I judge an establishment almost exclusively by the manner in which it attempts to ration my paper towel consumption

The part that I hate most is having to reconcile that for the next four years this asshole is going to find ways to benefit me as an older white male while simultaneously destroying me as a human.

Implementing a change freeze is an excellent way to identify the areas of your system that require regular change to stay healthy.

[Sean T. Klein @stklein]

Protip: A change freeze is a type of change.

@SwiftOnSecurity I've found these to be helpful in that regard. They don't remind you to take the pill. They just remind you if you already have or not.

@__apf__ My 'for you' feed now appears to be full of accounts that I specifically unfollowed and accounts that follow those accounts. It's unusable.

[Sean T. Klein @stklein]

It reminds me of the time, around 2005-ish when I was working for the federal government, and they banned chat/IM tools - not because of security risk - but because "devs were spending too much time chatting and not coding."

THIS IS HOW WORK IS DONE NOW PEOPLE

Mandating RTO because "effective collaboration can only happen in-person" is such an embarrassing self-own for leadership in 2024. If you can't manage a remote or hybrid team in this era, what are you even doing managing people or a business to begin with?

[Sean T. Klein @stklein]

If your effectiveness as a leader is 100% coupled with the physical location of your employees, why should I trust you as a leader? If you are ineffective at leading remote workers, why is that a workers' problem and not a leadership failure?

Announcing the creation of a "Bureaucracy Mailbox" to help identify "unnecessary and excessive process and rules" in the same memo that announces the Return-to-Office mandate.

Chef kiss. no notes. It's perfect.

“'We want to operate like the world’s largest startup,' Jassy wrote."

Yes, yes...startups are famous for their strict policies governing the physical location in which their employees are allowed to be productive. 🤣

The first two turned out to be utter bullshit.

So was the third until for some fucked up reason we created social media to make it real.

A salad bar sneeze guard but if people over 3 feet tall existed.

I've had some time to think about it and I would totally download a car.

@norootcause If we didn't have counterfactuals then none of this would have happened!

There is a restaurant in Yakima, Washington called New York Teriyaki that sells sushi and has a 4.8 rating. I have not yet decided how this information is going to effect my evening.

@JenMsft Counterpoint: instead of stressing about the task just try to force yourself to unplug and relax and now you've failed at TWO things!

@SwiftOnSecurity No idea but get ready for endless spam that somehow evades all modern inbox filters.
