Many of these answers are great, thank you for being graet, lemmy is great.

This is a much more legalese take, I feel like some folks would disagree in terms of the spirit of wage theft vs the letter of the concept. I like it though, I appreciate it, I appreciate you.

Interesting, interesting, I appreciate the perspective that wage theft can be committed by employees, although I’d be comfortable committing wage theft against my company, if I was paid hourly, they fucking suck.

Wouldn’t the exemption be considered wage theft though? What makes this scenario more complex?

Based on all the replies it really juist seems like this system is fucking shit at giving people a resource to live their damn lives.

That is wild, so many salary jobs act like you should work more than 40 hours. I even had a manager that said upper level employees should be willing to work more than 40 hours per week. What a cock wart.

I really like your response, you seem like a kind warmhearted person, I wish you the best,

The thing I’m now realizing is that I too have been a victim of wage theft, but didn’t suspect anything under the guise of “the system is good numbers always go up YEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWW”

Cheers to my sinking mental health yet again, I think I’ll name her the titanic fucking capitalist icebergs everywhere.

Whoever explained this to me originally reallllllllly sucked at it

You explain it so simply, and yet I was so confused before hand, thank you so much, why is life so hard?

Follow up question, could the same metrics be captured without a network connection? An alternative might not be as user friendly as an IoT device, but for the last what decade? It seems like investment in IoT is investment in security vulnerabilities.

I’m a software developer and many job postings for my skill sets are getting 500+ applicants, so my strategy was to try to network on the platform. The whole experience was demoralizing, sure other job boards might have the same number of applicants, but I really feel like the easy apply button just creates more competition. My inbox is always open for recruiters though, that is the only positive for me.

LinkedIn is an aggregation of everything wrong with social media. I got laid off and tried to use it to find a job, never again.

I think the replies to this post really captures Lemmy’s energy and I love it.

Sorry that you’re getting down voted for facts

Thank you for dropping some savory knowledge!

This isn’t a good alternative either. From reading the article it looks like this service is meant to screen less serious issues, and if those less serious issues need an in person doctor visit, you’ll need insurance.

The deeper problem is that if our personal data is gold, our medical data is diamonds. It may not be tomorrow, or a decade from now, but I guarantee any sort of contact non-medical corporations make with our medical data will result in a darker dystopia.

Targeted ads will be more invasive. Insurance premiums can be increased for “unhealthy” purchases. Medical coverage can be denied based on economic decisions. The list can go on. We would pretty much get a more perverse profit driven medical system if companies like Amazon start wiggling their way into medicine. Also regulations won’t keep us safe, you can thank lobbying for that.

Oh I know, I was just living in a better world for a second.

I think one huge issue is that edge is fine, it is a browser that works. There is nothing competitively interesting about it to make people consider switching, plus there is the infamy of IE and Micro$oft’s reputation to contend with.

They should just develop a lightweight browser installer and bow out of the browser wars.

HEY THERE YOU ARE AGAIN I LOVE YOU!
