Ah, apologies I didn't realise I was meant to starve and completely socially isolate myself in order to have enough money to put away savings.

Has anyone stopped to think the reason why the newer generations aren't putting money away is because many of them don't have that money because costs are going up and up while their pay is either stagnant or rising below the rate of inflation.

Completely off-topic - was scrolling past on Kbin and the image for the thumbnail reminded me of this stupid meme from years back

Because it's worth knowing beforehand what a company is really like behind closed doors.

Some companies are great, some suck in standard corporate fashion, but there are some out there that are exceptional in sucking...

I'll use myself an example... the last company I worked for, our team was constantly given deadlines that were impossible to meet within work hours. The company basically refused to pay for what was essentially mandatory overtime required to catch up - wage theft by a different name.

Fortunately my role allowed me to push back, but most of peers didn't - we were all straight out of university, some needed the money/job, but most just didn't know how to fight in the corporate environment.

Not to mention that a few folks who did try to complain against the company conveniently found themselves fired for some miscellaneous breaches of contract. From what I heard, one was even fired based on their reaction to being told they were being dismissed - quite literally entrapment.

If you're wondering why we didn't sue or anything like that, again we were all straight out of uni, we barely knew what our working rights were...

Which is why Glassdoor was important - it was how most of these folks got word out about the company and tried to warn other potential candidates of what they were walking into.

The company knew about it too because they posted multiple fake reviews to try to drown out the real ones. I know for a fact that if they were able to find out who posted these, they would have retaliated, likely in the form of litigation.

At the point where Putin can quite easily have any popular opposition stricken from the ballot, imprisoned, or worse still coincidentally fall from a building or endure some "freak accident", is there all that much use in pretending any opposition ever had a chance to win?

Exactly how do Glassdoor expect people to give earnest reviews of their employers (which is literally the core of their business) if those people can't trust Glassdoor to not to throw them under the bus when they give honest reviews of malicious employers?

Talk about sabotaging your own business model - idiots.

It's a crime that many people have to fight to merely exist then this piece of shit decides to rub it in by suggesting those folks eat cereal for dinner, as though that's a realistic or fair solution to the problem, especially while full well knowing he's going home to a 5-star dinner likely cooked by a private chef.

Dude - you're either stupid enough to not realise the irony of what you've just said, or you're trolling. For your sake, I kinda hope it's the latter

Technically speaking yes, but that assumes they're treated the same. It's almost certain that if the executioners are under the illusion their anesthesia has worked, they're not going to do things in such a way as to minimise pain.

Prisons seem determined to turn executions into torture sessions - and while the need for capital punishment can be debated all day, we can all agree that the death is supposed to be the punishment, not the procedure.

Of an overdose sure, but if they botch it the other way, there's a good possibility the prisoner never properly goes under or they wake up during the execution, either way experiencing the full pain of death.

That I'd figure is the worse of the results, and likely the one that'd happen given these guys seem to have a knack for torturous executions.

If they can't properly enact what should've been a painless execution, how do you expect them to properly anesthetise someone?

Well that makes sense - without any exhaust, the volume of nitrogen available wouldn't properly displace the air from his lungs before he put the mask in...

So he could've essentially just died from regular asphyxiation, which is quite painful, with a side of nitrogen.
