Its interesting to hear this at least with the context of video game development because if there was any kind of job in an office setting that would require people being there in person it'd be game dev surely? Its far harder to manage large teams remotely and specialist software is regularly used so its the kind of thing you'd want to in person to do.
At $18 a shirt its surely going to be from the lowest quality sweatshop money can afford.
It's the NHS, dude is happy taking off it despite his taxes not going into it. If he truly cared about it he would have been paying UK taxes while he was in America
Eh, at least in gaming industry I know of a few places which scrapped some unneeded offices over the course of Covid if the lease came up and are sticking to working from home forever for many positions other than weekly in person meetings for certain discussions. Why? Because it drops costs, and therefore was more profitable. The people who have to go to the office are now people who are high enough where they got their own offices anyways, those who they want to keep an eye on their hours worked, and the tech monkeys. Getting rid of the cubicals and requiring the rank and file have home offices, when potentially not having homes large enough to do so while having kids, was just more profitable.
I have no doubt the choice to bring employees back or keep them at home is money-related, because everything in business is money-related, because that's why businesses exist.
While I get your sentiment, this is actually the case for certain industries, including my own. Billable hours include the time spent at the airport, riding the plane, and travel to/from the airport to living accommodations. This is done to make travel more attractive to the employees assigned to do it, since business travel is a hassle for normies. Plumbers don't directly charge customers for time spent in traffic but that expense is passed indirectly to the customers since plumbers and other tradesmen are still on the clock while waiting in traffic.
He makes 6 figures per year, why is he even worried about medical bills? Is he too fat to get insurance in the US?
Sterling believes that there's going to be violence because of "Groomer" rhetoric.
Jim, you're British and you're back in the UK - it's FUCKING "ARSE" not ass!
Mental illness and being overweight count as pre-existing conditions that would have him denied.
And to think people were complaining about Jim being late when he was covering yesterweek's news... Now he's two years late.
I can't believe J.K. Rowling and the TERFs did this to try and silence her journalism.
I like how these insecure non-people's facade of caring about the working class always fades as soon as it conflicts with their primary motive of undermining anyone with a spine who reminds them of the fact they don't have one (ok, Jim isn't physically spineless yet, but he's on his way).
That implies they're not doing it already lol. Outsourcing (or "insourcing" with h1bs) is killing tech jobs, even in game development.
That's pretty interesting, I'd heard of company cars before and I know employers will often comp travel/accommodation if they're sending you to a conference or something, but Jim's suggestion everyone should get paid for the daily commute into the office is retarded, and would be a logistical nightmare because not everyone travels the same distance so you're gonna end up with some employees getting paid way more just because they live further away, rather than everyone being paid the same for the set hours they're actually at work doing their job.
AFAIK some countries do require or encourage businesses to give their employees a fuel/public transportation allowance.
