jasondj , to Work Reform in 'Wildly more expensive': Workers with in-office jobs spend about $31/day that they wouldn't working from home ā€” here's what employers need to do

Youā€™d be surprised. I was busy at work one day and starving. Almost doordashed a burrito and chips from Chipotle till I saw itā€™d be almost $25 before tip.

The joke is that this is the state of American TV and Internet.

Sure some Cable ISPs let you bring your own modem, and Verizon Fios used to let you provision the Ethernet handoff of the ONT to go direct into your own router (if you chat up the install tech and are able to test connectivity with them there)ā€¦but the majority of users rent their modems and cable boxes.

Remember when you had to rent your phone from the phone company?

Imagine if service providers still did that now, and youā€™d have to rent a special box from the internet company to access the internetā€¦or one from the TV company to watch shows and movies. What a world.

jasondj , to Work Reform in there is Indeed a problem

New guy botching a production instance, for a developerā€¦isnā€™t your problem.

Sorry but thatā€™s on them. You shouldnā€™t be able to deploy bad code to prod. Whoever approved the MR fucked up and you caught the blame. Youā€™re better off without them.

For the sake of comparisonā€¦

1940 median US male salary was $956. Women earned about 62Ā¢ on the dollar to men.

Adjusted for inflation, thatā€™s about $21,800.

Median US income (overall) in 2023 is $42,800.

You mean to tell me productivity has gone up 4.8x, and I donā€™t even see 2x the increase in salary.

Put otherwise, if my hours are worth nearly 5x to you, why arenā€™t they even worth 2x to me?

Thatā€™s so easy to answer though. Theyā€™ve been using the explanation for a while.
