My boss had the worst employee satisfaction result ever seen in our group for his department. No surprise, he had oversold himself to get the job and when his idiotic project of redoing everything from the ground up started to be way delayed compared to the unrealistic promises he had made to the board, he asked everyone to go into "crunch mode" for "a short time", work late, Saturdays, and so on. A "short time" became months...

Anyhoo, he asked us, what we could do about his shitty results because the board actually got worried. I reminded him, the work life balance sucked, people were overworked and they didn't see any end to "the crunch" and it had to stop before any other action.

He dismissed my idea and he settled on a team lunch. But since he didn't want to waste work time for "the crunch", he decided to have it on a Sunday and fuck up the only off day for most of the people.

I've never seen a floor of people so angry than the day they got the email about that team lunch.

I told him, he dismissed it again.

That's about when I went into quiet quitting and patiently waited to be fired while pretending to be out on meeting and actually going for walks in the park.

It will be called switch U but the controller will be a tandem unicycle.

I feel this. I just saw a second hand pool table at a charity store last week and my wife said no :D

Looks like a closet tbh.

What we do have at a walking/biking distance is a bakery, a pharmacy, a coffee shop, an antique store, two art galleries.

Anything else such as food, school, work, train station, doctor, veterinary, you name it, is 15k away.

Those stats are a bit misleading. For example, I live in a "urban" environnement, aka a town, but the closest anything is still 15km away.

It's hard to tell, because it's hard to imagine that anyone would desire to be in the situation of the people in the second picture. Unless you take it specifically to rub yourself against other people obviously.

Motivation: I (sometime) try/need/want to write in-depth answers, which (often) require to quote multiple part of an article or multiple messages.

Relay for Reddit (and maybe others) had a feature which remembered what you already typed in a reply (draft) which allowed the user to enter reply mode, start typing an answer, exit reply mode, lookup some more information, copy some material, reopen reply mode and continue where he left off without losing the previous input.

Alternative: using another app to type message until it's ready.

Those thing saved my life (nearly). I had a terrible period of insomnia which started to really impact my ability to operate during the day and after trying pretty much everything I spent the 60 bucks or whatever those thing cost and started listening to audiobook when going to sleep and it cured me.

My first version was wired but seeing how much I used them, I ended up buying a Bluetooth one because waking up with my face tangled in the wire wasn't that great.

I love those things. I'm honestly scared the company would go out of business.

Motivation : I like to browse communities one by one and it's not possible to access the menu from within a community or a discussion thread.

Worked for me for a couple of hours. Then the issue came back.

My oven sounds exactly like my fire alarm, it's distressing, the first time I used it I ended up running to the kitchen thinking I was going to find the place burning.

At least my washing machine plays a cute little tune.
