Learning to not rely on inbox categories does make it easier for me to finally leave Gmail for a real email provider though, so maybe this will all work out in the end.

1) Young developers are pitted against older developers in an effort to drive down the salaries of everyone in the industry.

2) You can be fired at any time for any reason.

3) The whims of management (i.e., workplace politics) are the primary force behind whether or not you are promoted, whether or not you are disciplined, your work assignments, and your career progression.

4) Your working conditions (see "remote work) can be changed at a moment's notice in an effort to make you quit your job, accept a lower salary, or as a backdoor justification to otherwise discriminate against you.

5) Layoffs can happen at any time for any reason (or a reason that's completely made up by your CEO -- see "AI" for the current made up reason of the year), and you have no recourse. You have no right to transfer to another position in your company, return to your job after the economic conditions improve, and often have to sign NDAs or agree to ridiculous conditions to collect your severance (if one is even offered)

6) Threats to outsource your job to a foreign company/"AI" are constantly in the air in an effort to make you feel like you deserve less, work more hours, and constantly audition for your job day in and day out.

You're not exempt from any of this if you're a highly-paid IC who is reading this, by the way. In fact, you should know that they really resent having to pay you your big salary (that's their money), which is why you're always going to have a target on your back. You don't think the managers who currently make less than you get paid aren't resentfully eyeing your line on their spreadsheet?

The way to stop all of this is to unionize. Don't you think it's about time?

Did he use an LLM to write the blog post too?

Sounds great!

Absolutely revolting that any retailer would even consider doing something like this.

Who is asking for this? Why can't they just make their search engine work again?

These laws are nearly worthless when they cannot be enforced by regular people. Laws such as these will be used as weapons by partisan attorneys general who will wield them to settle scores with companies that they don't like. When an organization that they do like violates a state privacy law, no action will be taken against them.

If they actually cared about data privacy, they would have written the law to be more like the TCPA, which can be enforced by anyone.

> “United States corporate law does not, and never has, required directors of public corporations to maximize either share price or shareholder wealth… State statutes similarly refuse to mandate shareholder primacy… As long as boards do not use their power to enrich themselves, the [business judgment rule] gives them a wide range of discretion to run public corporations with other goals in mind, including growing the firm, creating quality products, protecting employees, and serving the public interest. Chasing shareholder value is a managerial choice, not a legal requirement.”

Such firings will be because management chose to make them, not because they were forced to by the threat of lawsuits by a non-existent legal doctrine.

I don't think this is desirable from a public health aspect - smokers need more preventative care, not less.

I know that we already do this with the ACA in America, and this is the exact result I've found amongst old colleagues and friends who smoked regularly. They were terrified of their doctors finding out that they smoked (for fear that they'd be permanently priced out of private health insurance for the rest of their lives), so they weren't able to ask for prescription drugs that could have helped them quit.
