[TW Sexual Harassment] - 🧵Yesterday I flew @SaudiAirlinesEn to Chennai from Jeddah (connecting at JED from LAX). I had a window seat on this leg to MAA and was traveling solo. In the last hour of my flight to MAA, I felt something rub against the side of my left breast.

We were in the car after a long day, both of us exhausted. He was on the phone with a friend through the speakers, and they were talking about life, work, stress… all of it.

At one point his friend joked, “Man, marriage must be tiring.”

Without even thinking, he said, “Nah. Marriage isn’t tiring. Life is tiring. My wife is the part that makes it worth it.”

I froze in the passenger seat.
He kept driving like he didn’t just shift my entire world with one sentence.

Later that night I asked him if he really meant it.
He looked at me confused and said,
“Of course. You’re not my responsibility. You’re my reward.”

And I swear, in a world where people talk about marriage like it’s a burden…
He talks about it like he won the lottery.

And that’s all the reassurance I’ll ever need.

Leaving a toxic workplace is a weird feeling… like you’re relieved you’ve finally left, but also annoyed that a perfectly good job has been unnecessarily ruined by a few people creating a horrible work culture.

[Simons @Simon_Ingari]

Have you ever noticed that the worst people keep getting promoted?

You’re sitting in a meeting thinking, How is this person in charge?
That’s not bad luck. That’s a system working exactly as intended.

Here’s the truth:
A lot of workplaces don’t promote the most capable people; they promote the least threatening ones.

The people who move up fastest aren’t always driving results.
They are the ones who keep leadership comfortable.

- They don’t challenge decisions.
- They don’t surface problems too clearly.
- They make things feel calm, even when nothing is actually improving.

Real competence creates friction.
When you are genuinely good at your job, you expose gaps, weak processes, bad decisions, and poor leadership.

And that makes people above you uncomfortable.
So instead of developing strong leaders, many organizations quietly sideline them.

What gets rewarded instead is loyalty, predictability, and the ability to manage optics.

Once that pattern starts, every layer protects the one above it.
Promotions stop being about skill and start being about safety.

And over time, the people doing the real work either burn out from carrying everyone else or they leave.

- That’s how mediocrity becomes a culture.
- That’s why leadership can feel hollow.
- And that’s why, when you look around and wonder why so many managers seem unqualified, the answer isn’t random.

It’s structural.
They didn’t fail upward by accident.
They were rewarded for not rocking the boat.

Leaving a toxic job feels great.
But watching that job slowly realize it now takes several people to do what you did alone feels even better.

As an ex Amazonian, can confirm this here is the most accurate blow by blow description of Amazon culture.
And after all this, once a quarter, a VP will write an email -
Dear Team,
It’s always Day 1 and <leadership principle > <leadership principle > <leadership principle > and we need <leadership principle > <leadership principle > <leadership principle > and thanks to our organisation restructuring <leadership principle > <leadership principle > we can now help thousands of customers <leadership principle > <leadership principle >. It’s always day 1!

Seeking help from collectors, archivists & Indic art historians.

This is an old Kuladevi Narayani (Durga) lithograph from our family shrine. The print is deteriorating and we are trying to trace the original / a similar surviving copy for preservation and restoration.

If anyone recognises the press, period or has seen this image before, even leads would help.

RTs appreciated. 🙏

So @Ryanair your agent in Belfast International airport is refusing to allow me to fly to Malaga (without additional charge) with this bag even though I've already paid for it and priority boarding.

New DGCA rule gives pilots 12 extra hours rest per week and it gave airlines 18 months’ notice to add pilots.

Air India hired 500+ pilots in advance. IndiGo, a 60% market share giant hired almost none! Now airports are in chaos.

This mess is entirely IndiGo’s own making. GOI must take strict action.
