@witchfynder_finder i’m sure a union could negotiate this sort of thing as part of a contract 😏

@witchfynder_finder if a company wanted to man their phones on the weekend or outside of work hours it’s easy, just make those hours work double

@witchfynder_finder @KitRedgrave « 'None of the girls has got one,' said Bao-yu, his face streaming with tears and sobbing hysterically. 'Only I have got one. It always upsets me.

@aescling "assume that" is just a long form of "assume"; cf. "assume that it be the case that"

@aescling or “assume it be the case that” etc

plain “it be that” operates pretty much entirely to create the subjunctive mood with no trimmings and i think most english speakers today would just drop it if it didn't have anything else to add

@aescling my guess is that “assume the arrangement be [such] that” is more common than a plain “it” but

@aescling if the usage is grammatical and you made it then it is attested by you :P
