I just noticed that I like posts with “X ordered to do…” sooo much better than posts with “Elon says…”

I prefer the latter, because it’s so much easier to filter out posts about Elon than it is to filter out posts about X (without creating a ton of false positives).

exactly this. i have a filter on certain keywords. his name is in there but there’s nothing I can do to avoid posts about the platform.

it’s super irritating.

Honestly, between these obsession posts and all the other non-tech news that gets posted here, I just unsubscribed this morning. The signal to noise ratio in this community is just not worth it to me.

Does your filter recognize whitespace? Including a space before and/or after X should catch the posts about the platform while not filtering out posts that just have an X inside a word somewhere. X isn’t going to be a single letter surrounded by space unless it’s referring to the platform.

Surprise, Space Karen, places other than the US have actual employee protection laws.

I’m always baffled how US slavers fall for that trap again and again.

The US doesn’t fall for anything; the pols are paid to not work for the people. It’s greed, not idiocy.

How is it not idiocy to get burned by european labour laws time and time again? Greed makes stupid.

Since he’s the sole owner it’s pretty much the same, it’s profits (hahahaha) that’s not going in his pockets.

This employee in question was an executive

Of course. Not like they’d order the same for the custodian or whatever. But because they are of high status they get protected.

Yeah it’s worth noting that the employee in this case had the resources to fight. Hopefully other regular non-executive employees can use it as precedent for their own lawsuits.

Not sure how different it is in Ireland, but here in Australia you’d have spoken to the fair work ombudsman and they’d go and “fight” this for you.

Seeing as the article says “Ireland’s Workplace Relations Commission” handled this, kinda sounds like a similar situation rather than wealth having anything to do with it.

In America the various states have labor boards, but almost no one knows this and gets taken advantage of.

Last thing an employer wants is a call from the labor board. They default to the employee is always right, burden in on the employer to prove otherwise.

Otherwise he would have gotten 1 figure less, and then we would never have heard about him.

If coos don’t want to their they shouldn’t get paid.

I think this should be “If COOs don’t want to work there, they shouldn’t get paid”.

Or are getting somewhere else

No idea on this bit. Maybe “or should get a job somewhere else”?

It’s very simple. If person fails to do their job you fire them. People supporting there must be a meaning behind
