Huh, I did it yesterday and I clicked the 'here' link in the email and it took me to a page that said I was now opted out. I didn't have to do anything additional.
They will first stop paying your sick days and depending on what job you are in they may allow some additional time before they eventually fire you. If you are in a lower paying job it's likely you will be terminated earlier than someone in a higher paying white collar job.
For the three weeks I was there in March I bought a suica card at the airport and never had to think about fairs for subway or buses for the rest of the the trip. I also used it to pay fir food at convienance stores and roadside stops. That seems pretty darn convenient to me.
i routinely needed to go to an atm to withdraw cash to load up my suica while i was there. I dont understand how the Japanese people find that acceptable.
I work for a large US Corp in the US. I close my laptop at 430-5 and don't open it again until the next day. I don't have work email on my phone. Most of my friends who work for corps are the same. So I dunno. We are all on our 40s so maybe younger folks in their 20s are more connected or something but I don't think so.
Apparently Southwest is one of the biggest offenders in the airline industry when it comes to not investing in their IT infrastructure. You can only get away with that sort of debt for so long.
I knew someone who was working on this, my understanding was technology infrastructure was a huge blocker to their plans for international flights. The scheduling system required many hours of downtime every night to process. It effectively ran from the moment the last airport on the west coast closed to start of operations next day east coast and it was just getting longer.
If that's true, and I have no reason to doubt it, the blame will fall squarely on the team who were asking for IT investment, and not the leadership who said no to them.
Very interesting. I was going to make the same suggestion. Specifically bouldering since I think it's generally easier for folks to plug into their daily routines with the proliferation of gyms and not needing a significant amount of equipment. But three times per week bouldering has radically changed my body and hands for the better. I no longer have elbow or forearm/wrist pain that I used to experience quite frequently after typing for a long period.
I also want to mention that I am in my 40s and had never climbed before I started about 5 months ago. I just signed up to take an intro to bouldering course at a local gym and went from there.
Additionally climbing is a very technical sport that involves a lot of problem solving which I find very appealing.
Being overweight or out of shape shouldn't stop you from giving it a try, you might stay climbing lower grade problems longer than others but you will still find challenging physical and mental puzzles that you can complete.
Glyder 2. It was a magnificent mobile game that stopped working quite a few android versions ago. I keep meaning to dig up an old phone and sideload it.
The hospital I work for just outsourced the majority of IT to Accenture in what I am sure will become one of the worst mistakes they have ever made. The 10% if us they kept are now going to be just doing cat herding work with all our contractors. It's..... a whole thing.
