The COVID denial was strong in so many people. I remember some stories where people would go to the hospital with extremely low oxygen saturation, be told that they have COVID, and for them to go into a blind panic about getting microchipped or tortured by experimental government treatment, and immediately discharge themselves - only to drop dead pretty much immediately after they left.

You can be as obtuse as you want. You know I'm right, and it's exactly why legislation is needed to ensure these things are done correctly to stop businesses from exploiting the rules.
It's a simple solution to what's a more nuanced problem.
Be honest. If faced with the choice to cut hours/roles, move roles overseas, or to "pay more", do you think many business owners will do the latter?
You need to consider the nuance here, otherwise you find a similar situation to the minimum wage rises, where businesses complain about the operations not being viable because they need to start treating workers like humans.
Might be another Americanism. It's been close to two decades since I worked retail, but I got paid more on weekends than weekdays.
Bezos hasn't been the CEO at Amazon for over three years.
IMO more people should be critical of the systems and tools that they use instead of shitting on the tools that others choose to use.
We do assume too much of our tools, but many people here are guilty of assuming that other OS's are broken in ways that do not reflect the average customer experience.
While true, there are some complications to this:
- Unsociable hours usually require more pay
- If you're already working 40 hours a week, focusing on stuff out of hours is going to be hard. I know this all too well!
IMO, this is EXACTLY where outsourcing should be used. Either move someone from the US (or your home country) to where you need support, ensure you have a good triage system for issues that might come up, etc.
Genuinely interested in how that is practical in an office setting. We barely have room to keep leftovers, let alone decent bread and cheese. It's also a bit boring if you're having it most days.
Meal deals are rarely ever decent. They're enough to get you through the working day if you sit at a desk all day.
Can you give an example of a "proper one" that isn't cooked?
Japan are not world-class. They're a solid team, but despite being ranked in the top 20 they're probably still considered weaker than many of the teams below them.
With that said, I always have a soft spot for countries that push players that play domestic football outside of Europe and in their own country. I've been on a Japan kick since Yu Hirakawa joined Bristol City on loan.
