2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

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.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
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 or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. 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.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
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.
Tl;dr:
"I don’t want to hear feedback. Just do your job.”
“We value you. But a promotion isn’t in the cards right now.”“
"This is on a need-to-know basis. Information will be shared when the time is right.”
“We can talk about compensation at the next review.”
"We need to fill this role. Let’s not share those details with candidates.”
"I called you last night at 9:00 p.m. Why didn’t you answer?”
"We don’t have time for fun.”
Honestly, it's missing the following gems...
"We are looking for an industry leading ninja..."
"We're a work hard, play hard team/company"
I would also add any sort of variation of "at this job, we're like a family!"
A Manson family
"Fast paced work environment"
"We are family here"
“We treat our employees like family.”
I joined a " we are family" company and got shouted at by the founder because I wasn't a mind reader and didn't do something I had no idea needed done.
Sounds exactly like family, except I was hired into the position of toddler.
Fuck that noise.
I’m reminded of this guy I fired after he ghosted me when he no-call-no-showed.
“Wait? You don’t treat everyone like family?”
“No. I treat everyone like employees.” The look on his face was kinda priceless.
(For the record, I do try to take care of my employees, and the minimum there is paying what they’re worth- but the relationship is definitely employer-employee. The relationship is inherently transactional; pretending otherwise is exploitation)
“Industry leading ninja” is so cringey. It’s like a very out of touch old guy trying sound relevant. I AM an old guy so I have some knowledge here. 😀
Ninja, literally, "invisible", or perhaps generously, "spy" is such an insane term for a business to use anyway.
It connotates someone who is willing to break the law - kill if necessary- to bring down the opposition. Not someone connecting a new API node for Slack notifications
They probably actually mean Stakhanovite, but wouldn't bring themselves to use a communist term (/s).
News just doesn't mean what it used to
Sorry, I couldn't find a better sub. It's like misc news I guess? So I just posted it up hoping to get some decent chatter going in the comments.
Lemmy users hate these 5 weird tricks for boosting engagement
lmao I guess so huh? I don't know man. I appreciate just having a few simple subs and posting to them though. I think thats what I was really getting at. I got the news article from google news and thought Id share it.
Companies that are or feel they are doing big things in the world give you a spiel about being part of something big and you should be proud and being part of such an amazing company is worth it even if there may be less compensation than might be possible at another company or other industry.
I can't parse this into anything meaningful.
Companies that feel they are "important" treat their employees like shit
Yep, and tell you you should be proud of it.
Ha ya I had a bit of trouble getting that out.
