All that lead didn’t do him any harm, after all.

It feels like the only long term bets being made are for more cash. We have money. What we need is science, culture, and fucking HOPE.

“to make sure they’re working”

A boss’ job is not to babysit. Keep the higher ups off the team’s backs, run the management infrastructure needed for stuff like project planning, stuff like that. I am not at my desk for my whole work day. However not once has anyone been less than very pleased with my output. More time at my desk would not mean more work - it would mean less. The recharge time I take means that I almost universally have a good attitude at work and I’m good at untangling problems that others either can’t deal with or are avoiding dealing with.

Forcing presenteeism rather than a results-based approach is utterly idiotic.

I loved all three of those. I even liked the Dead Like Me movie and read the Jericho comics.

This right here.

I think I was trying to suggest something about the duality of man, sir.

Mobile-first seems to be the future 🤢

I’d say he’s the opposite of teflon - he’s so fundamentally dirty that it’s impossible to make him worse than he already is. If who he is doesn’t move the needle then nothing else will make the difference.

I’ve no doubt it happens. My point was that it’s a terrible in so many ways. It’s such a simplistic approach to work - more hours doesn’t scale. It’s a great way to damage a company’s workforce and ruin people’s lives at the same time. Synergy!

From the “no shit” news desk, eh?

I think I prefer my horror stories to have monsters in them.

Can anyone handle a 60 hour work week? That’s insane.

Excellent. Sometimes I’d use the option for my work machine on a Friday only to find the fucking thing had rebooted instead.

Let’s see if it behaves when I do it in an hour or two.

I hope something healthier can eventually emerge. It’s awful that so many people are affected by the situation.

Unless it’s a referendum, apparently.

I’ll take them over the worse evil but that’s not a situation I’m happy with.

Fucking neoliberal arseholes.

I’d be much happier if the US could get its shit together rather than doubling down on fascism. It’s a horror show.

The US is a failed state.

I use Lawnchair for that.

That’s a fair point, now you mention it.
