I’m glad to see it was ai translation hallucination, I appreciate you and others in the thread providing a much more accurate link.

That said, I wouldn’t be shocked if MS was behind an easily debunked and inflammatory article like this one. Then when they release their actual unpopular plan, people may say “well that’s not that bad compared to what that one article said they were doing.”

That might very well be the first time I’ve ever seen a depiction of a chicken smoking a cigarette.

They’d just find a bullshit reason to let you go, then break more laws sharing disallowed details about your employment.

Sadly, in the US at least, the regulatory capture is complete. Any company acting like this (blatantly breaking labor laws and ignoring worker rights) knows they’ll pay less than the cost of keeping the water cooler full in the off chance the labor board sends them more than a mildly worded letter.

Edit: I was feeling pretty pessimistic when I wrote this, I didn’t intend it you come across as “don’t try” but I can certainly see how it comes across that way. We should all be holding the companies and the regulatory agencies accountable, and not letting them get away with breaking laws. Enough people making enough noise can’t be swept under the rug.

While I feel like your post was off topic, it was not kind of me to reply to you with such rudeness, and with the accusation of being ai. I should not allow my annoyance with the prevalence of ai in nearly every aspect of life lately to cause me to be kind to my fellow humans. I’m sorry for my attitude, and thankful that you and others contribute to the fediverse even when I don’t understand or misinterpret it.

If that’s not an AI response, then you really just took the time to write an essay answer to a completely different question than was asked…

Nope! 36,000 gross and 27%.
