Maybe that's the approach for hiring...remote employees are hired with the understanding that they will earn less than equivalent in-office employees. Commute time, transportation expenses, and any other incidentals make up the difference. It's all made clear and transparent upfront.
If remaining remote limits an employee's promotability for reasons of company need, this is also made clear.
Because remote employees don't spend their own time and money on commuting to work. Those factors, along with saving on childcare, are the main drivers for desire to work remote, yes?
A company can reduce its office footprint to account for fewer in-person employees and save money. But that alone doesn't address the factors above faced by employees who commute, so those workers should be compensated.
I suppose employee value is for any given company to decide. Companies that determine there is value in having employees onsite, and as we know there are plenty of them out there, may place more value on their in-office employees--even if they allow certain positions to be remote.
From what I've seen many remote advocates don't want to discuss the extra benefits they receive from working remotely as compared with their in-office peers, but it's true nonetheless.
I say all this not because I'm anti-WFH, but because I advocate equal compensation for all employees. Folks who expect equal pay while also having zero or reduced commute burden are thinking only of themselves as I see it. Commuting is a pain in the ass, the costs are always rising, and it's been a problem that employers have passed on to workers for entirely too long. So as long as employees find ways like WFH to mitigate the problem, all employees should benefit in some way. Fair is fair for all, not just some.
This is what they do. They get out ahead of bad news for him by announcing it themselves and downplaying the wrongdoing. They seek to control the narrative, normalize what he did, and plant seeds of doubt. When the consequences hit, his supporters will be outraged due to all this brainwashing.
I think they're setting the stage for more Jan. 6 events.
I legitimately find it difficult to long term stay annoyed with people who have wronged me. I have close friends and family telling me how ridiculous it is I’m still in touch and friendly with people I used to consider friends but briefly cut them out after they treated me horribly. I can see the logic and feel as though I...
I think holding a grudge is not good for anyone. However, remembering details about who wrongs you and over what is important--you take measures to avoid letting them take advantage of you again. They have damaged your trust in them.
Your trust level in people should reflect how they've treated you. It should be possible to earn back trust over mistakes when someone truly regrets wrongdoing, but people should understand that this takes time and consistency. Anyone who doesn't understand this is not worthy of your trust.
Apple will soon start cracking down on Apps that collect data on users' devices in order to track them (aka "fingerprinting"), according to an article on its developer site spotted by 9to5Mac.

Now, it's trying to stop fingerprinting (also called canvas fingerprinting), which first appeared in the digital zeitgeist a decade ago.
Can anyone with knowledge on this stuff share whether it's too little, too late for many of us? Since data has been gathered in this way for up to a decade already, will this do any good?
Carlos De Oliveira allegedly helped Walt Nauta move boxes around Mar-a-Lago and allegedly had conversations with others about security camera footage there....
I think the article was updated since this post was made:
Trump already faced 31 counts of illegally retaining national defense information, but prosecutors have added a 32nd to the list. That count centers on a now-infamous conversation Trump allegedly had at his golf club and summer residence in Bedminster, N.J., in July 2021, focused on what has been described by others as a secret military document concerning Iran.
In that conversation, which was recorded, Trump allegedly said: “As president I could have declassified it. ... Now I can’t, you know, but this is still secret.”
You know those sci-fi teleporters like in Star Trek where you disappear from one location then instantaneously reappear in another location? Do you trust that they are safe to use?...
If it existed, was proven safe, and was widely available enough for anyone to use, then of course.
The auto and airline industries would collapse, reducing pollution and global warming.
The biggest downside I can think of offhand is that everyone could vacation wherever they like, and that would quickly overcrowd and ruin all the nice places.
So much so that he'll set aside the ethic and moral standards he and all those "God-fearing, law-abiding, patriotic people in this country" profess to uphold.

In addition to other points, the election machine wants it this way. Advertisers, lawyers, staff, venues, news organizations, and all the other hangers on make good money from the nonsense.
So I agree with you, changes are completely necessary. I just don't see how when the money makers pay off those who could make real changes.
Investigators from the House Ethics Committee have begun reaching out to witnesses as part of a recently revived investigation into Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida, focused on allegations that he may have engaged in sexual misconduct, illicit drug use or other misconduct.
It seems significant that a GOP controlled committee is looking into one of their own. If he's found in violation he should not only be removed from office, but also tried and convicted. Think he'd worry then?
Criticism for being exposed using shithead tactics should be humiliating. But I'm neither a politician nor a conservative, so I guess I'm not supposed to understand.
Experts say US immigration law already bars members of a Communist Party from becoming citizens or green card holders, but they say Trump might run into legal trouble if he tried to implement a blanket exclusion of all communists or Marxists.
To "love our country" =/= loving Trump or Christianity. Simple as that, and the Trumpsters will never understand or support that because they oppose anything out of lockstep with their beliefs. These flag-wavers don't believe in the ideals of the US, and they want to use this as a first step to begin expelling anyone they don't agree with. Yet they think of themselves as patriots.
CNN has exclusively obtained the audio recording of the 2021 meeting in Bedminster, New Jersey, where President Donald Trump discusses holding secret documents he did not declassify.
Agreed. I'm a veteran,I had a lower security clearance, and I can attest that the sheer number of times the government warns about the consequences relating to classified materials is very high. There is no question that a military member handling things as Trump did would be locked away quickly and for the long haul.
Still I hold out hope that 45 will face the consequences he's due without pardon. Otherwise it would be setting a dangerous precedent for national security, and I can't think of anything the government holds more dearly than that. Letting 45 off the hook is effectively saying they value him more than national security, no?
And like the Alabama ruling, it doesn't explain why the court nevertheless had issued emergency relief to allow Louisiana to use its unlawful maps during the 2022 midterm cycle," Vladeck added. "It puts the court's interventions last year into ever-sharper perspective.
This stands out to me as the question begging for an answer. Surely the Supreme Court will explain itself, right? Right.

I don't know the answer, BUT...what about the idea of making it legal and requiring fully transparent reporting to a government agency which then makes it all available and digestible by the public?
Seems to me that would open a lot of eyes to wasting money on these contributions. Anyone who actually wants to drain the swamp should be all for it.
