This is absolutely true. My former employer (a big box retail company) reduced my pay while I was on holiday. I had been there for years and accrued a bunch of pay rises - but the company got bought out and the new owners thought they could strip me of these because they felt they were temporary and non-contractual.

I got some legal advice that basically said they can't do that sort of thing and had a meeting scheduled with HR. I went in with my notepad, I stayed calm - pleasent even - no angry shouting or slamming tables with fists, I just politely asked them questions and wrote down everything they said, then read their answers back to them to confirm thats what they said. I had about 6 questions prepared and by the 4th they were visibly uncomfortable, it was an amazing feeling making them squirm like that. After I got done asking my questions, I dropped the legal advice I had been given on them and it was obvious the answers they gave supported my case very heavily. They panicked and reversed all there decesion plus I got back-pay.

But if the first thing I had done is charge in making accusations and quoting the law I know nothing constructive would have happened.

See the goal is to bury them in their own words.

Edit: predictably the company went bust the next year. So long Office Outlet!

They are everywhere. I'm a microplastic and think its too much.

I'm pretty confident I would not be on Lemmy right now had someone not advertised it.

So from what I've experianced - everyone wants to bang.

I initially kept Sam Coe around because he's handy with a gun and I was waiting to meet Andreja. But I swear the entire time he was giving me the fuck me eyes and I'm like no dude thats not cool lets just be friends and then I go to Barret later and he's like "Oh I'm so lonely" and I'm like then start a dating profile I am not an option and then Sarahs like "Hey BTW I'm single but I have these issues" and I'm like NON OF THIS IS APPROPRIATE FOR THE WORK PLACE.

My biggest concern is that Memes are the most prevalent content in Lemmy. Its like I'm back on 9gag in the mid-2000s.

Hello Metal Detectors perhaps you can help me: I'm into all sorts of music and I've listened to modern day metal.

What confuses me is that Led Zeppelin has also been described as Metal and Heavy Metal. I listened to Led Zeppelin 4 and it has accoustic folk songs on it.

So I guess my question is when did todays metal start to sound like metal? Is there any connective tissue with Metal in the late '60s / early '70s and now?

So plastic is made from oil, right? And oil is made from Dinosaurs. So we're just surrounded by Dinosaurs. Even micro-Dino's.

Is this their revenge?

Maybe I'M a serial killer.... of breakfast cereals that is!

I am 40 and ready to die.

So its half accurate.

Oh yeah cats are cute. But then they shed. Nothing is safe. I took my cat home from the vet once, it was a hot day, I rolled the windows down to let the heat out and started driving. Snowy sat inside his basket thing, loving the feeling of the wind blow, meanwhile a blizzard of loose fur filled the car. I should be the one at fault, but somehow it felt like it was his plan all along, revenge for going to the vets. Cats know. They always know...

What would spez character sheet look like?

Your honor I argue that the defendant was not alone on the night in question! That there was a large group there! And that is why they must be charged with.... A MURDER!
