Boss forced everyone to come into work because she was tired of using tech. Wanted people to come in and eat ice cream while brainstorming with post it notes. Said anyone not there is fired.

Well she didn't put any effort into planning it, and it was very inefficient so everyone ended up using their computers like they had been doing at home. Just with more distractions and needing to commute. Not much work got done so everyone needed to work from home that night after hours to meet deadlines.

Well it turns out the guy passing out icecream was also passing out covid. Every single person on the team got sick. None of the projects were completed by the deadlines and the entire department was shut down. Everyone lost their jobs.

The boss herself is still unemployed over a year later because she is now disabled with long covid. Has a heart problem from it where she can pass out at random times. Can no longer taste ice cream.

This is surprising to me, I actually experienced the opposite. Reddit had a lot of teens but Lemmy seems to have older posters who are more thoughtful about what they post. In my 30's myself and wasn't able to get anyone younger than 34 to join.

It could just be the communities you subscribed to?
