If you're a social and relatively smart person (or just take the minimum requirements) high school is probably really fun and easy. If you aren't social high school is either a job or a prison.

If you liked high school more than adult life then you probably peaked in high school.

They're outraged because she was arrested, not because she was there.

Much better source

I think most people aren't going to be moved or convinced by that source. I would recommend finding something a bit more substantial.

I can't speak for the mechanics of any game you've played as the GM can change these things, but most people don't treat Good and Evil as being so simple. Most games I've been in treat evil as varying degrees of selfishness while good is selflessness. The landlord that mercilessly squeezes the tenants for an extra nickel would probably be evil, maybe not as evil as a vampire who kills to sustain their immortality, but still evil. Just because someone is evil doesn't mean they deserve death, we don't execute thieves in the real world.

A magic weapon or spell that can only harm evil people doesn't mean that you can nonchalantly use it. If you used holy word in the middle of a crowd and killed 30 people who were just shitty people you'd be evil as well. The same goes for using the sword, if you go around stabbing people to see if they are evil it would make you evil.

Not sure how you'd use the sword to detect evil people without the stabbing part, what are you gonna do, tap them with the pommel and see if they felt anything?

That's what he's saying, the spell can't discern between the mass murderer and the lowly thief, the user of that spell should have the restraint to not jump straight murder. Not all evil beings deserve death.

Yeah I said the same, but he was pretty pumped for it. Apparently it's not so bad when you get out of the apprentice phase, but this is one of the concessions that their union makes. Essentially, the job has to get done by the deadline. The pros of it is that they have better benefits than government workers (his wife is a teacher), as an apprentice he was making $80k/year in 2019, and they were paying for him to go to night school for certifications (and giving him the time to do so).

I'm not sure on the classifications of work, but the kinds of jobs they did were things Amazon warehouses.

Totally agree, if that's the case it's an excellent reason to be asleep or miss the meeting. If this is the case the manager should also know this and not be surprised. This also goes back to my other point of why do they fucking care, it's a contractor. Just let the contract run out, add this to the next contract and put it out to bid.

This is pretty representative of my area as well. The thing that is weird for me is that they priced it at 40 hrs per week. A friend of mine was an Electrician Apprentice and he worked 21 days in a row 10 hrs per day and he's in a union.

Yeah I kind of agree, but it's hard to say anything without a lot more context. I think daily meetings for staff isn't a bad idea as long as you keep it to the point, projects can develop daily and it's a good way to keep things on track. Having meetings doesn't mean you're micromanaging. At an old job of mine we had weekly start of week meetings about our plans for the week. These meetings weren't from management, in fact we had to pull management into the meetings because we had stuff to discuss and needed input and approvals.

Also, not sure what sort of position it is, but I am surprised they said they were sleeping at 9. Everyone lives different lives and I know some jobs have different needs. I frequently login or arrive at work at 9, but I'm not sleeping at 9. I'm not hating on sleeping at 9, but if everyone else is working at 9 I'd wonder if this person is a good match for our work environment. Typically a stand up meeting means it's either in person or call in from the field, if this is an entirely work from home position than fuck it let them do what the want as long as deadlines are met.

Finally, why does this manager fucking care? It's a contractor, contractors are the lowest rung on the totem pole. Give them all the work they are required to do, if they don't finish it then follow the contract. If you don't like them, or they don't fit, or their contract needs renegotiation, or literally anything else just don't renew the contract. You hire contractors so you don't have to keep them. Being a contractor has the kinds of perks you see here, but you also have a ton of downsides.

You...didn't get the joke at all.

Ewww, hope that was a joke
