I’m guessing people rarely drop out by choice.
You can solve any academic problem with enough cash.
If you run out of money, you drop out. If you stressball and can’t complete courses, you drop out.
I’m the first generation to attend college, so maybe that blue collar spirit and a little luck kept me mostly in jobs since then.
cabin staff
Even that is biased.
“Industry-mandated safety officers who dole snacks when not handling emergencies” may be a bit closer to the mark.
That’s the standard for ALL flight attendants, changing that will be a huge blow to the industry
When “fair pay for fair work” is a detriment to the industry, the industry is already sick.
The first airline in this market that comes up to the “fair pay” line will win all the staff.
And a translator? It seems the comment needs laundering through gTranslate or something.
Yeah. I’ll interview with anyone who wants it, but for Palantir and Heritage Foundation and others who are actively working to make peoples’ lives worse? They’d get a very Canadian “no, sorry*, I would prefer not”.
but unfortunately #ACAB
If American Cops Are Bastards, you may be out of luck. My wife’s sister is a cop (not American) when she’s not Ambulance (or volunteer fire! She’s an over-achiever). I’ve known her longer than I’ve known my wife, and she’s stayed a really great person despite the horror (and poop) she’s seen.
But yeah, we need to pay American cops more so they can get better applicants and can then screen out and weed out the bastards.
I’d go back to waitering if I needed to – and if my feet weren’t so trashed from either combat boots or dress shoes already!
assist or partake in the murdering
Militaries outside of America do a LOT of non-murderous jobs. Sandbag the planet? Search and Recovery? Coordinating aid on the ground? When you’re a force that happens to be armed, it’s a different job. But they still need boots and belts and brass and buttons and berets and boomsticks.
My wife works in Accounts Receivable, and now manages a team who talks nicely to people about paying that debt over others, so their essential products arrive on time. She’s an absolute sweetie and I don’t know how she does it, but she’s excelled for a decade at it now.
travel to the US
They round up 12 people a month from New Zealand. NEW ZEALAND! Anyone hating on the nicest country on the planet really has mental issues they need to get solved.
I try to avoid working anyplace evil, so banks, oil companies, etc. and there are environments I can’t be productive in - government, healthcare, anyplace very structured and bureaucratic.
That’s who invented the Internet.
I work for a Contractor who contracts to Government, including Healthcare. The job is meh, but the people are absolutely awesome. The structure is actually a huge benefit, and it makes all the dotcoms’ seat-of-the-pants I.T stand out so much more. There’s no power-play to prevent updating software - for example - just because “Doug knows the CEO and he doesn’t want to” because Dougie’s written objection wouldn’t pass scrutiny – and, at most, Doug would get an extension to follow a set plan with milestones to get to that update anyway. But there are many examples where common dotcom slackery dies under review.
There are obvious and well-repeated problems with the overly-structured setup, but they’re different from the ones that bother me, and erring on the side of safety and most-benefit is what annoys people (“why can’t we have containers and supply-chain exploits like everyone elssssse”) the most.
Someone go find Danielle Smith. She can leave any time, but she doesn’t get the land.
And that’s how I met your mother.
Hey now. Solarwinds is marketed as a monitoring app. The security backdoor thing was entirely unintentional.
(But, c’mon: if you’re giving admin privs to an app that calls home, and you can’t see the source, and you can’t validate the app on the other end, you’re basically asking for pwnage)
Get your living will done, my dude. If you don’t make your wishes known, you’ll traumatize some EMS who has to perform a very crunchy CPR on you. My dad, a former EMS, has a “no aerobics” DNR set up so he won’t be someone else’s trauma.
Trump said he planned to organize a trilateral meeting with the Ukrainian president and Putin soon after the Alaska meeting. The U.S. president said there were “three ideas” for locations — and “by far the easiest” would be staying in Alaska.
Well, by far the easiest way to draw Pz Zelensky out by making him fly the length of Russia and land in a tactically terrible location with lots of Russian soldiers around. His 737 will be shot down the moment he gets close to Russian airspace.
Switzerland is a better idea.
No, there’s not often a choice.
But I include and discuss a 4% penalty when making wage calculations in an interview.
Even though Office, OneDrive, Teams, Ansible, Jira and Confluence are different toxic apps/websites, it’s still the same “shit tool stack” penalty, one hit.
Some people are idiots and climate change is real, therefore you should lose access to nature is basically her argument.
That’s a very constructed take.
Idiots caused wildfires. They said “don’t be idiots in the woods, idiots” and the idiots went back in to be idiots. Now no one gets to use the woods because they don’t know who the idiots are and it’s not safe.
I wish I could say the West is different; we just have more woods.
The term for that is actually ‘slopping’. Kthx ;-)
