It’s also legal in British Columbia, Canada and it has been since 2000

If the law firm bungled the investigation, it would affect their reputation and future business. Wouldn’t that mean they have a monetary incentive not to favor LMG in their investigation?

It’s time and a half over 8 hours, double time over 12. A normal 8 hour work day would actually be 8:30-5pm or 9-5:30pm with an unpaid lunch break. Normally I wouldn’t be so pedantic, but it pushes things a bit closer to the 6pm mark. 

It’s been a while since I’ve seen our apology video, and I’m NOT arguing that it is without problems, but I’m not sure this is one of them (though I’m just a writer). We’re allowed to arrive anywhere between 8:30 and 9:30 without being considered late (so that would be 9:30-6pm), and sometimes people come in late because things out of their control happen (like traffic), and they make that up. Also, we can usually “pause” our shifts in the middle if we need to do something, like go to an appointment or something. 

For example, since TL/GL requires making an entire video in one day, I take a split shift whenever I’m main writer.  I head home right after filming and hang out until the edit is done.  That way, I have enough time left in my work day to remotely review the edit and post the video to all relevant platforms. 

 Also, there’s a gaming lounge and we have lounge nights every other week, so sometimes people stay behind for that.  But sometimes (rarely) I have done overtime but it’s like 30 minutes at the most. But I can only speak for myself, of course.

They haven’t released the investigation results because they aren’t finished the investigation. And that’s a good thing because it means it’s not being half-assed. Remember that they need to hire a third-party, have that third party interview EVERYONE involved (while those people are working, so that’s not exactly easy), go through records, etc. There’s a lot to do.

What are your issues with the overtime pay? From my experience, it’s standard if not better.

Are you seriously claiming that we’re done with equality in the workplace

Can you make a point without a straw man? I said nothing of the sort.

And I don’t disagree with your point about daycare; I think people need options, but I disagree with your point about online relationships being dopamine-equivalent to “real” relationships, personally. I’d LOVE to have a family but I have neither the space nor the money to have kids.

Personally I think communal child raising should be more normalized; I think children experiencing many different and at times contradictory viewpoints is good for their development of critical thinking. But I don’t presume to fully know the solution to lose birth rates. I DO however claim that whatever financial incentives are being given, they aren’t enough.

And realistically today, advocating for a stay at home parent is telling women to go back to the kitchen. It’s regressive, unnecessary, and not actionable advice.

No, what YOU said is regressive. The commenter never mentioned women; men can just as easily be house spouses, and that’s also without mentioning non-binary partners. You just assumed they meant women and ran with it

Edit: grammar

We’ve changed podcast providers; hopefully this means GameLinked will be available on Apple Podcasts as intended

Maybe invite your cigarette outside for espresso und watch the street life

This is a very good question; while I’ve personally posted TL and GL episodes to Spotify when I’m the main writer, Riley and I haven’t discussed other podcast platforms. I suppose it wouldn’t hurt for me to ask.
