Corporations: the good, the bad, and the ugly

The adult film industry parodies movies all the time. Do they have any Hallmark parodies?

I'm only half-kidding with this. It would need to be done right with the full production values, but it would become legendary if you could cross over to the mainstream. 

Ladies like porn more than folks assume. "Deck My Balls" could be the magic ticket to improved marital relations.

I agree. A film like this could have legs, especially if the acting wasn't half bad.

I like everything but the title.  That sounds painful.

I like I'm Dreaming of a Hot Christmas better.  Or...Oh Horny Night.

 
Google Had Secret Project to ‘Convince’ Employees ‘That Unions Suck’

In his ruling on the documents related to Project Vivian, the NLRB judge describes evidence he reviewed of a situation where a Google attorney proposed to find a “respected voice to publish an OpEd outlining what a unionized tech workplace would look like, and counseling employees of FB (Facebook), MSFT(Microsoft), Amazon, and google (sic) not to do it.”

Kara Silverstein, Google’s human resources director said that she “like[d] the idea” of the op-ed, but that it should be executed so that “there would be no fingerprints and not Google specific.” IRI Consultants eventually provided a proposed draft of the op-ed to a Google attorney, according to the judge’s report.

OK, this is dirty.

But, is it different than a pro union group putting out propaganda convincing employees about how horrible the company is and that they should unionize?

There's a pretty big difference between an external group doing something and the company's director of HR.

Also, there's the 4 fired employees. And Google may have violated labor laws.

 
I'd argue too that unions don't neccessarily position themselves as the solution to a horrible company, but to instead allow folks to better understand their power to fight for fair wages, hours, insurance, vacation, safety etc as a whole.  

In my mind it's sorta like the folks who are choosing to not testify when supeona'd . if you have nothing to hide, want the best legal outcome and care about people you just do it.  A good company should have no issues with a union.  If they do, I question what they're hiding or trying to get over on their employees.

 
Didn't know where else to put this.  But, this is going to be interesting.  Anyone who flies regularly, I feel, has the opinion that the old "put your phones on airplane mode before takeoff" is BS.  I don't know how many times I have forgotten to do it and I'm sure there are many others too.  When was the last time a plane crashed and the report came back as "passenger in seat 14B didn't have his phone on airplane mode"?

I'm sure the experts will debate this and com up with some agreement as to what should be done.


 
I can't pretend to understand how it impacts planes, but I know the 5G change is going to have a huge impact on many cars ... like big impact on navigation and other things the computer is dependent on.  I just read about it yesterday and was shocked that we're not all gettting a heads up from the manufacturers or dealerships.

Aren't there areas with 5G now?

 
I'm so out of touch with this kind of technology, so I'll go ahead and ask the dumb question.... Why would 5G, which is faster internet (right?), shut down planes and cars? Also, why are people concerned about it in the first place.
