Imagine getting HL3 before GTA6. The meme potential would be out of this world

Before anyone becomes too happy: the post’s title is inaccurate, the two people sent to jail are only middle managers:

They are, the post title is false. The people going to jail are middle managers

Seems like it also doesn’t happen in Germany, as the post title doesn’t match the article.

The two people sent to jail are middle managers (Head of XY), not executives.

Neolib capitalism speedrun

I mean who doesn’t like opping their york in the shower after a long day

Holy shit, this is insane. No sane person would put up with this

That’s why I was specifically talking about image

It’s incredible how Putin was able to turn Russia’s image from “occasionally drunk, but beloved funny uncle” to “scumbag murderer rapist” in a bit more than a decade.

It has always been a sketchy place, but they at least kept an okay image up, and a lot of people in the cities enjoyed a significant quality of life increase since the 2000s. I have some Russian colleagues who fled before/after the war, and I see their sorrow as they see the horror Russia is doing to Ukraine and its own citizens. You cannot choose where you are born, and they are sad to see the decline of the country they grew up in.

Because rich people, corporation and the state can kill as they like.

It’s only a crime for use plebs.

It’s an interesting debate, if what we are seeing now is the natural, inevitable progress of capitalism, or it could have gone a better way, but eg. Reagan fucked it up for all of us in the 70s.

I heard about that, some call it the “wasted decade” at MS. Top engineers refused to work together due to the stack ranking, not wanting draw the short end of the stick in the evaluations, when compared to each other.

A company I worked at 10 years ago also dabbled with it a bit, luckily not seriously. It was a consultancy firm who hired top graduates from prestige universities, so it made even less sense. Dude, nobody is average or below here, you hire the best people after grilling them in interviews and a whole day assessment center. The bell curve just doesn’t make sense

Or become a dead weight, when the manufacturer stops supporting it

I never stayed in an Airbnb, always found easier and/or better options at hotels, or an apartment at booking.com. People act like Airbnb came up with the concept of renting apartments, while websites like this have been doing this for a decade by the time it came around.
