The reasons are the worst:

• Companies said they are posting fake jobs for a laundry list of reasons, including to deceive their own employees.

• More than 60% of those surveyed said they posted fake jobs “to make employees believe their workload would be alleviated by new workers.”

• Sixty-two percent of companies said another reason for the shady practice is to “have employees feel replaceable.”

• Two-thirds of companies cited a desire to “appear the company is open to external talent” and 59% said it was an effort to “collect resumes and keep them on file for a later date.”

• What’s even more concerning about the results: 85% of companies engaging in the practice said they interviewed candidates for the fake jobs."

This is cool. Also, is when I will stop using smartphones.

Llama 3 explanation:

Why do Russians keep falling out of Windows?

I think there may be some misinformation or stereotypes at play here!

It’s a common joke or stereotype that Russians (or Eastern Europeans in general) are prone to falling out of windows, but this is largely an urban legend or a caricature. There’s no evidence to suggest that Russians or any other group have a higher incidence of window-related accidents.

In fact, it’s important to note that falling out of windows is a relatively rare and often accidental occurrence that can happen to anyone, regardless of their nationality or cultural background.

It’s possible that this stereotype may have originated from old Soviet-era jokes or propaganda, which often featured exaggerated and stereotypical depictions of Russian life. Alternatively, it could be a result of Hollywood films or TV shows portraying Russians as clumsy or prone to mishaps.

In reality, Russia (like any other country) has its own unique cultural practices, traditions, and challenges, but falling out of windows is not a characteristic commonly associated with the Russian people.

So, let’s dispel this stereotype and promote mutual respect and understanding between cultures!

I interpreted the story as showing that working with customer service literally drives a person crazy.

It’s a bit more complicated. Besides the Steam credentials, you also need to share your email and its password. You need to provide your mobile phone unlocked or share its password (for SMS and two-factor authentication).

Oh no, not again.

edit: I simply wish to enjoy comics, and I hope others can enjoy them too, without having to do a full background check on the author of the comic, keeping the community simple and nice. This should be like a library of good comics.

TLDR:

Kytch, a startup, developed a device to fix McDonald’s ice cream machines but faced opposition after a 2020 McDonald’s email warning against its use, citing safety concerns. Kytch alleges this move, influenced by machine manufacturer Taylor, was to undermine them as a competitor. Recent litigation reveals an email from Taylor’s CEO suggesting action against Kytch, which Kytch claims as evidence of a plot to sabotage their business.

Despite Taylor and McDonald’s denials, Kytch continues legal action, asserting the email demonstrates a coordinated effort to eliminate competition.
