Restaurant in NYC offshores cashier job to Philippines so they can pay below minimum wage ($3/hr in Philippines)
  • Not knowing the law in the US I guess it is fully legal. Given that there is no union or chain responsibility in the supply chain or similar to GDPR in EU you guys are fucked until someone abuse the system one way or another.

    On the other hand it shows work from home is feasible even with these kind of things.

  • Smoked wild boar leg for Christmas Lunch

    I was trying to get some inspiration for some dishes with DALL-E and this was the picture it generated. The wild boar ham-head got me.

  • Well, I’ve always been more of a proud browser agnostic, but I must confess my digital sins have often led me down the path of chrome and safari. But preach dear missionary, can Firefox truly offer redemption from the purgatory of endless updates and privacy woes?

  • Kind of cringe?

    Lunacy is too strong a word but it is kind of cringe. Constant rampage with these kinds of inspirational posts.

    Are you really smart? Are you really dumb? Are you average? How did you come to your conclusion?
  • High Intelligence, could most likely become a Mensa member. Incredible emotionally crippled by being bullied, early verbal/speech issues, been in a lots of fights, had motivation issues through university. Doing quite fine now career-wise after changing to IT and saw immediate appreciation for my faculties, but still a emotional mess, though I have a tolerant girlfriend.

  • What's some really unpopular opinion you have?
  • Many first unpopular opinion, which seems to be not unpopular anymore was in 7th grade (approximately 13-14 years old) we had a project week about drugs. I was the only one who said that I actually thought drugs should be legal. That was 20 years ago.

    Other than that the closest thing to an unpopular opinion is that I sort of think arranged marriage between people in, e.g. the west and Thailand is ok IF the marriage also include empowerment clauses, e.g. full support for the woman to study or whatever she values. Also, there should be some beneficial exit clauses. It is sad that the women find these arrangement/arrange marriage beneficial, but as long as they do I support their desperate attempt to better their life. And yes I do know of some examples - both very good and bad.

  • Workation - nice or stupid?
  • 7½ weeks in my case One reason why the idea was somewhat appealing was that I usually spend a lot of my vacation with other people, but now and then sometime alone would be a nice change. It would be an easy way to go on an "ego trip" without sacrificing time with my friends.

  • Workation - nice or stupid?
  • Thank you for all of your perspectives

    Some more perspectives/information. I can see that my post is lacking important details: 70% of my work is like mostly talking with people on how to reach solution (and possibly fixing it), 15% project work and 15% misc. It is a weird mix of sysadmin, technical support, and "internal process consultant". Deadlines are not a problem and I could even make it an easy work-week, e.g. 6-hour a day. We have a good infrastructure, thus remote connection is not a problem from that perspective - but internet connection at a hotel or café could be an issue as some pointed out.

    I do not have a wife and children, but living together with a gf and one cat.

    Regarding price I had in my thoughts just to use some of those cancellation trips which makes it quite cheap (Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, Spain... lots of cheap flights when the vacation season is over).

    With all of that said, I can see it work, but it mostly sound like a bad idea :)

  • Workation - nice or stupid?

    I have recently received several ads on LinkedIn regarding workation. I am not sure if I think it sounds stupid or not.

    I get the appeal of going south (I am from Denmark, we just had the most rainy summer ever recorded) and enjoy the weather, but at the same time it sounds like the perfect way to not enjoy your time abroad.

    I work in a position where I could easily ask to work remote for a week or two, thus the targeting ad is correct that I am in the segment.

    Any thoughts, experience or opinion on this?
