I heard a stat that 73% of entry level jobs have gone away. And it makes me so angry, it is hard to articulate all the ways this is terrible. Obviously, for the people entering the workforce. It is short sighted for a business to not have a hiring and development strategy that allows them to pick up fresh talent. And it creates a problem in 15 or 20 years when we don’t have enough people with the right experience. shakes fist into air

Idiots can be out smarted and beaten in races. Maybe this is a self correcting problem. 🤞

Why do we charge less to torture animals than to eat plants?!? It makes no sense.

Feel like it’s real relevant in Washington State this week.

I really don’t like that phrase because leaders use it as a way to abdicate their responsibilities and pretend like the shitty environment they created is someone else’s fault. There are for sure shitty manager out there (and some people quit because of them), but I think the focus on management is a red harring distracting us from the shit show that is happening at the top. Let’s agree to be angry at the executives. 👍

Ok, your situation sounds earned.

But generally it goes both ways, you don’t think managers are jaded from being burned by shitty workers?

My point is that everyone, on all sides, could benefit from seeing each other as a bit more human.

Touche. People are generally pretty shitty - especially to each other.

IKR, hense my first comment.

Your assumption is that the manager is being paid and treated well by the company. I promise you they are not - they are getting heat from both their leadership and employees. The manager should absolutely have empathy for their employees (and never ask for help in this way), but the fact that you can’t even fathom what the manager is going through lacks of empathy just as much.

We recruit philosophy (and other liberal arts) majors because they can think well. The tech can be learned on the job.

Then general lack of empathy on both sides is astounding.

Yeah, my stomach hurts too…

Pop Tarts are super aggressive. In addition to being made of no natural foodstuffs, they are extremely flammable when in a toaster.

Aggressively casual. 😉

Maybe I been living under a rock, but what egregious crime do they think Faucci committed?

My favorite weird thing about American culture is that it is so aggressive. Aggressive food (PopTarts, Big Gulps, etc), aggressive games (football), aggressive national anthem (literally about war), and so on. We are an oddly aggressive people.

💯 They only voted for Trump so they can be openly racist.

My kid was born on my 33rd birthday and my have aged since. 😉

Feeding kids is an excellent idea. But in this situation it should be done in conjunction with the city itself, an outside partnership, or a levy to pay for it. The SPSD has been facing a chronic deficit for years - and all of the education is suffering as a result.

He’s fantastic!
