Dell said return to the office or else—nearly half of workers chose “or else” - Workers stayed remote even when told they could no longer be promoted. ( arstechnica.com )

Big tech companies are still trying to rally workers back into physical offices, and many workers are still not having it. Based on a recent report, computer-maker Dell has stumbled even more than most....

So the workers opted to continue remote work at the convenience of not getting promoted, and I bet my top dollar they lost any motivation they had and are all now looking for new gigs 😂

cyberpunk007 ,

Not necessarily a bad thing. End of last year I moved to a smaller company with better benefits and 30% increase on my salary.

cyberpunk007 ,

It's true, whenever I'm done with my salary I go for a new gig. Huge percentage of increase every time instead of this corp-speak "1-3%" bullshit. With job change I typically see around 30%

Last year the org I worked for was acquired, this year the new org I work for acquired another. So far my experience is the acquired company gets shit on lol.

I love how for businesses this is rocket science but the rest of us have known what it would take for decades.

I don't understand this statement. What is meant by "state"?

cyberpunk007 ,

This is called narcissism

cyberpunk007 ,

Well that is their motto after all. "be evil".

Ye ol "free" hyper-v as well. Would probably be the next one I consider in a corporate environment after VMware just blew it's brains out. Containers are great, I run kubernetes at one on truenas scale but obviously it's Linux containers which may have some implications if the idea is to move everything off VMware to containers. Like if there are windows vms.

I'm not sure what you're talking about. That's how hyperv has always been deployed. Install Microsoft server, install hyperv role. It's a hypervisor. Does all the fancy things like clustering as well, through the fail over cluster manager where you can view all your hosts, move vms from host to host, configure your witnesses etc. It absolutely is a competitor in the esxi space, never had quite all the bells and whistles but it was good enough for most applications.

cyberpunk007 ,

Ok I'm not sure what your point is then. VMware clustering isn't free either.

cyberpunk007 ,

Correct, it's not really accurate to compare kubernetes to lxc. It's a container orchestration tool.

Haven’t been to my new jobs office yet lol. At my last one I went a handful of times and I did enjoy it. But it’s definitely not something I could do even a day a week. Long costly drive. Plus my home office is so stacked now it sucks to leave it.

What’s crazy is I pay around 45% income tax. And these people have their billions. How about anyone making less than 500k a year doesn’t get taxed, and those fuckers pay.

Terrible title

Same, now I just get occasional ads on Spotify “premium”…

All thanks to end game capitalism where the wage gaps between the top and bottom are incredibly vast.

cyberpunk007 ,

Ya but what’s the alternative? You only have a few large players in any space Google operates in and guaranteed they’re no better in terms of wages and worker rights.

cyberpunk007 ,

So you’re preaching to the choir here. I daily drive Linux, Firefox, libreoffice, and keepass already.

With the line of work I’m in I don’t think I could steer from iPhone or android. It would be too much of a pain in the ass. Are duo and LastPass even available without either? They’re sure not on f-droid. And that’s just one example.
