No one deserves that much money and I’m not arguing in favor of what they did. I’m just pointing out that getting rid of that many people is way, way, more than $30,000,000 on a payroll.

I assume most of the layoffs were in support roles and not the main coders or hardware engineers. I assume it was a lot of secretaries and intern level stuff and phone rep and sales people supplemented by commissions and cleaning crew and maintenance jobs. Probably shut down some service offices too.
Enough for 400 employees.
I’m not saying the US isn’t shit with for profit prisons, but I’m not believing shit for any number that China provides on pretty much anything.
I also want to view more than 20 different posts a day…

151·1 year agoIssue is that most people can’t/don’t know how to set up a vpn and a torrent program that will give more than like a 10Kb upload. So even if they aren’t trying not to seed, they still aren’t by default.

Which is during the winter, and dark at 5pm sucks ass no matter where you are. I’d rather it be dark in the mornings. DST 4 life, dawg.
Turk from Scrubs taught me this.
Fuck that. He only did one type of science.
I nominate Mr.Wizard!
Lol. The most famous straight male porn star to ever live. Ron Jeremy. His dong is legendary.
Fun fact: He was a background extra in the original Ghostbusters movie, but went unnoticed for a couple decades until the wide-screen release came out on DVD. He was cropped out on the vhs/square tv’s of the 80’s and 90’s, so no one knew he was there.
I owned the NES version of Skate or Die when I was a kid. One of the games I stupidly sold after getting a Sega genesis, though.

1·2 years agoStuff got too easy to really have to delve into a deeper understanding, most of the time, now. No jumpers, no dip switches, no pre-loading drivers or plugs that can be plugged into places they shouldn’t get plugged into. Everything is color coded and plug n play. You don’t have to dive in and assign com ports or anything.
I learned as I went because I wanted to get shit to work and that took a lot of educating to get there. Now, most of the time the situation doesn’t come up, so that deeper understanding is a building block that just got skipped over. The offshoot is that when the more rare occasion arises that a deeper understanding is required, it’s usually got a person way behind the 8 ball to be able to recognize and fix the issue.

Lefty Memes@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Landlords do not provide housingEnglish
410·2 years agoHaving no landlords is not a viable option. There are a lot of reasons that people want or need to rent a house for a while. People who know they’re only living in an area temporarily exist in pretty large numbers.
The problem is that there’s too many people who have made it a business that have over 5 houses on companies with hundreds or more doing it. People having one or two rentals isn’t an issue at all in my book. It’s the ones who made it a million dollar business that are the issue.

That very much isn’t the case beyond like a decade+ ago. For the last decade its been not possible, or extra work to install apks on sd card. The choice is there, but it’s far from default.

You don’t know what jobs they cut. It was likely service offices and phone help and secretaries and maintenance people and commissioned sales people and such. They couldn’t have cut 30,000 programmers and hardware engineers.
