Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Yeah I suppose that depends on the outfit. Maybe you need a minimum of goodwill and strategic alignment from those around you.

At least you'll get quality references from quality people over time. When I was laid off I had a tonne of heat references and contacts to help me out because they knew who I was based on how I acted when we worked together.
