That Bethesda Union looking even better now.
Just yesterday, it was alleged that Bungie’s CEO Pete Parsons had purchased 24 cars cumulatively valued at $2.5m just before the layoffs. Parson’s Twitter account went private yesterday, too.
Pete Parsons thanks all the plebs who lost their job. If the plebs didn’t lose their jobs, Pete Parsons would not be able to buy 24 cars.
I heard the secret sauce is kerosene but no idea why, so I just looked it up!
Didn’t find anything conclusive about the specific comparison between the two, aside from Kerosene being less volatile than gasoline
Maybe it’s because it’s safer to make/transport, or gels differently, or maybe they’re wrong and gas is just better.
If you form explosives into the cone-shaped bottom of a wine bottle, it will make a shaped charge that can wreck an engine block.
Soo, put the plastic explosives on the outside of a bottle, and aim upwards?
That employee needs to get over her simping mentality and sue for the gender discrimination Bungie is blatantly guilty of. I don’t give a shit if they happened to be doing a mass layoff at the same time; you don’t get rid of somebody right before their already-scheduled maternity leave!
I’m not sure you have a case if the percentage of women on maternity leave in the fired group is roughly the same as in the non-fired group.
If it isn’t illegal to fire people taking maternity leave specifically, which I don’t think it is in the US, you’re out of luck. The only illegal thing is firing people because of maternity leave. Since there was a mass layoff, it can easily be argued that the maternity leave was not the reason.
The US needs better labor laws, and thus unions. An individual can’t do anything against it.
There are two possibilities. Either:
-
The decision to lay the person off was made before the maternity leave was scheduled, in which case I’d argue she has a case for detrimental reliance, or
-
The decision to lay the person off was made after the maternity leave was scheduled, in which case a prima facie assumption is fair to make that the taking of leave obviously colored the supervisor’s evaluation and contributed to the layoff, and the burden is on the employer to prove otherwise.
Seriously? It happened to someone I used to work with (last November). Except they laid her off while she was on maternity leave.
My wife was at home for 3 months before the birth of our child and 2 years afterward. I always considered that not enough.
I can’t imagine living in a country where you could be laid off before or even worse during your maternity leave.
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again (even though I’m not a big fan of bungie’s sketchy business practices and gameplay decisions). ALL GAME STUDIOS NEED TO FOLLOW BETHESDAS EXAMPLE AND UNIONIZE.
Pete is a piece of shit.
America is a savage country that hates its women.
How come maternity or even better parental leave ever on the agenda?
What about making employers justify layoffs beyond daddy said it’s good?
Nothing that would matter to every working person is ever on the agenda, then we wonder how corpos can do this to us.
Have you seen or politicians (on the right especially)? They’re decrepit, weird ghouls.
New law:
If you got pregnant with an employer’s promise of maternity leave they should be on the hook for all 9 months.
They can either keep you on and get work out of you or they can fire you 2 months in but they’re paying you all 9 months + 3 month maternity leave post partum.
All the old people think women shouldn’t be working so they are against pro-natal workplace policies and a disturbingly large amount of young people are doom-pilled enough they think pro-natal workplace policies are unfair to them because they don’t want to have kids.
Land of the free home of the brave. Welcome to the american dream. it isn’t for you
