If I also got paid my current salary to bag and stock, I'd volunteer too. Easy money.

What do you mean free work? They're asking corporate people to help out with stocking and bagging, at their current corporate pay rate. Who is doing anything for free???

Isn't it the opposite? Corporate workers are being paid corporate wages to help in warehouses or stock rooms.

If I was asked to do this instead of my normal job and get paid my current salary. The answer is heck yeah.

Ok, but why was he able to stick around for 2 seasons? He is suddenly super busy only after it failed? If Season 2 was a success, do you think he'd still be leaving?

It seems more like he's leaving because the second season failed. He thought that the second game's story would do better in the live action format with a wider audience, but half the audience still clocked out. How many of those will stay for season 3, and what will the aftermath budget be? More like he's running away since he won't be able to fix it in the time required for season 3. I don't think he's even capable of fixing it since he lost his better half.

Maybe they knew that the second season was going to be garbage based on the game reception, and ramped down on funding? Did it cost more to produce season 2?

Druckmann's reason for leaving feels like an excuse. Half the audience clocked out mid-way into season 2. How many of those will remain for season 3? I don't think "production quality" is to blame even if you think it was poorer.

It failed for the same reason that people hated the second game. And I think he doesn't want his named tarnished further by this series since he already f**ked it up and there's no way to fix it. They thought that the live action adaptation would be more accepted than the game's sequel, but it obviously wasn't. Not sure why they thought it would without changing the reasons that it failed. Seems like he's running away. If it did exceptionally well then I doubt he'd be leaving.

I doubt it. These are people who moved away after Amazon started letting people temporarily work from home. They kept their job and worked remote. Amazon then forced people to start returning to the office.

Until now, these people have been able to go to small "satellite" locations instead. Amazon is beginning to close these and is now telling people that they must relocate to actual offices or resign. If you read the article then you would know.

So yes you can absolutely resign. But it will be difficult to get employment benefits. You resigned because you don't want to go back to your designated office. YOU moved away. It is not Amazon's fault that you don't want to move back after they mandated office time. If you decide to quit, well, isn't that on you?

You think the government should force you to hire someone and keep them employed???? That's pretty crazy.

The US healthcare system isn't broken. It's just expensive. 15% of my income goes into healthcare insurance and 33% goes into taxes. Only the lower class have bad healthcare because they cannot afford insurance. They prefer to have iPhones, nice TVs, video games, nicer cars, etc.. Then there are people who are below poverty which can barely afford food or rent. These people cannot afford healthcare at all and are forced to go to free clinics that have limited subsidies by the government. Not many doctors want to go through 8-12 years of medical school and then get paid poorly by offering free or cheap healthcare.

You can refuse to resign. They will then likely fire you. The government does not force employers to hire people and keep them employed.

If you are fired or lose your job from layoffs then you may file for unemployment benefits. You then get a much lower income while you look for a new job. However, many people treat this as a low-paid vacation since the benefits can last for 6+ months. If you quit, then you generally cannot get these benefits.

Getting unemployment after being fired is more difficult and scrutinized than being laid off. So it will still be difficult to get them.

Same with real bands. Spotify keeps playing knockoff covers, or songs that sample like 50% of the original song. From actual bands and not AI. Such garbage.

I agree. If people enjoy the song then what does it matter?

Same with human generated crap. Bunch of auto-tuned garbage that I wish I can filter out. Very difficult.

Forcing everyone to subsides another person's bill IS screwing everyone IMO. It's screwing everyone except the people who are getting handouts.

Seems backwards to punish those who work hard while rewarding those who don't. It's nice to think that these programs are used mostly by people who are down on their luck, but that's not the case. They're mostly helping people who are a drain on society and don't want any responsibility for themselves.

I'm not sure that I agree with a state's right to force a private company to offer their services at a specific cost.

If they get state funding, then sure, as a part of their contact. But even then, tax payers would be subsidizing someone else's bill in this case.

There is more of a chance that they've done warehouse work, than there is a chance that you've done coding. Dumb statements like yours tell it all.

The article is specifically about not coding, and instead is about mundane, fast-paced work with timely quotas using AI instead. They used to use their brain to think about and code around problems. Now they're reviewing code and clipping it together so that it works, under a figurative whip. Monkey work.

I agree. $22k across 10 years is practically nothing. I'm guessing that most people here on Slashdot pay at least that in taxes every year. And I'm not talking upper class.
