The foot isn’t an SI unit, but the US influence on the internet and social media as a whole means it isn’t some obscure unheard of unit. Besides, the foot has been defined by SI units for a while now, and the survey foot being done away with makes it publically official. It’s just a conversion factor.

Then again being that pedantic is totally a reddit thing, so it’s good to see that hasn’t been lost in the migration.

Really? You’re afraid of a little math to convert when you speak a language that decided 96 (Ninety Six) should be said four-twenty-ten-six?

15m^2 is 5mX3m. Or ~9ft by ~15ft. Parking spots in the US are 8.5ft by 18ft.

So actually smaller than a parking spot.

For reference, a honda civic is 6ft wide by 16ft.

Find me a plant that tastes like a nice hamburger and I’m sold.

audiobookbay is my goto and has most everything I have wanted to look for.

That’s awesome! This makes me want to make a replacement for mine.

No, and despite 4 dozen cases (probably more including GOP cases) launched by Trump where there would be an opportunity to present the evidence they have failed to provide anything.

It turns out when it’s not facebook or fox news and a lawyer realized they could be in deep shit for lying the evidence just evaporates, presumably to the same place as hunter’s laptop.

Since I’m in an at will state that’s always the risk, and HR will always lie to cover the ass of the company given the chance. But they still need people, and distributing that information only erodes their ability to keep people in the dark. They can’t fire everyone that has spoken about wages in my case, we’re simply too shortstaffed, and if I got fired I could be picked up easily by another company.

I know plenty of people aren’t in that kind of favorable situation but it makes it easier to do the right thing. The bonuses I’ve seen our execs get would easily cover raises for the lower staff with room to spare.

The company I work for has a different strategy. They separated when reviews, and therefore raises and bonuses are given from the upper management to the lower level staff. Lower staff go first. When it comes time for lower staff raises and bonuses there’s talk of ‘tightening belts’ and ‘bracing for a recession’ during communication meetings. A few months later when it’s time for upper management it’s ‘Record profits!’.

Of course the lower level staff are given bonuses and raises based on those poor projections, while upper management gets theirs based on record profits.

If you keep your long term lower staff happy with very low raises and bonuses you not only save the money for your upper management in the short term, but also ensure that long term even a return to normal raises saves them money overall.

This is why I remind my coworkers that it is federally protected to share your wage and discuss it. They only get away with this if the long timers don’t speak with the new hires and realize how badly they’re being shafted.
