My company initiated a hiring freeze last November, just after my group lost 3 team members. Then in February they did layoffs, my group was not effected. The hiring freeze is now lifted, but what we were never told is that when they did the layoffs, they also “erased” any positions that were open prior to the layoffs, including the positions that were open in my group before the hiring freeze the previous November. So those jobs are just gone, and the slack that my group has picked up? That’s just the new normal now. It’s bullshit.

Sees it’s a shitpost.

Makes old man grumbly noises….

You’re a champ. As someone who’s broken plenty of laws and gotten away with it with no consequences, all minor things albeit, following the law is generally a good thing to do. Someone else here mentioned not being so rigid about it, I also agree with that. But in general, it’s a good thing to be a textbook good citizen.

I only notice how bulky and heavy the deck is when I use my switch. But I love the deck and don’t mind the heft considering what it’s capable of.

Will you at least take the donkey on your trip to rescue Fiona? In my experience, donkeys make great traveling companions, and can be quite humorous!

It isn’t even something any government should be allowed to enforce in my opinion.

It is quite common in my experience to use “getting a check” as a figure of speech. Similarly I’ll say “I get my check every Wednesday” but I have direct deposit. And I’m not even old lol

Glitch looks like they’re stalking!

This is amazing

The US Federal code of regulations. Im a US customs broker. At 50 titles and sometimes 100s of pages per title if not thousands, it’d be quite the read in one go!

Edit: I just checked, it changes pretty regularly, usually stands somewhere around 90 thousand pages. The specific code on customs brokers is title 19 part 111. But really the whole thing is specific to my job in one way or another. I’ve never actually read the entire thing personally as it’s practically impossible. I look up whatever I need to as needed.

We must endure so that future generations may benefit!

It’s also over 7500 AU (or, over 697,500,000,000 miles) away from its host star. Meaning it’s over 7500x further from its star than we are from ours. I suppose it makes sense that it’d take that long to complete an orbit!
