I doubt it. These are people who moved away after Amazon started letting people temporarily work from home. They kept their job and worked remote. Amazon then forced people to start returning to the office.

Until now, these people have been able to go to small "satellite" locations instead. Amazon is beginning to close these and is now telling people that they must relocate to actual offices or resign. If you read the article then you would know.

So yes you can absolutely resign. But it will be difficult to get employment benefits. You resigned because you don't want to go back to your designated office. YOU moved away. It is not Amazon's fault that you don't want to move back after they mandated office time. If you decide to quit, well, isn't that on you?

You think the government should force you to hire someone and keep them employed???? That's pretty crazy.

The US healthcare system isn't broken. It's just expensive. 15% of my income goes into healthcare insurance and 33% goes into taxes. Only the lower class have bad healthcare because they cannot afford insurance. They prefer to have iPhones, nice TVs, video games, nicer cars, etc.. Then there are people who are below poverty which can barely afford food or rent. These people cannot afford healthcare at all and are forced to go to free clinics that have limited subsidies by the government. Not many doctors want to go through 8-12 years of medical school and then get paid poorly by offering free or cheap healthcare.

You can refuse to resign. They will then likely fire you. The government does not force employers to hire people and keep them employed.

If you are fired or lose your job from layoffs then you may file for unemployment benefits. You then get a much lower income while you look for a new job. However, many people treat this as a low-paid vacation since the benefits can last for 6+ months. If you quit, then you generally cannot get these benefits.

Getting unemployment after being fired is more difficult and scrutinized than being laid off. So it will still be difficult to get them.

Same with real bands. Spotify keeps playing knockoff covers, or songs that sample like 50% of the original song. From actual bands and not AI. Such garbage.

I agree. If people enjoy the song then what does it matter?

Same with human generated crap. Bunch of auto-tuned garbage that I wish I can filter out. Very difficult.

Forcing everyone to subsides another person's bill IS screwing everyone IMO. It's screwing everyone except the people who are getting handouts.

Seems backwards to punish those who work hard while rewarding those who don't. It's nice to think that these programs are used mostly by people who are down on their luck, but that's not the case. They're mostly helping people who are a drain on society and don't want any responsibility for themselves.

I'm not sure that I agree with a state's right to force a private company to offer their services at a specific cost.

If they get state funding, then sure, as a part of their contact. But even then, tax payers would be subsidizing someone else's bill in this case.

There is more of a chance that they've done warehouse work, than there is a chance that you've done coding. Dumb statements like yours tell it all.

The article is specifically about not coding, and instead is about mundane, fast-paced work with timely quotas using AI instead. They used to use their brain to think about and code around problems. Now they're reviewing code and clipping it together so that it works, under a figurative whip. Monkey work.

I agree. $22k across 10 years is practically nothing. I'm guessing that most people here on Slashdot pay at least that in taxes every year. And I'm not talking upper class.

Really? All I see are videos showcasing how glitchy it is, and even more complaining about how poorly it runs while looking like a game from a decade ago.

Disney has also done a number on the franchise even if the game has no direct relation. The fact that Ubisoft practically gender swapped Han Solo with a new name makes it look like wokey DEI trash. No idea if that's the case, but that's the impression that it gives their target audience these days. If the game came out 10+ years ago I'm sure people would have loved it and would not have cared.

Odyssey, which is now 7 years old, has a higher weekly sales number. That's how bad it is.

True, and it was difficult even back then too. Thousands of people trying to "make it" on YouTube and only a few being successful relative to that. And they grew at a time where YouTube wasn't as strict about the content that can be monetized or promoted.

People complain that proprietary plugins only work with the open-source tool they they're contributing to, and your answer is to switch to another tool where the plugins are still unsupported? How does that make any sense or help?

You just went full retard.

OK, and how many people liked Daisy Ridley's character? Her toys sat on store shelves until they went on clearance, and they were even a tough sell after that. That's true for nearly every character in their trilogy.

Disney still doesn't understand Star Wars if their plan is use DOA characters to revive a series that has lost half its fan-base. They may be shooting for new fans, but clearly that didn't work too well the first time around.

I mean there isn't much character growth that can be written into a character who is already perfect and the best at everything.
