  • Because it’s worth knowing beforehand what a company is really like behind closed doors.

    Some companies are great, some suck in standard corporate fashion, but there are some out there that are exceptional in sucking…

    I’ll use myself an example… the last company I worked for, our team was constantly given deadlines that were impossible to meet within work hours. The company basically refused to pay for what was essentially mandatory overtime required to catch up - wage theft by a different name.

    Fortunately my role allowed me to push back, but most of peers didn’t - we were all straight out of university, some needed the money/job, but most just didn’t know how to fight in the corporate environment.

    Not to mention that a few folks who did try to complain against the company conveniently found themselves fired for some miscellaneous breaches of contract. From what I heard, one was even fired based on their reaction to being told they were being dismissed - quite literally entrapment.

    If you’re wondering why we didn’t sue or anything like that, again we were all straight out of uni, we barely knew what our working rights were…

    Which is why Glassdoor was important - it was how most of these folks got word out about the company and tried to warn other potential candidates of what they were walking into.

    The company knew about it too because they posted multiple fake reviews to try to drown out the real ones. I know for a fact that if they were able to find out who posted these, they would have retaliated, likely in the form of litigation.



  • God damn Tories. What do they know about “best interests of the child” that a doctor doesn’t already know? Less than nothing is the answer.

    If a young person is suffering from gender dysmorphia to the point of considering gender affirmation procedures, then I think it’d be in their best interest to not exacerbate that condition. Delaying the onset of puberty via puberty blockers until they’re at the age where that can legally consent to such procedures isn’t exactly novel.

    Even if they eventually decide not to undergo those procedures, all you habr to do is take them off the blockers and they’d undergo puberty as normal. There’s not all that much downside for an awful lot of upside for those in need.

    They weren’t asking you if there are two sets of rules, we’re in a thread that’s basically all qbout the Weak vs. Strong juxtaposition debate, they asked you which you consider correct.

    Giving the answer to a question they didn’t ask to avoid the one they did is immature.
