Quits mean that employees are finding other job opportunities and are taking them. Essentially there is a fuck ton of moving around going on in the economy rn. It’s not an indicator that tells you anything without more economic and data context.
that sounds like a good thing, people having options and taking them.

Are we taking bets on whether Abbott fires the employee that Huffines is on a rampage over?
there's a woman with that last name that is a CPS Specialist IV at DFPS. her whole job is to advocate and protect children, and she's probably pretty good at it given the classification. if Abbott orders her fired...man, i don't even know, that's like next level fucked up.

Team 5, followed by Team 3.

No - they got suspended for interrupting a corporate meeting that they weren't supposed to be at. Get it right.

i mean i normally agree but this felt like he did this special just to have a 30 minute airing of grievances against one specific group. and i think he's got some legitimate grievances. but that's not exactly your standard stand-up comedian tv special set.
it wasn't bad, and it was thought provoking, but i didn't find it very funny.

agree with the general assessment. i watched it and wasn't offended, i actually understood where he was coming from and he has valid points...but it did start to feel sort of mean and intentional. mostly it was just not funny, i'm not sure i even chuckled once.
i saw Netflix came down on their employees that spoke out against it/him. that's not helpful. people just continue to talk past each other, even in marginalized communities. sigh 😒

Man, I’m fortunate. All this antivax, Q, conspiracy theory crap finally woke my parents up to how insane and stupid rightwing politics are. They still hold onto some of their old beliefs, but the GOP’s festering lunacy has turned them pretty hard against even core conservative beliefs.
My mom used to attend Life Chain events (basically religious folks standing on the sidewalk during rush hour, praying for an end to Roe v. Wade). Now she says things like “I don’t particularly like abortion, but do these pro-lifers ever think about the societal cost of unwanted pregnancies?” So, nicely done, Republicans. You turned right-leaning single-issue voters against you on the ONLY issue they used to agree with you on.
congratulations, your parents are now part of the liberal cabal!

her appearance is the least of her issues and as a woman i believe females are unfairly judged more harshly on their looks when judgment should be based solely on actions and character.
having said that...she's a disgusting troll who looks like she smells. gross.

I keep it to a minimum, and I don't see my parents in person any more. I had to grow up with that batshit crazy bullshit constantly being blasted, I know how much it impacted how I approached people and the world, and I don't want any of that for my kids.
I have never left my 2.5 year old alone with her, and I have told her that's intentional and why I don't drop him off for the weekend, but the topic keeps coming up and she doesn't understand why I won't do that. If my mom ever got the chance she would baptize him immediately, teach him about Jesus/God/holy ghost or whatever, and possibly try to get him circumcised if she had the time. I have informed my daycare that my parents are not welcome there, they have absolutely no rights to the kids, and to first call the police then call me if they show up. You can't trust people that are this far down the path of insanity, they literally believe this world is nothing more than a trial to see if you pass Jesus/god's test, nothing matters other than accepting Jesus and not doing anything that automatically sends you to hell (blasphemy, divorce, gay stuff, etc).
She can't process anything in reality that conflicts with her beliefs, she can't understand how spouting this nonsense is driving away people, nor does she take any accountability for it. When my wife was pregnant with our second child, she kept sending her stuff about how the covid vaccine would cause miscarriages, birth defects, etc, and this was after I told her we both got vaccinated. While those videos and blogs she sent were bullshit, my wife still wanted to verify to make sure she didn't do anything to harm our child, because she loves them so much. We had to research a few of these things to allay her fears, but it's a fucking shitty thing to do to a pregnant woman.
Anyways, I take this stuff pretty seriously now. The amount of people she knows that form her echo chamber is pretty sad. Even more disturbing is knowing she used to be on the Texas State Board of Education, using her brain to determine what school books our kids would use to learn. Thankfully she was only there for 1 term, but still a bit disheartening. None of her crazy conspiracy stuff came up during the campaign of course.
man that's a tough read. my mom passed in 2019...and not a few times my sister and i have admitted we're honestly grateful bc we have no doubt she would have been on a similar crazy train the last two years and it would have been awful 💔

um, well... i'm not sure what part might be sarcasm. i mean if they are indeed making an 'anti vax mandate' statement i think we'd be hearing about it explicitly. at a minimum Tucker Carlson would be interviewing former SWA employees nightly. but it's only been a few days so that might still happen i guess.
ETA: are you saying that companies are screening out people voicing pro-vax opinions publicly? bc i would assume the opposite 🤔
-
hmm. seems to me if employees were walking off the job in protest of a vax mandate many of them would be in front of cameras hollering about it. bc if we've learned anything it's that the anti-vax crowd loves them some attention. 🙄

Preventing companies from enforcing a vaccine mandate is an interesting choice.
so seriously, how is this going to work when the new OSHA covid vaccine or test mandate kicks in? i have always been under the impression that federal law always supersedes state law, no? meaning if they are in conflict, the feds win.
i know there will be legal challenges, presumably on both sides...but a 500 person company in Texas, isn't it going to have to follow fed rules unless/until officially overturned?
and with the 'or test' part of it. can it even be considered a mandate legally? if not, wtf will the lawsuits even be about?
also, i am having a hard time finding an actual DATE it's supposed to go into effect.
if i work for a company and they do NOT enforce it, can i file an OSHA complaint? does OSHA even have the resources this is going to take??
so many questions. what a clusterfuck. all bc half this country has oppositional defiance disorder 🙄
fuck Greg Abbott.

Spent a glorious weekend in Breckenridge and Denver. This is my second extended trip to Colorado this year. As I was waiting to board my flight back to Austin, I reached an epiphany. Fuck Texas. Fuck what this state has become. Fuck what the hypocritical high school GED having right is doing to this state. Fuck what the over woke asshole left is doing to Austin. Fuck pretty much most of this state for being a flat wasteland of stupidity and idiocy. Fuck UT for wanting to join the other redneck glorified junior colleges of the SEC.
Life is too short to live in Texas. I'm moving and retiring out West after my youngest graduates from UT.
Fuck Abbott and his rolling hypocritical shit.
we're about six months out from our move to Denver area and every second-guess and doubt and fear i have had (i've lived in Austin since college) gets less and less important by the day. some days, by the hour.
so i guess in a way i should thank these monstrous cowards and morons for making my life change easier? lol

and Netflix also stands behind Chappelle.
