6·7 months agoUm actually, in the US
ACKTUALLY, whether or not you can get fired is a state issue, and some states such as California provide statutory protection for employees who use cannabis. It’s true that there are some states where you can get in trouble, but the federal laws are not being enforced by the Biden administration, who has given the green light on cannabis consumption and rescheduling, so there’s really no single answer that applies to the whole United States, and your mileage may vary.
“Gross profit” is a meaningless number in this context. Their net income was $15.5B. If you do the same math to try to determine profit per location, ($15.5B/10500) it’s about $1.48M. Not bad, but still about 90% lower than your estimate.
Since I was already estimating seemingly random profit ratios, I also looked at their profit per employee, which came out to $7380/person ($15.5B/2.1M employees).
Unfortunately these numbers are also inclusive of, for example, Walmart’s e-commerce program, so calculating the profit per location doesn’t indicate anything meaningful to me, though I’m morbidly curious about what insights you are hoping to get from it?
I didn’t realize DEFCON was this weekend already, but this is a solid point 😂
Agree with your entire sentiment but wanted to note that Khashoggi was tortured and executed by Saudi Arabia, not the UAE. Same area geographically and relatively similar politics and human rights record, but UAE is not run by MBS.
Totally agree about the slavery and women’s rights etc tho.
They were never really hiding it, we just all assumed they were insane fringe ideas and nothing would come of it. Things have changed…
I have one of these, and while the switch tech is certainly neat, I haven’t really come up with many good ways to use it.
Their implementation doesn’t seem to support changing resistance or being sensitive to multiple levels of pressure on the key, but one way I do use it is by changing the activation distance for certain keys that I tend to press by mistake when gaming, like caps lock, so that you really need to bottom out the key to activate it. This seems to help a bit but I suspect that if I wanted to get the most out of it, I would probably need to be a much more intense gamer.
For MANY Americans, the US is their whole world. 🤷♂️
Sorry bud, you’re in the wrong community if you’re looking for allies when you bring logic based on reality into the conversation.
You’re probably in the minority, but probably not the only one.
WhatsApp is also owned by meta, so out of the 7 options, 3 of them are owned by the same company and yet continue to lack support for interoperability.
Couldn’t agree more. IMO, the perfect talent is the kind you grow yourself.
No number of interviews or tests will lead you to a magical perfect candidate 100% of the time, but those with less experience are great because they’re eager to accept a lower salary and will attack just about any problem you throw at them enthusiastically because every challenge is a new chance to prove their mettle.
Obviously it takes time to build a program where mentorship is valued and more senior folks help to develop newer teammates, but if you want the highest quality talent, it’s hard to beat homegrown.
Likewise - I’m consistently rated a high performer, but my lack of awareness around compensation consistently has me questioning whether it’s worth my time to put those extra hours in - most of the time I decide it isn’t.
We recently had a situation where my employer changed compensation criteria mid-cycle and the reaction from my coworkers is summed up by 🤷♂️
To paraphrase the corporate God himself:
When you’re a Fortune 500 company, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab 'em by the pussy.
I’ve always assumed you’d melt the gold down and create coins or other tradable sub-amounts of the gold that you could exchange for goods and services. If people are still peopling, they’ll still want a currency to transact with; if the dollar has failed then gold has a historical precedent that would probably make it easier to convince people to trade with you using it as a medium of exchange. It always seems like it’s more suited to be an emergency measure than a plan A to me.
Okay I see where you’re coming from with that. Unfortunately it seems those commenters are everywhere!
What’s so fundamentally different about Lemmy that made you think that the people would act differently than normal?
Bow down before my great powers to link to a change log, you imbecile. Now that this error has been revealed to you, certainly you will be less of a useless piece of shit. Enjoy your newfound knowledge and prosper!
