Translation: "Once all the hub-bub dies down we intend to as slowly as you'll allow, slip in monetization."

Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do. "Tattling" programs are quickly becoming a staple of any sort of logistical jobs. Companies will parade it around as if it keeps people safe, or it protects the honest employees. It's designed to give them reasons to get rid of you.

It's so dumb. Just let people rate it with the five stars. They're so gun-ho with the algorithm let it do its job.

Blocking means you can't see them. It makes them non existent to you. It doesn't hide you from them. It's working as intended.

I work in a hospital (not a nurse or medical staff) and you'd be fucking appalled by how common this is.

Unfortunately you're not the first person to have that thought. And from what little bit of research I did into it it seems that they would much rather just spend the money to buy you a plane ticket and send you home.

As a straight dude it just made me like bratty women.

Its partly tradition, power displays, and disbelief. People who've been managers for decades somehow believe that being in the office is the only true way to do work because that's how it's always been done. Then you have some managers who will always get off on the fact that they can hold people's ability to feed themselves hostage to make them do what they want. Lastly, some managers just don't believe you can be productive at home. After all, all the not work things are there.

I for sure would. Ryan Reynolds as a Bard being played by Gonzo.

Pretty sure only aristocrats dressed like that.

Then you don't know.

I love shrimp and lobster, man.

It's because Balatro and small indies that catch fire threaten the bloated dinosaurs that are the AAA franchises.

If you've ever wondered what day to day, mundane true love looks like; it looks like this.

People assume I'm my wife's older brother or friend. They often ask her if she wants her check separate from mine. It drives her insane. She makes a face and snaps "No, my HUSBAND and I are on the same check."

Any warning label you have ever seen exists because enough people did the thing being warned against that a lawyer said there needed to be a sign.

This is an actual event that occurred. While we were engaged for about a year my wife came to my work to drop off some coffee that she had gotten me. So I came from behind the counter took the coffee from her and gave her a quick peck on the lips you know just a quick kiss. And a lady that was coming up to my desk from there looked at that event and said "Oh is that your daughter?". Now we do live in a very rural part of the southeast United States and if you're familiar with the stereotypes involving that, that question was just creepy.

If that doesn't hit close to home.....

Afraid not.
