We are also doing unrelated mass firings, wherein my department, where no one is working because management sucks, is spared. It is technically a government agency founded by the national budget, but it's neoliberalism and NPM all the way down anyway. Oh well, work from home is Star Trek time.

BonHair posted:As someone who has done essentially two weeks of actual work since July, no, this doesn't work. Management have so little feeling with actual work that they just trust that hours equal work. i used to have regular staff meetings with my boss every other week so i could just keep her up to date with projects ive been working on We've had 1 staff meeting since March and the only time I hear from her now is when she messages me on teams cause she cant figure out how to re-map a network drive or something stupidly simple its pretty great

I once got a fortune cookie that said "ignore previous cookie" with the same blue marks around it. And I mean like, 15 years ago. Whoever uses the blue marks around the edge makes the best.

quote:Even goal setting, the ubiquitous motivational technique of managers everywhere, isn’t an undisputed boon. Fixating too vigorously on goals can distort an organization’s overall mission in a desperate effort to meet some overly narrow target, and research by several business-school professors suggests that employees consumed with goals are likelier to cut ethical corners.

During every hurricane we get some cato institute fuckwad blathering about how price gouging laws are so unfair and counterproductive because if we just let gas go to infinity dollars during an emergency it would incentivize people to buy armored trucks and drive gas into the disaster zones (presumably during the hurricane). So presumably in this case once the price goes high enough someone will be incentivized to load a bunch of electricity up into a truck and drive it into the blackout areas and plug it into the grid.

Free market extremists actually believe that someone will see electricity costing 5000x what it usually does during a disaster and they'll be ready next time with a secret extra stash of electricity to make their fortune from this gap in the market! Instead of actually happens which is ghouls gouging the gently caress out of people on stuff they just happened to have available by circumstance while the shortage continues unabated.

Except in this case all the peaker plants are frozen solid or idled because gas prices are too high and the economists are nodding sagely and saying "yes this is perfect, now someone will have an incentive to create an electricity arbitrage storage battery in which I can buy a preferred tranche if only THE GOD drat GOVERNMENT doesn't get in the way"

There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success. The fertile earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and the ripe fruit. And children dying of pellagra must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange.

Any choice other than "Strongly Disagree" indicates that the candidate cares about themselves somewhat. That's bad when the worker should be 100% focused on the customer.

In Yakima, WA a buddy and I went looking for a place to grab a bite to eat and asked a guy on the street who directed us to the local mission. Jokes on me though because now I can't find a job I don't hate. gently caress I miss that life
