There’s some new research that shows raising pay is not great for retention. Studies say it’s better to take that money and put it into a long-term benefit line a pension, profit sharing, while life insurance with a cash out value, etc.

Raises and bonuses had about a 3-month effect.

How much power are you consuming in the closet?

You’re not wrong, but those same walled gardens keep corporations OUT as much as they keep you IN.

If you like your gardener, no big deal. But if you want azaleas and the gardener prefers daisies, ur out of luck.

The fact that we’re done posting old memes makes this chef’s kiss perfectly sublime.

What are its preferred pronouns? :)

It’s not a repost if it’s in a new platform!!!

Anyone message Ruud yet?!?

The tumeric rice hits.

It’s funny how people continue to think that joining threads is optional.

My city in AZ just passed an ordinance that requires any short term rentals to have a permit, the owner must be able to respond to the property within 60 minutes, AND there must be a verified neighbor reachable 24 hours of the day and verified.

That should put a significant dent in landlord rent seeking behavior.

Microsoft who owns the game Minecraft made a statement that they will not refer their player base to reddit going forward due to their ongoing policy changes around 3rd party apps and the like.

Low-grav, insta-gib is the best play mode.

Hit the refresh button on your browser. I’ve been having the same issue and a refresh has solved it!

To be clear: put in your creds, let the spinny thing spin for a few seconds, THEN refresh your browser.

Look, as long as I don’t have to remember both a community AND a server name, I’m good. I just don’t want to hav to remember and / or subscribe to multiple things with the exact same name.

Yeah, but not really. You couldn’t create r/Doug twice. You could create r/Dougs or r/Dougie, but not two r/Doug. Here, you can create a “Doug” for every server that exists.

I have hope for solutions though. There’s only about 8,000 active subreddits in total. The cream will rise to the top quickly and we’ll all get used to subscribing to the ‘top 3 or 4’ “Doug” communities and I’m sure the apps developed for Lemmy will ‘combine’ those behind the scenes for a smoother user experience.

I didn’t even know browse.feddit.de existed until you posted it!!! Hot tip right there. :)

Yes, but the problem is that your analogy isn’t a 1-2-1 comparison. You are correct that at reddit we had r/tech, r/technology, r/technews, etc etc etc, but on lemmy, ALL OF THOSE can be named “Technology” with exactly the same spelling. So, when I’m trying to refer someone to a “specific” Technology, I also have to include the server. A conversation may go, “Hey WooChoo, you gotta check out the posts over on Lemmy. They have the best Technology content on the internet” Then you go to some rando “Technology” on a new lemmy server and you don’t see any posts. What are the chances that you come back to me and say, “Hey Debo, remember that referral you gave me 6 weeks ago when we were talking? I went there and there wasn’t any users.” "Oh, sorry WooChoo, I forgot that you have to go to “THIS SPECIFIC SERVER of Technology” and then you’re in a federation conversation when you were just trying to share a hot tip.
