"I'm literally having a panic attack."
I've been a US Government employee for almost 25 years. We had our "Return to Office" meeting today. They have even gotten rid of episodic/situational telework. I have two kids in braces and one of them is in counseling twice a month. I was hoping they would still let us work partial days off but they aren't. I'm going to have to take a full day off every time one of them has an appointment. I don't know how I'm going to do this. I'm also in the process of getting divorced and I can't even get their dad to do the dishes so he's not going to help just to punish me.
From her post history:
The comments:
I didn't vote for Trump if that is what you're asserting. I have never voted for a Republican actually. I support policies that make sense. Not talking out of both sides of your head. One side says "save money" and the other side says "and we will rent more office space or pay for people to relocate if we have to just to make people come in".
Trump is the cumination of years of work done by Republicans to undermine our democracy, from gerrymandering districts to the push for anti abortion rights that started over 40 yrs ago just because you didn't vote for one Republican doesn't mean you didn't help put him in the white house. And now you come to us whining about your problems. I for one do not feel a bit sorry for you. You have been anti government for most of your life while sucking at the government tit for the last 25 yrs. About time you found out what side your bread was buttered on.
Ooooo looks like the leopards are eating well here
These reddittors are so annoying, I almost feel bad for the OP.
(In particular, to get women to quit)
This is it right here. Once again women will be forced to decide between economic leverage and their children.
Christo-fascism requires strict gender roles/hierarchy. We'll see a lot more of this kind of sh%t over the next four years.
Preach. It's too often women who have to sacrifice their careers for their families.
yep, my male coworkers would rush off to happy hour to brownnose the bosses while my female coworkers rushed home to get their kids from daycare. guess who gets considered for the promotions?

It's not something they'll admit to, but it's not a clear-cut 'it doesn't happen'.

Yes the voice assistant listens all the time and records when it thinks it hears its trigger phrase - if you have the voice assistant turned on, at least, but you know when it's recorded something because it answers back
What these people are saying is that your phone just silently records you whenever it's on, or even whenever it has any sort of access to electricity

Well they have to be listening to you at all times, otherwise they couldn't be woken up with just a verbal prompt. And they do record every interaction you have with them.
The question then becomes whether you trust the megacorps like Apple, Amazon and Google to be telling the whole truth about what they do and don't keep ahold of. Yes, that's far too much data to be easily sorted through, but of course they could fairly easily check for key words, Patriot Act style.
On the other hand, it's the closest we've gotten yet to installing a sense of opsec in people like this. If only they were more paranoid about everything else they do online.

100% her google history was looking up something about pregnancy or having kids or something weakly related

I know a dude like this, he talks about how he always uses a certain credit card at Walmart and has it linked to their app. And how he can then look at all the purchases made with the card in the app even if it was in the store. Then acts amazed that he gets ads for the shit he buys. I've tried to explain how that data is bought and sold but he's convinced that 'They' not only listen but take photos via phones to see what's being bought. And that then his conversations are voiced matched to him for advertising.
Most of the time other people around seem to agree that's what's going on too. People will reject simple and obvious answers for way more convoluted shit that basically centers them personally, he's not a number and a data point. He's targeted. But not like in a schizo way.
