But she ended up on the wrong end of the PR stick so the other psychopaths dropped her. If you think she wasn't getting poo poo from higher ups about staff attendance then you've never worked in management. I'm other words, porque no le dos?

Prisoners are hosed. No one will help them. They have no recourse. They cannot so much as "vote their way to change". Five inmates have died firefighting since the program was started in the 1940s.

I've seen this chart so many times and I love it so much, like they clearly got to something like 30 hours and went "oh gently caress oh gently caress this looks terrible we need to add more poo poo... uhh... exercise? that counts as work right, ok good... personal appointments? yeah sure put that too..."

Expunge all criminal records from all non-judge view the same day that a term is completed. If they're reformed, then the record shouldn't haunt them. If they're not reformed, then the system failed and they shouldn't be out in the first place

Im at a 'lab' to help startups and one guys idea is to create an AI for children with illnesses to act as a counselor. I guess kind of like those apps that text you/develop around your personality. idk it seems hosed to me, like if my kid is dying im going to talk to them myself, and also get a human counselor. but you dont need to pay robots i guess

When we have civilian bigwigs come work with us our lunchtimes immediately go from 1230-1300 to 1100 -1300 (actually leaving at 1030).

When I was a teen I had a job at a Burger King and the GM was a real loving tool. Since I was in high school I signed up for nights. Well 1 day into spring break I get a call at 9am from said manager wanting to know why I wasn't at work. I told him I don't work mornings, only nights. He then told me that since it was spring break, we added me to the day shift so that I could "learn more about the restaurant" and that I "should always look at the full schedule no matter what". I had to bum a ride off of one oh my dad's friends. A few months later I had to call sick on a Saturday because my grand father was in the hospital and not expected to make it. When I called and spoke to the manger he told me that I had to come in and if I didn't I would be "off the schedule permanently". I laughed and hug up the phone. gently caress you Dennis. I hope you worked a double that night. This one is about Sirius radio. I got laid off back in '07 and immediately started eliminating all non essential expenses. So I call the customer service line and explain that I like the service, but I've been laid off and need to conserve cash. ME: Yes, I need to cancel because I'm not out of work and need to save money. THEM: Well what if we have you 25% off for 6 months? ME: No. You see, I don't even know if I can pay my mortgage past next month. THEM: Well....have about 50% off for 3 months? ME: Yeah...like I said, I'm broke and may loose my house. Please cancel this. THEM: How about a free radio and 75% for 2 months? ME: WTF.?? can you cancel this or not? THEM: Oh ok. We suspend your account in case you was to activate it again soon!

Someone I know at work had to advertise an app that let you, once a day, to request good vibes from other users and the rest of the time youd click a button to send out positive feelings. This was all represented by glowing lights, no text or words or anything. The company pushing it was surprised nobody used it.

In the early 00's, Berlin's tagline was "arm und sexy", poor and sexy. Not sure what it is today, but that tagline was seen as kind of cool for a long time.

I guess kind of like those apps that text you/develop around your personality. The kid is dying. You're going to allocate valuable time yourself? Why? It's a sunk cost. Outsource the caring to an app and work allocate your time (the most valuable resource) to something worthwhile.

The starving artist has been capitalized When I was in business school about half of the people enrolled were "starving artists" who wanted to start their own marketing or PR firms. Many went on to work for the usual big marketing firms who try to get every business account they can get. It's not surprising that a lot of newer ads are glorifying being the starving artist. The other half were people who went on to work for their dad's accounting / investment firm. They hated the starving artists and anyone who wanted to change the system.

I'm willing to bet money that "working alone" was reading news or playing with a phone while sitting in the office. I find it hilarious how often it turns out that "doing something when another executive is near" counts as work by default. No that trip was totally for business! I talked to a bunch of other CEOs. The fact that it was on a beach with hookers and cocaine is just a perk of the position, you know. Because I'm cynical I'm going to assume that a lot of the conference calls are just bitching at underlings that the numbers aren't good enough.

Speaking of, it's super loving weird that the worst mass shooting in modern US history basically fell under the news radar after like, 2 days, and I haven't heard it mentioned in months (until this bullshit). Like I can't even write it off as just america becoming accustomed to the new normal because other ones (Pulse, basically anything involving highschool kids) get brought up pretty often, yet not this one
