Come to think of it, I’ve heard that all my life but never questioned it. Is it really true for all of them?

I hope people don’t get pulled over for gaming a navigation app and a phone mount on their handlebars. That would suck.

Answers with Joe?

Well they don’t know know, but there are signs. For one, we fill in timesheets, and lying on them is a no-no. I could probably get away with stretching the truth a little, but if they notice I only commit between X and Y time, or that I’m seldom available for developer questions at a particular time, they might get suspicious and investigate my hours.

As for overtime… Well I think how companies handle it is they don’t actually ask us to stay late; they just give us unrealistic targets that kinda require overtime unless you’re a god if we ever complained they’d say they never asked for us to stay late.

We used to be able to accumulate time indefinitely and take time off according to the bank of extra time we’d worked, but once, someone accumulated hundreds of hours and just left on an unplanned vacation for nearly a full month and they really didn’t like that. So now, you need to work your quota (which you can have them adjust to your capabilities; 30, 35, 40…) on average every month. So, sure, I can work only 20 hours one week, but that’s 15 hours of extra time I need to do within that month.

And if you have extra at the end of the month, well, that’s lost.

Which sucks, because I used to use those as sick days over the legally required two paid ones we get per year; my health isn’t exactly resplendent.

This is so common in Quebec that I have trouble believing it’s illegal. I think it might be a loophole.

I have a salaried position. I don’t clock in. But it’s typically only used to deny us overtime pay. If I work 35 hours a week, I’m paid 12.5% less than my colleagues who do 40. And if my lunch break is too long, I’m expected to stay late sometime within the month to compensate.

And while I do have a shit job (save me) I’ve never seen someone whose employer didn’t mind their hours as long as they got shit done.

Am I… Agreeing? With something an Iranian President said?

Do we need a name? Most social networks don’t have a special name for their users.

On mobile, it’s very bearable. You can skip them quickly.

On TV, oh boy. It’s super long and now you have to skip several times in an ad block to reduce your ad duration to the minimum.

As for desktop… Idk I only sit at my desk for work.

As someone who played exclusively ARAM because I just don’t like the main game, even in LoL, that mode is pretty chill.

Either even salty people can calm down when the stakes are lower, either that mode mostly attracts the non-salty people, but yeah, I would rarely encounter toxic people.

Can you elaborate?

All of those issues sound like things the game developers should figure out solutions to. If there’s a boring behaviour that results in boring gameplay and people can’t do much against that unless they have overwhelming skill… Yeah sounds like a problem that they need to solve somehow.

Because games should be fun.
