Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

Please do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.

The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:

This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.
We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.
As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!
Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.
Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).
Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.
Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

I've seen posts recently about "quiet quitting". (lemmy.world)

The quote: "Quiet quitters are hard to handle because they continue to complete their assigned workload to the same (often high) standard, giving their managers an uneasy feeling but nothing specific to complain about."

My first reaction to this "quiet quitting" thing was that it's gotta be some sort of parody. Then I remembered the 90s film "Office Space" and Jennifer Aniston as a waitress getting cornered and reprimanded over wearing the minimum amount of flair required as codified by the employee manual, page whatever, article whatever else.

"We're here to have fun! Get a little crazy! Be a team!" - as the original spirit of the thing, which fairly quickly gets hijacked by the first petty tyrant that sees an opportunity to be exploited.

And that, kids, is why we can't have nice things. Because one of every four or five of us, turns out to be a petty tyrant first chance they get.

"Quiet quitting? Oh, do you mean acting my wage?"

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

exactly. because it's a proven fact, actually, that working harder DOES NOT EVER result in higher compensation.

the results are in. it's a closed issue. the managerial class has fucked the workers long enough.

if they want more than minimum, they need to pay more than minimum.

we're done working more than minimum uncompensated.

FUCK 'EM.

Every boss wants every employee to care about the bottom line.

Then make it an employee owned company. Oh, you don't want to do that because you have to share the profits? Then deal with no one caring.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Not every boss. I do care about the bottom line, because it's my job to guide the team to efficiency. Most of my employees are solid and make managing easy. Where I make my paycheck is making sure all the customers get their shit during the holidays when they all burn their PTO.

You spelled paycheck wrong

On the internet, any time you're about to call someone out for saying/doing something wrong, I suggest first checking that it isn't just a cultural thing. Those undersea cables stretch pretty far.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

That wouldn't be very American.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

No, you did.

It's the British/Canadian spelling

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

NZ, Australia as well. Basically everywhere except the US.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I’ve seen it spelled this way in other places before. I’m not sure if it’s wrong so much as an archaic or regional spelling.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Heh. Most English-speaking countries spell cheque this way.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Everywhere that speaks English, except the US spells it this way, afaik. NZ, Aus, Can, UK, South Africa, India…. The US way is the regional variance.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I definitely make spelling errors sometimes, but that's a common spelling in Canada where I'm from.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

An elegant spelling for a more civilized age.

I had this conversation with one boss once.

"You don't seem deeply committed to this place."

"Yeah. No shit. You might have noticed that you have to pay me to even show up."

That put an end to that line of inquiry.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Haha I like that line. Like, it's obvious, but I've never seen it phrased like that.
