Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

That's true except a lot of managers have zero power over how many people they're allowed to hire. So, again, setting norms isn't something that we can just do. As individuals, we're hobbled by the wealthy/corporations/government (which are all the same thing at this point of we're being real) at just about every turn. If they don't like something they just pay lobbyists and it goes away. To the detriment of the average US citizen yet we still manage to get dunked on constantly as if we're not getting dragged through the wringer. As if we're just ok with everything.
You're taking this too personally. Setting norms isn't something done by a manager and is absolutely just public perception. Happens in middle school constantly. Kids come in with a new, unusual haircut. First kid in earshot brands it as cool or lame. The norm is set.
This isn't much more than saying American PTO policies are shit. That's not an attack on you. It's an attack on people who are okay with the status quo.
