Imagine being a twitter user.
My employer has been intentionally creating a toxic workplace to drive attrition. Several upper managers have said the quiet part out loud in candid AMAs with staff. The top management still sends out uncanny valley soulless-smile emails saying RTO is better for everyone, but it’s another excuse to drive layoffs based on location and proximity to an office. I do not interact with a single individual outside of Teams/Zoom on any given day. I honestly think the execs are looting the coffers before the company tanks like investment bankers did to Toys R Us and now Red Lobster. They can make a ton of money and move on to the next ripe fruit.
I’ve seen a sudden upsurge of promoted videos in the last week or two championing trickle-down economics in my youtube suggested video feed. I thought it was odd. They don’t use the term trickle-down economics, but they promote the rich as job creators and use all the Reagan talking points. Based on the comments, lots of people are eating it up as amazing insight.
Some companies are doing it to create a hostile workplace to increase attrition. If an employee quits, they don’t have to pay unemployment or severance. Other companies have huge investments in corporate real estate. They have been sitting on short-term loans that are coming due. The property owners are keeping their real-estate values artificially high, but to one wants to rent/lease them, so they aren’t as valuable as in practice as they look on paper. Some companies get tax breaks from cities to put their offices there and will not continue to reap those rewards if their workers are not coming into the city. Don’t let them gaslight you about culture or face time because that has all been debunked. A lot of remote workers are coming in to the office and sitting on Zoom/Teams calls in their cubicles.
If only they could issue a stern warning, too! I’m sure he’ll stop once he realizes he made a legal faux pas!
Watch Alita Battle Angel or Elysium.

This is how you deal with a malignant narcissist.
No it didn’t.
It’s bad to take the fiber out of sugar bombs? Who knew?
I approve this.

I tend to hyperfocus on things I can control and/or try to learn a new skill. Both are distractions, but you can’t control what you can’t control. Obsessing over those things leads to dark places. Sometimes, mental judo helps. You can reframe a situation that seems terrible by looking at it from another context. Unfortunately, it’s hard to give examples for this.
I have typo’d hotfix as both hotdix and hotfux. One letter can change everything.
Is this why grandma has an OnlyFans?
I’m a liberal progressive GenXer and my workplace is full of MAGA millenials. I thought I would be OK when the boomers started to die off from heart disease, but here we are.
No. I usually have to wrap mine around my forearm a dozen or so times to keep it out of the water.
Well, buttflapper…
Capitalism filters sociopaths to the top. It’s a feature, not a bug. It has always been this way. Read about Henry Ford and JD Rockefeller, John Kellog. The list goes on.
