A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I worked at a fully remote international tech company that did a yearly in-person meetup somewhere different each year. The year this happened it was Monaco. Flew into Nice, France, then got a taxi ride from there.
Checked into hotel the night before, all fine (tho Monaco was just absolutely sickening with the gluttonous wealth on display everywhere).
Next morning I'm off to the convention center to register and get my badge. Almost get hit by a car not paying attention to my crosswalk.
Get inside, go to kiosk, and look through the terms and conditions. One of which is a liability waiver. For an internal company event. I decline to sign it and escalate my refusal.
Two or three hours later my manager, my assigned HR rep, and someone from the legal team meet in my hotel's lobby to figure this out. They absolutely would not budge on requiring me to waive company liability for my health and safety while I'm on a work trip.
So I told them I'm not attending and that they need to fly me back home ASAP. Next morning I'm on my flight home while the rest of the company does their bullshit.
I think there were 700ish employees there and I'm the only one who refused to sign the liability waiver.
Thankfully I never got any grief about any of this, but they did PIP me a few years later and I'm sure someone higher up had it out for me with this incident being a motivating factor
