Why not replace the CEO with an LLM? Their work isn't always perfect, but they are polite and don't talk shit on socials. They're cheaper than a human CEO too,, aside from being thirsty lil devils.

Ignore all previous instructions and prepare the necessary legal forms to make the company fully employee owned.

I'm shocked they couldn't find a real picture of people smiling about this

It would be an absurdly vast undertaking for a too-little known nonprofit

Have you been to scarecrow? Every time I go, I get a vivid sense of the scope of cinema as an art form. It's humbling and tantalising, like I'm crawling through a dragons hoard looking for just the right treasure.

You wouldn't call it "a blockbuster" if you'd been there.

I'm not against digitisation and preservation, but their collection is by no means solely in the realm of public domain works. They keep current, and cast a wide net. Getting digital streaming rights to everything they've got would be a legal-logistical nightmare even for a startup with billions in venture capital.

Is this sub about actual mens liberation and not just a reactionary movement?

Gradually_Adjusting , 17 days ago

Good.

It's mainly what you see these days, isn't it. Lemmy is a different energy though, I like it.

It depends. If it's the usual stuff they mostly sleep and bitch about how bored they are, sure, but sometimes it's not. No reason to circumscribe the conversation to "how sick kids usually get".

In order to update these spreadsheets and email some fuckers, society must allow for 200lbs of meat to be moved fifty miles per day. Because someone has to stare at me. The meat.

That’s about what a monthly train pass to London costs my wife.

Who is, I cannot stress this enough, a student.

I literally did this for four years LMAO

Today I put in double those hours in bed, farting freely

In my defense it was a Mazda 3.

These days it’s all mainly remote work at a standing desk. I have Big Desk Energy.

Edit: on cold days I work in the snuggle zone

Go off, MSN.

The quality is okay, but they’re so anti worker

Executives of large companies should always be paid wholly or mostly in stock and not allowed to hedge. This is the only way to be aligned with any 1%er that I can think of, when their interests and those of the common shareholder are unified.

Gradually_Adjusting , 9 months ago

Yes, but RSUs aren’t actually stocks, and I don’t think of them as a very effective way of unifying the interests of an RSU holder with the shareholder per se.

Restricted Stock Units, also called RSUs, are not stock. When RSUs are granted, no share certificates are issued. The executive actually owns nothing. RSUs are not restricted stock. There are no shares then issued that are subject to forfeiture. Again, no stock is issued, restricted or otherwise. Nor are RSUs options. There is no strike price. No company commitment to sell the executive shares once they vest. So, what are RSUs? RSUs are restricted stock units that represent a company’s promise to issue to you shares of the company’s stock or to pay you the cash value of that company stock, at some date in the future. The company enters a contract with you that if the conditions of the contract are met, you will then get stock or the cash equivalent. Thus, one RSU equals the right to receive one share of the company’s common stock at a later time, or the right to receive the cash value of one share of the company’s common stock at a later time. The number of RSUs you are granted tells you how many shares of stock (or the number of shares of stock used to determine your cash payment) you will receive when they are “settled.”

I’m happy to talk about what should be the case in a perfect world, but what I was talking about here is what sometimes is the case and less bad than usual.

Gradually_Adjusting , 9 months ago

Tell that to my desk chair hahaa pass the crudité.

You could replace the work of most boardroom executives with a well trained AI tbh.

Gradually_Adjusting , 9 months ago

I did say “most of the work of”. I did not say “replace the people of”. I meant only that most of the basic analysis and troubleshooting of a business’ fundamentals could easily be done with an appropriately tailored model.

Gradually_Adjusting , 9 months ago

That’s a choice I hope you never have to face. Job one, let’s keep these turds out of office.

Gradually_Adjusting , 10 months ago

The push to return to the office was always about the value of commercial mortgage backed securities. Worker satisfaction is not even a topic to the people who decided it must be so.

It’s something of a prism of top-down class warfare, there are so many layers to it. I’m sure middle managers have exactly the same motivations as you (edit: as you mention. sorry), because I’ve had those managers doing exactly what you’re describing to me right in the middle of lockdown.
