50 hours over what kind of timeframe? Is it like, 50 hours over 6 months? Because that’s only about half an hour a day, and no one can tell me that they haven’t just absolutely wasted half an hour on the clock doing something stupid, or even nothing at all. The fact that the time frame isn’t mentioned is kind of chilling, because it leaves it to us, the readers, to determine who is in the right when we don’t even have a frame of reference for when the supposed “crime” occurred.
The use of monitoring software or personal computers is a very uncomfortable idea, and the fact that companies can monitor your every second of activity and determine what you’re doing and for how long is certainly a big brother-esque line of monitoring.
I think at the end of the day, businesses should only care about the results. If remote work lets people deliver the same results using less time, then adjust for that. But there’s no reason to do shit like this, when it’s a well known fact that corporate wage theft steals far more every year than someone taking a 20 minute shit on the clock

They all do. They're all too disassociated with reality and not looking to the interests of the people. The whole system is garbage.1 term maximums, minimum wage the whole time, bank accounts monitored the whole time, no charitable donations or campaign donations allowed, any attempted "donations" go to a fund that fuels each politican equally for their campaign and each politician gets the super basic healthcare benefits while in office. Also any criminal act is automatically moved to max sentencing allowable for an elected official. They all need to fear the power they yield, find it fiscally irresponsible to stay in office, and work their fingers to the bone trying to help the people they represent.

Oh, I think we can all agree that you hardly think.

The only one going through mental gymnastics is you. Have you considered that they just choose not to victimize themselves 24/7?

You've never been accosted for walking on someone else's grass before?

Maybe the house speaker should have no power at all to do anything. Sarcasm.

Smells like the perfect time to start pearl clutching about the deficit as an excuse to delete social security again.
The current dumbasses forgot the pearl clutching step and are just trying to cut it.

Tossing the "Are Women Property?" question back to the states is a bit more than some trolling

Weird.
So why didnt the supposed Monolithic GOP give all of their votes to McCarthy from the get go, as you would expect from a. group that you claim votes party line every single time. Why did they need to go 15 rounds of voting to get it done?
Meanwhile, every single DNC member voted for Hakeem Jeffries.
You seem very, very confused.

He gave a good apology. We can only hope he follows it up with actions. We all make mistakes.
I think he was trying to tell a self-deprecating joke, and as he said, “missed the mark”.

This is the answer. McCarthy has no room to negotiate, he has no control of the crazy right and is very likely to fuck up our credit rating as a country, here in the next few weeks. In chaos is opportunity, and here he is, the previous weakest speaker in our times… He should have gone into the cannabis business, like that hypocrite Boehner.

Some people want to think that wage theft by employers is not a much larger and more common crime. Fraud is not ok, but this story is isolated, wage theft is not.

Wage theft by employers is the biggest money crime in the US. We will see stories like this, but nothing about the much larger crime of rich people stealing from workers. Par for the course in America

Why would he apologize? He was just telling the truth about how the GOP thinks all women are just breeding stock.
