Times are too good.
“Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”
Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

Good. I'm glad.
Gone are the days when employers and employees had any kind of relationship. That's completely evaporated.
But you'd never know it from the jive-ass bullshit employers still regurgitate. They still pretend we're all on the pension system.
So, fuck 'em. I personally think it's a bit ridiculous not to just adjust your schedule but if she wants to tank a job offer, more power to her.
Please love yourself.

We still get one, although I'm getting a little concerned that might not last. It's a massive deal if you can get one, and gets more important with every passing year.
5 day weeks aside, we tend to keep people a long time.
Sometimes too long -

I remember being told in an all-staff meeting that executive management's job was to empower us to thrive in our careers and to get us all to succeed. A couple days later, when I got into work in the morning, an entire section of the office was cleared out. 150 people lost their jobs and neither they nor the rest of us were given any notice. This was followed by a "town hall" meeting a week later in which we were told executive management's job was to empower us to help us succeed.
I don't know if I can count on two hands the number of times I've seen and heard that kind of bullshit, so I'm not too keen on the idea that employees owe employers a fucking thing.

Working in a small to medium publicly traded company in particular can be pretty miserable. In my previous job, they instigated all these mission statements about treating their employees with respect, but would regularly lay-off people as a tactic to show their shareholders how much they were profit driven. Then we'd have big meetings on what we should be doing better to improve staff morale, as though it was our fault everybody was miserable.
My favourite day of all was when they sold the company to a large multinational at an inflated share price, and then announced there would be no pay raises since we had to pay back the money to the new owners. Of course, the people who negotiated the deal (and who regretfully announced the lack of a pay-raise) all became gazillionaires as they all owned significant stock

Before I got my master's, things seemed kinda weird at the day job. I had a regular Thursday meeting with my designer, and one day I went to her desk and it was cleared out. Then my marketing person got let go, then my proofreader, then a co-worker.
Before I left, I helped my boss find a replacement for me since he was recently assigned to my work and wasn't as familiar with it. I thought they found a good person. I checked in with them all about 2-3 months after I left. They eliminated that position.
I feel bad for who they hired; it was all pretty fucked up, all things considered.
