Ramos no es nada tonto, lo cual hace que su tesis al respecto de las jornadas 4x3 sea todavía más despreciable y mezquina. De lejos se ve que esa hablada de que los trabajadores vamos a decidir nuestra jornada no se le cree ni solo.

I will say, we need to get ready to organize for pushback on this.
EO aren’t that binding, so legislation would need to pass for it to work.
If you aren’t already, get comfortable connecting with your representatives, because if Big Tech gains traction on this we need to move en masse to stop it.

Google joins the call to gut our legal protections, pushing for a world where Big Tech gets to profit from all your innovations & works for free, and that theft is ok’d by law.
No joke IF they get this, the US will likely face irreparable harm as pivotal creative economies crash.

Sobre la joven de 16 que apareció en Parrita, leí a varias personas opinar: “por dicha solo se fue con el novio”. Cómo vas a decirle “novio” al mae de 29 años pendiente de juicio por violación a una niña de 12 años y que engatuso a la de 16 para que se fuera con él, es un depredador no un “novio”!

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start

More accurate, fewer words;
"There are plenty of contractors going under".
A friend furloughed 75% of staff (furlough w/paying for health insurance for three months), 50% exec pay cut, 25% rest of staff to keep as many people w/salary.
PS: Wasn't 18F a government office, not a contractor.

Sergey saying it requires overtime, for an unspecified duration, to achieve an undefined goal, is like saying “a perfect meal is achievable if everyone will just work over a stove set to 800 degrees”. Really? Is that so? It’s too obviously just demanding stolen labor and immiseration.
