Perpetual Guardian is a 250-person New Zealand investment company
specialized in trusts, wills and estate planning; this March and April,
the company experimented with a four-day work-week, and based on
independent academic assessment of the program, they’ve decided to make
it permanent.
The trial was prompted by the company founder’s observation that workers
were struggling to balance work and family commitments; this was borne
out by academic assessment prior to the experiment, which found that
only 54% of the staff felt they were managing to balance work and
family. After the experiment, the figure was 78% (job satisfaction also
rose).
The company reported no drop in productivity and has moved to make the
program permanent, but not mandatory. Employees who opt for a five-day
work-week will be able to work flexible, traffic-beating hours that will
also accommodate childcare logistics.
i kinda like to think he’d go looking for signs of your team’s explorations like. records of your accomplishments, lil messages you left for him in the dungeons you’d both see, or maybe any of the recruited team members.
in my current post game i’m an eevee and my partner is a vulpix and i just. i like to think about celebi sending him back Just Far enough to find my partner as like. an old ninetales having been entrusted to guard one of the time gears, y’know? kind of like ninetales in the first games. there’s something to be said about alternate dimensions, but. i like to think abt grovyle meeting old team members— one of my favorite recruits is this dratini and i just. imagine him hearing about this dragonite with a very familiar bow
whoever’s reading this, i pray that you find happiness. not temporary happiness, or “if i pretend and put on a smile & laugh, maybe i’ll be happy” kind of happiness, but long lasting real happiness. the kind of happiness that makes ur face glow & lights up ur soul. you deserve it
Btw, I know some of you are like ‘oh but I have nothing to worry about!’ but a couple of things about that:
1) I’ve had my completely innocent 100% sfw videogame screenshots flagged as nsfw by the autofilter. You know, the one they’re saying is going to handle this. I’m talking landscapes, no people in the shots. You’re not as safe from the purge as you think, even with a tiddy free blog.
2) This has historically only been the first step in fandom purges. More quite likely to follow. I know a lot of you are too young to really know what went down the FFN and Livejournal, but this is uuuusually the first step of many on wankery.
