I have just experienced this.They raised HR exec up to VP level so they could investigate another VP to ultimately fire them.

Then once the BAD VP was fired the owner fired the HR VP and the the replacement was not a VP.

Not really. Most all companies have Binding Arbitration built into employment contracts.

What lawyer wants to have their pay limited thusly?

You can hire your own lawyer for the proceedings but no jackpot payouts in arbitration.

Arbitration agreements have largely backed off in the last couple of years, because the main benefit (avoiding class action lawsuits) has been eroded. Activists discovered that you can cause serious economic damage to company simply by mass-filing arbitration claims, and some case law poked holes in just how "binding" the agreements were (and if someone can appeal their arbitration case, it defeats the whole point).

This shift happened 2022 ish.

Almost every tech company still uses them.

Would have. Could Have. Should have.

Most humans would be halfway into other lane after seeing kids near the street.

Apologist see something different than me.

Perception.

Unchecked capitalism?

The new NY city mayor wants to convert parks into low income housing.

Rack mounts of cellular gear in an apartment. Dummy rentals. I don't understand the optimism.

How did this not throw flags with the carriers.

I did not like when NAS4FREE had to change their name because of something....

The new name XigmaNAS did not inspire me to continue.

Then FREENAS changes name to TrueNAS.

Boy what a twisted wreck.

In the meanwhile I learn NFS and ditch the GUI prima-donnas.

I really dropped NAS/SENSE when the GUI switched from lightttpd to Bootcamp...

NANOBSD was dropped around the same era... What a shame.

It was a good run, Back when you could upgrade without worry.

I don't watch YouTube but here a mariners take.

I notice that there is a very large Car Carrier in Norfolk Drydock getting painted white to grey.

Looks like they are converting commercial vessels to military use.

I can't imagine how they handle in big winds. A giant sail like surface.

Flickertail State Crane Ship was recently out doing testing. It is old but capable.

Gaza Pier help was a bust. Those piers are not meant to be installed long term. We looked like clowns. Not Omaha Beach.

During the Falklands War, the Royal Navy requisitioned a lot of civilian ships at short notice, the Atlantic Conveyor being the most famous after it was sunk.

The US Navy would likely do the same, the biggest issue could be retaining enough crew.

It doesn't help that when the U.S. Merchant Marine was made a part of the U.S. Navy during World War 2, the U.S.M.M. mariners were entitled to Vetern Status and benefits, but the U.S. Navy denied them that. Some mariners were able to get it, but they had to fight for it.

The U.S.M.M. had the highest casualty rate out of all of the services during World War 2: 4% - double that of the next highest - the U.S. Marines with 2%.

The Gaza Pier failed because it was a PR stunt and not a serious attempt to get aid into Gaza.

In reality what the article says is they needed adult-sitters.

Family at first but USE PROFESSIONALS. Due to scummy ins company wanting docs.

How is that health care? Babysitting is now health care???

We need a better way to deal with dementia. Not health care.

A literal babysitter to make sure they eat and don't run into the street.

I don't see dementia as sickness. Brain illness maybe.

So we have to warehouse these feeble folk. That is the problem.

We need a more humane way rather than Doctor K's method..

What about the poor old guys girlfriend?
