The extra L stands for leadership.

This kinda shit is one of the smaller reasons we all cheered on Luigi.
Luigi is a ‘big hammer’ solution and
- it didn’t make a real difference
- getting to where ‘small hammers’ will fix the issue seems so far off
We have so far to go, and farther by the day.
One Luigi will never make a difference.
That’s just a small hammer too.

That time was super short, happened only in a few selected countries and is an anomaly blip in the history of the world. And even if you think that your life is noticeably worse today, you’re still far far better off than the majority of the population today and throughout history.
As for why this time has ended: humans have a need to live in a need. Otherwise they become bored and destroy everything they have. Again, that state of life is not normal, humans cannot live like that, we’re not adapted to such conditions.

What does Europe have to do with anything? Indigenous people were living in Europe until the Homo Sapiens invaded.
Ahaha, right!
I’d rather starve than return to office more than once a week
CEO: Working in office is good Also CEO: Hiring offshore is also good

Silly domestic remote employees want a livable wage and are less tolerant to being paid less because they don’t live in an overpriced area.
😂🤣😂
That’s weird. It’s almost like they don’t actually care about “incentive structure”, “attracting top talent”, “work/life balance”, “team cohesion”, etc. But they wouldn’t prioritize exploiting workers by seeing who they can control the most for the least amount of pay, would they??
This definitely meets the Lunatic level.
“makes me want to run through a wall” is an interesting way to say you are turgid
What a fucknut
Dude looks like he is 12 in his pic, wtf

I’ve managed people in India before - not to save money but to handle overnight tickets - and to me they work too hard.
One of my reports was affected by some pretty significant flooding and asked if maybe they could have a day off.
I told them to not worry about work until their house was no longer filled with mud and water.
Your adequacy is stand-out in our time. Keep that wonderful prioritization and don’t let the machine change you.

Nice job dude. How did your wife take it after they fired you for being human?
I wasn’t fired. I just stopped being a manager. The worst part is all the other managers.
Yup, my VP laid my coworker off after she announced she was pregnant.
A week later I announced my wife was pregnant and they laid me off.

After a while, you feel sorta numb to corporate America.
And as a manager I’d have to sit in a meeting with those assholes and not punch them in the face.
When my VP laid me off, she was on her phone texting someone. She’s going to be a CEO one day.
Middle management killed my soul. I refused to extract every last drop of productivity from my reports. I did everything I could possibly do for them, but I couldn’t make things right for them. (I advocated for raises, promotions, increased staffing, and more frequent breaks.)
Under my management, my team was more productive than they were with other leadership. (Both the numbers and the customers agreed.) My managers said it was great, but then would complain when they saw them not working 100% of the time. (This was “wasteful.”)
The other middle managers were willing to do what I wouldn’t. Upper management would pass me over for promotions, for the middle managers that were willing to be lackeys that would grind up our staff for the good of profit. My mistake was that I wanted to provide great service and treat my staff like the competent professionals they were. The real vision was to provide the bare minimum, find creative ways to fleece the customers, and do it all by whatever means necessary.
I’ve been there. I am much happier not in management. I hope you’re doing well.

I would also do this to my wife if she stood up for humanity. I might even marry her again.

Because it’s so important that you physically sit here in the office, we’re replacing you with people on the other side of the planet.
Bonus points if your company mandates return to office, lays off people after they return to office, and then builds a nice new office overseas in a completely opposite timezone to fill with replacements. Then make the people there physically sit in that brand new office… and make them report to the people here.
The job? Data entry.
I just… I don’t… Why…
Something something a lot of people falling for talking points put forward by people invested in commercial real estate because if companies start going fully remote the value of commercial real estate will collapse. Combine that with a mix of people who own these companies also being invested in commercial real estate so it’s self serving and companies just in general wanting to have more control over employees.
Yeah, we need more of the “I’m so desperate I have to keep working even though my town is being shelled” mentality here in the United States of Freedom! That’s the dream our forefathers fought for!
