The best LTT video i have seen in a while; It has everything
- New and emerging experimental tech
- Showing off progress in opensource standards
- Nice Eli5 on what this is, why is it important, who are the stakeholders and what this means for the future
- Linux
- classic ltt humor and jank(they got euro truck simulator working on RISC-V running linux FFS)
- all nicely polished and presented.
Unfortunately by the time it took to get this video out the algorithm had already penalized them for missing their regular upload schedule as evidenced by such a low view count;
its a shame i really like their content(especially the newer videos which have a good coat of polish)
but it seems like they will either have to go back to their rapid upload schedule or come up with a new format that is commercially profitable and critically satisfactory.
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.
I understand that investigation takes time, however, I personally cannot support them until this issue is properly addressed. Once they addresses this, I believe people will likely go back.
In their apology video, they showed that people com by 8 and leaves by 6 (they didnt show th e parking situation at 5, so I am not sure how many people leave at 5). Even if they dont pay for lunch break, normal 8 hour work day is 8-5 or 9-6, this means they probably need to pay 1hour overtime pre-day? Accoding to https://www.canada.ca/en/services/jobs/workplace/federal-labour-standards/work-hours.html#h3.01.01, it seems like canada requires 1.5 payment for time over 8 hours per week (which is pretty low by international standard).
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.
