news
Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also xcancle.org (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

It doesn't make me thrive, I hated it. The office was about all the social interaction I ever got and my alcoholism got a million times worse when it got taken away for WFM. I'm not saying we should make policy based on my neuroses but until a company pays my rent because they're using my apartment as an office I will never consider doing it.
Meanwhile I will never consider going into the office unless the alternative is starving to death because it's much harder to be sexually harassed in a remote job.
I mean the pro-remote work stance is completely valid especially that one. This is just a me hangup which wouldn't be an issue if I had actual friends. Just mad I got fired over alcoholism made worse by the company forcing me remote for Covid.
Couldn't hurt to have some friends. True.
And for the record the forced remote work was the correct covid policy. I just caught a stray.
Same, we didn’t have a choice, I just coped with it really poorly
Same here and it got me fired from my six figure tech job
I didn’t get fired (stopped a few months ago), but I definitely would have. I just got caught by the right person instead of the wrong one
I got caught by a careerist middle manager instead of the fellow recovering manager I had for most of my time at the company
Brutal, I’m sorry comrade. I had so many near misses at work that I feel like I should have faced worse. I hope you’re doing better now, even if it’s only a little better
hope you do better with the alcoholism, I need to quit drinking too
I am doing better with it at this exact moment by having a beer tbh.
I'm drinking but I'm telling myself it's a treat because I also exercised today
I'm doing that because i cleaned the stovetop and one dish today.
I hate office socializing because saying the wrong thing to the wrong person could get me fired. It's a minefield lmao
My coworkers were mostly all on H1Bs soooo
