At first I thought it said "snack" and the picture was him eating a bishop - both are funny!

I don't have a source but I've always heard it as "according to everything we know about aerodynamics bumblebees shouldn't be able to fly but they do anyway." People use it as motivation, or to justify ignoring proven science.

I'm glad to see it was ai translation hallucination, I appreciate you and others in the thread providing a much more accurate link.

That said, I wouldn't be shocked if MS was behind an easily debunked and inflammatory article like this one. Then when they release their actual unpopular plan, people may say "well that's not that bad compared to what that one article said they were doing."

That might very well be the first time I've ever seen a depiction of a chicken smoking a cigarette.

They'd just find a bullshit reason to let you go, then break more laws sharing disallowed details about your employment.

Sadly, in the US at least, the regulatory capture is complete. Any company acting like this (blatantly breaking labor laws and ignoring worker rights) knows they'll pay less than the cost of keeping the water cooler full in the off chance the labor board sends them more than a mildly worded letter.

Edit: I was feeling pretty pessimistic when I wrote this, I didn't intend it you come across as "don't try" but I can certainly see how it comes across that way. We should all be holding the companies and the regulatory agencies accountable, and not letting them get away with breaking laws. Enough people making enough noise can't be swept under the rug.

He doesn't bite and he doesn't squeal, he just runs around on his hamster wheel!
