I mistyped ":chats" as ":cats" in iamb (the terminal #Matrix client), and now I'm low-key disappointed that #iamb doesn't have a ":cats" command. ;)

Amazon said on Monday it would require employees to return to the office five days a week, effective 2 January.

“We’ve decided that we’re going to return to being in the office the way we were before the onset of COVID"
Andy Jassy, the CEO, said in a note to employees.

Since Covid lockdowns first forced workers home four years ago, employers and employees have clashed over how many days of the work week must be spent in the office.

In May last year, employees at Amazon’s Seattle headquarters staged a walkout protesting against changes to the e-commerce giant’s climate policy, layoffs and a return-to-office mandate.

“Before the pandemic, it was not a given that folks could work remotely two days a week, and that will also be true moving forward,” Jassy wrote.
“Our expectation is that people will be in the office outside of extenuating circumstances.”

I took a class on Career Growth today.

It left me with some insights I feel I must share.

Mostly about the 40 year corporate nut shot I finally realized is happening.

And it's weirdly sad and hilarious at the same time.

Madness

Following an apparent 2nd assassination attempt on #Trump, #ElonMusk posted, "And no one is even trying to assassinate Biden/Kamala."

User cb_doge on X wrote, "Why they want to kill Donald Trump." #Musk, the billionaire owner of the social media site who supports Trump, replied, "And no one is even trying to assassinate Biden/Kamala."

Users criticized #ElonMusk for his post, saying it could be interpreted as #incitement of #violence against #POTUS Joe #Biden & VP #KamalaHarris, both of whom condemned Sun's apparent assassination attempt.

User LakotaMan1: "Who else here feels that Elon Musk should be stripped of his #security clearance, & US citizenship & then deported back to his home nation of South Africa?"

Elizabeth de la Vega, a fmr federal prosecutor, wrote that #Musk's post would warrant a visit by the #SecretService.

in reply to Nonilex

"In all seriousness, as a former federal prosecutor, I can tell you that a statement like #ElonMusk's below DOES require an immediate visit by the US #SecretService. That is the protocol in every similar situation,” wrote Elizabeth de la Vega.

While 2 gunmen have tried to assassinate Trump in the past 2 months, #Musk's claim that "no one is even trying to assassinate Biden/Kamala" is not true.

In Aug, the #FBI arrested a man in VA after he made online threats about setting #Harris on fire.



Legacy Media is largely ignoring it but the Israeli military just admitted it killed 3 more Israeli hostages.

With so many unanswered questions, I have 3 questions that we need answered immediately if we have any hope to uphold peace, security, and justice.

JFC. The use of passive language and the complicity of news reporting is amazing.
