Depends on if it coincides with raises for working class staff, or there was enough transparency in operating costs and expenditures to be confident it’s not just being done for additional profit margins. If the cost of serving video has actually gone up by $2 * subscription count every month, then no problem. I suspect that isn’t the case, though.

If you remove mspaint.exe then Windows will refuse to boot. It’s true, I knew a guy!

Apple?

Good lord it’s everywhere. Get the flamethrowers…

Oh the flashbacks… Do you work in healthcare or banking?

Sounds like job security to me.

Keep calling it Twitter but add @Deprecated so future users know to avoid it?

Talk to a lawyer right away. This is screwed up and the lawyer may well take your case paid on contingency (eg, if and when you win a malpractice suit.)

Good luck. 4.5 hours is an eternity in the chair and the work sounds shoddy.

I’m less concerned with who people learn facts from than with the veracity and balance thereof. If it’s not for you, that’s fine, but there are plenty of people with limited interest in politics that would be willing to listen to a topic that their favorite comedian discusses and reconsider their views on that basis. Gatekeeping politics is how morons keep the greater populace ignorant and disengaged.

Freebre?

I’d speculate some combination of control over employees (poor management practices, etc) and making use of owned land/offices that are difficult to sell otherwise. Not much else makes sense to me, especially for tech companies where nearly the entire job exists in virtual space of some kind - no wrenches to turn.

Edit: Someone else suggested a way to “lay off” folks by having them voluntarily leave the job to avoid the return to office. That also sounds pretty plausible to me with the extent to which companies are starting to squeeze with what feels like an incoming recession period.
