Not a store. It’s a warehouse. Walmart has 2 in the GTA. They probably can’t afford to kill this location while keeping the Walmart store chain operational. It has been unionized since 2024. This news is about them getting their first contract deal.
I think I’ll have to start that soon. Apparently teaching and leading a bunch of juniors to deliver better than their pay grade isn’t as valuable. I guess they think they can get rid of the juniors and have me do the same with cuckoding.
The landscape has shifted dramatically with the promise of big profits from higher productivity / labour cost reduction. Corpos used to be pretty strict with policies against putting proprietary code anywhere external. Now it’s all like - yeah shove it in all these third parties’ mouths, including sometimes competitors, it’ll be part of your perf review. It’s crazy. I don’t think any of this is going back to the previous posture. The profit growth promise is too great.
“stop working so hard the quotas will go up and we will be expected to make more”
They were right.
Wait, how do you know she’s not asexual?
Might be using something cheaper than Claude. Contracting agencies aren’t known to pay a lot.
Asset allocation funds might still include it. Your Vanguards and BlackRocks.
A head injury sustained from reading history. American presidency didn’i start with Reagan.
Payne said the victory came amid a deliberate strategy by the union to target parts of the business workers that could exert the most influence. While retail locations have unionized in the past, the powerful distribution centres that supply more than 100 brick and mortar stores and oversee online orders have proven elusive.
Good to see them recognize the difference in leverage different workers have. They, can use it to lift up the ones with less of it.
The OLP really doesn’t want him to be its face. Not sure he’d be able to defeat the will of the party machine.
Pay attention when they’re telling you how Canadian democracy works. It’s historically worked this way. Money has played a big role and it’s only lessened when there’s been organized pushback. Capital has interest to do the opposite, and so it does. Unfortunately this also means we may have to spend more of our wages to push back. The ones who can afford it should take note.
And this is just considering their domestic slave labour population, not the conditions under which people work for American corporations in some countries. American manufacturers didn’t move factories south just for lower wages. Low wages come hand in hand with bad working conditions.
Anthropic is helping the US National Security Agency deploy its powerful Mythos AI model for offensive cyber operations, embedding engineers inside the agency despite an ongoing legal battle with the Pentagon.
Wait, I thought it was only China, Russia and North Korea that did offensive cyber attacks and espionage. 🤔🤔
Just call it stonks and IPO.
Remains to be seen if it produces material difference or re-dress the policy and flush again.
After watching Carney’s address, I can’t say I disagree with Avi’s assessment. Lots of the address contained nice hopes and plans but the reality of it is putting money into US Big Tech for the foreseeable future.
What’s all this copper in? That’s a large motor-worth of copper.
If they want to tackle this problem they could add a separate low power tracker embedded in the body somewhere. Prolly not doing it yet but if they do you’d have to know where it is to cut it out.
Soudns like a good time to go spend some money in the gay village bars then. Perhaps march in the parade. I’d like to see the parade without the corpo floats. I recall the Montreal parade was much less corporate than the Toronto one. Lots of unions and other people orgs. The communists were at the very front of the parade.
100%. Which is why it’s crucial for Unifor to take over the other warehouse in the GTA.
