Those were in order (it was 15 years ago so i don't recall if all existed but at least some did). Probably ip range but who knows

I hosted my own for a while. We could never send to gmail though and they are saddly too important.

Celsius is defined at the arbitrary standard pressure, different pressure values change how water acts (this is very noticeable at 100C - boiling). Kelvin steps are defined from Celsius. Even the speed of light which is constant is still defined in terms of an arbitrary time unit.

Your experience is different than mine then. I suggest you get out and find other places where management isn't so bad.

I've worked in a number of places. Some better managed than others. The fact that I see this variation is why union "management is always bad" talking points just turn me off.

Why would they? When someone doesn't treat me with respect I don't deal with them. \

Now when that someone is the only supplier or something like that once in a while I'm forced to. However I still minimize my dealings and actively look for alternatives. There are plenty of options for Ukraine and they can do very well with a second best option.

What I don't understand is why you don't see the obvious downsides of unions. The small cost to my paycheck is nothing. However the focus on seniority over objective who is better at their job, and refusing to allow tracking metrics (I legally probably shouldn't even say that much about the contract I'm thinking of: to those who want evidence I'm not allowed to give it) about he is better has always bothered me.

The union is not the only thing standing between me and the CEO. I can find a new job. I have done it before. Overall I find my company treats me well - not perfect, but better than other places I've worked. My power to walk away and find a new job gives me a lot more power than the union would. (in fact in many unions I'd have less power because then I'd be required to work only for that union and so if the union has a mod boss I can't do anything about it)

I am not legally a professional engineer. However I do have a degree from my universities school of engineering. I could go through the paperwork to get that professional engineer certification, it just hasn't been a useful thing for me to do. (professional engineer doesn't really cover computer science topics even though my code can kill just as much as a bridge collapsing could kill)

I've been in offices where I was told look for the union guy before plugging my network cable, don't do it when he was looking.

There is a constant stream of hate on corporate management here, most of it without any evidence given. I want some evidence in return. Not that it exists, but that it is anywhere near as bad as people are saying.

People talk about it and complain. there was and is debate on all those topics. You have lost in all the topics you are talking about, but it was fair and square.
