News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I mean that's obvious. That's just how company owners are. This company respects me more than any other place I've worked. I got a 12% raise last year and honestly don't think I deserved it. My really good health/dental/eye insurance is paid for by the company, as well as some life insurance and accident insurance. I'm treated exceptionally well, can work from home if I need to, I'm inspired to grow and learn, and I feel genuinely appreciated. I focus on the good things instead of the obvious capitalistic greed because it'd wreck me emotionally if I didn't, ya know? I honestly love my company and I hope it does become toxic as it grows.
You missed my point. The company really can handle people being down a person all the time, there is enough budget for that, they are choosing not to. I don't mean to say you should hate your job, in fact im glad there are lucky few that do. That being said, you continuously list the most basic requirements for living as if they're doing something truly special for you (Insurance), or what is essentially a 5% raise + adjusting for the 7% inflation that happened throughout the year. I'm glad you're in a position to only look at the positive things, but the positives are WfH (again, a basic right), learn and grow, and feel appreciated. And remember, you only need to convince 5 others to unionize for actual PtO.
Ohhh I see. I mean, I never expect basic shit out of employers because work in the US fucking sucks. As for the short staffed budget thing, I don't really know how to respond. You're totally right, and I can only hope for that aspect to change.
