    I still remember putting in vacation at my first job, three months in advance and they still said “well it’s your job to make sure your shifts are covered”. Fuck you, Karen, you make the damn schedule one month at a time, just don’t put me on it that week.

        Seriously. You aren’t really managing your employees if they have to organize resource shortages for you. At my job, I tell my colleagues to just take time off and, like me, list a few close co-workers as people to contact in case of emergencies in their OOO reply. Nothing is life-or-death, so people can deal with waiting. It’s not like anyone is taking off months straight.

          It’s rediculous how retail jobs put you through the ringer if you dare to try to stay home while too sick to work (and basically punish you for doing the right thing and calling to notify them you won’t be in and why) but then you get into a professional job and you can sometimes simply not show up and tell nobody and be fine

      If it’s the employees job to manage themselves, then they should all be promoted to manager.

      Drag isn’t joking. Drag has worked at a company where things were done like that. It wasn’t perfect but it was better than the American model.

              Conjugation depends on the individual pronoun, not on the grammatical structure. English isn’t Latin. A lot of people complained about singular they/them because of the conjugation, but we moved past that misunderstanding a decade ago.

                If conjugation depends on the individual pronoun, the pronoun you used was third person since that’s the conjugation you used. They/them is also third person and singular and plural are conjugated the same, so the comparison doesn’t apply.

                To be clear, please use any and all pronouns you’re comfortable with. But don’t write a third person sentence and insist it’s first person.

                  Conjugation doesn’t depend on the grammatical structure. Not directly, and not through the pronoun. Drag will prove it: they/them and you/you use the same conjugation, but are in different persons. You don’t think “they” is a second person pronoun, do you?

                    Conjugation very much builds grammatical structure and is not independent from it. But that’s not what I said. As you said, conjugation depends (among others) on the pronoun. You said you were using a first person pronoun but then used a third person verb. This does not add up. You can either say “drag am always punctual” to make a first person sentence or “drag is always punctual” to make a third person sentence.

            Question 4 drag

            If drag had access to BoringNormie Pills, would drag take them?

            (Assume they would permanently or temporarily reset identity to a highly common one)

          Yeah, there was a big boss we all answered to. He just trusted us to manage ourselves instead of dedicating any employees to management. We had HR and Payroll, but they didn’t tell us what to do.

          Drag is lead to understand Valve uses a similar structure.

            Have you tried looking into why the

            Cool, someone playing Freud over a single comment.

            harmless way drag refers to dragself

            Fucking lol @ someone either trolling or dumb enough to fall for the trolling.

            makes you immediately daydream about violence?

            Pretty obvious my point was that this is the shit that bullies get erect about. I would never ever willingly talk to someone so offputting, let alone be violent toward them.

        Drag doesn’t really fit you. Let’s try something else. How about…Coco?! Yeah you seem like a Coco. Anyone else agree?
