My manager once told me in a review that I needed to be more visible to leadership. I asked how. She said attend more meetings. I asked which ones. She said the ones where decisions are made. I asked how to get invited to those. She said by being more visible. I wrote the whole exchange in my notes. Showed it to my next manager at a different company during my first week. He laughed and said that was the most corporate thing he had ever heard.
stop saying marijuana is a gateway drug, and start admitting you have/had unresolved issues that made you seek out hard drugs. Never ever in my life have I smoked weed and thought “let me try heroine. let me try cocaine. let me try coke. let me try meth” NEVER
Banks close at 4 pm. Appointments run from 9-5. Shops open from 9-5. I work 9-5 in an office. Everyone is only available when I'm not. I can't go to your shop, the bank, or book anything without taking time off work.
Why did we design society like this ??
a critical moment for us media. this is exactly what happened in turkey with erdogans initial rise to power. regime loyalists bought up all the private media outlets.
Wasn't it supposed to be a 9-5?
6:00 - alarm goes off
6:40 - leave your house
7:00 - lifeless commute
8:00 - the pretending begins
12:30 - lunch in front of screen
1:00 - pretending to care continues
5:00 - lifeless commute 2.0
6:20 - enter your house
6:45 - finally sit down
7:00 - too tired for anything at home
I don't count 9-5.
I count 6-7.
That's 13 hours, not 8.
A coworker once got transferred to a different team as "punishment" for raising concerns about a project. The new team was better. The manager was better. The work was more interesting. She got promoted 7 months later. The original manager is still in the same role. Sometimes the punishment is actually the exit you needed.
Ya'll remember when the US set up a coup operation and kidnapped the President of Venezuela and his wife, stole a shit ton of oil, and then put the money in an offshore account, or have y'all already forgotten with all the other dystopian shit distractions???
If you want to ruin your own day like I just did listen to this song imagining it’s from the point of view of your dog finding you again for the first time on the rainbow bridge
AND SUDDENLY YOU'RE 26-27 SITTING ALONE IN YOUR ROOM, PARENTS ARE OLD, YOUR SIBLINGS ARE MARRIED AND BUSY WITH THEIR OWN FAMILIES AND THERE'S NO ONE YOU CAN TALK TO AND NO ONE CHECKS ON YOU.
WHAT IS IT CALLED — LONELINESS OR FREEDOM. WHATEVER IT IS, IT IS HEAVY.
So maga are all over Hunter Biden because of his past addiction, but take medical advice from a guy who was a heroin addict for 14 years with a dead worm in his brain.
When you walk into an HR office to complain about a toxic, abusive, or unethical manager, you think you are filing a grievance to get help. But that is not how HR processes the information. The moment you complain, HR does not see a victim-they see a legal and financial liability.
