All jobs scam people with various fake promises.  In my last job they promised me a number of interesting endeavours only to put me to cover odd jobs. In the previous one they promised me a permanent position and did a bait-and-switch with a bullshit justification that was unnecessarily offensive.  Seems that faced with a difficulty to cover something some employers things it´s acceptable and ethical to just lie. 

[MrRoboto75]

Its acceptable and ethical because companies have more rights than people do here, and nobody wants or can stop them.

[ChairmanPoo]

Realize that my two last jobs happened in two different places that weren't your "here" 

For that matter it wasn't done by supremely high-up people (or at least people that from my POV were supremely high). Just my direct line managers fucking around

[Robot Parade Leader]

For what it's worth, that sucks. Wish it wasn't like that.

Driving thought:

Disco doesn't die, till love of disco dies.
Love of disco is eternal, so disco never dies.

[heydude6]

That is true. Apparently ABBA is considered to be disco and I still love that band.

Have you been playing Disco Elysium by any chance?

[Frumple]

Nope.

... also probably never will. Most things I've seen about it suggests it's a good game I'd not enjoy playing at all. Nah, what kicked the thought off was hitting some glitch hop with heavy disco elements that showed up on my playlist.

All music die
Punk die; Disco die
Even Rock must die
One thing there is that never die
Judgement upon dead songs

You say that, but when the last star in the universe dies and heat death comes knocking, something, somewhere, will still be playing christmas music for the last two or three months of what used to be an earth year. That shit's going to outlast christmas, outlast christianity, outlast the earth, outlast the platonic ideal of a god. Strange aeons may kill death, but christmas music will still be there when death dies.

Fuck me sideways, that's bleak. That trash is bad enough in season, let alone out-of-season.

[scourge728]

I love Christmas music

[hector13]

You have obviously never worked retail where they play the same four Christmas songs, remixes or covered by different bands invariably not as good as the original, for however many weeks between Thanksgiving and a New Year.

[JoshuaFH]

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me: A Christmas song that plays infinite-ly

[Frumple]

I mean, so long as it's like trans siberian orchestra or Tchaikovsky/Nutcracker Suite (or both, I guess), I'm mostly okay with it being infinite repeat. It's just the... rest of it. That's not the nutcracker suite. It could go. It never will go, but it could.
