it's a net good for many people
Good. Sounds like you're a jealous asshole who gets what you deserve
We're the same 99%. They've tricked you into misdirection of your resentment.
