Worth noting that the two CEOs who worked their way up were engineers. One was an EE who had absolutely no business acumen and so we made great products but tanked the company, and the other was a software engineer who also had a business degree and CTO experience and did a pretty good job overall.

I think of CEOs as being like music or sports superstars: they need to be good at what they do AND be in the right place at the right time. And just like those other categories, “good at what they do” doesn’t always mean quite what you may think it should.
I did that years ago; makes no difference.
If they’re sending political messages, the number is already confirmed as matching a PA voter. Texting STOP is the way to go. If that doesn’t work, THEN mark as spam. If it gets too annoying, set up a wall of shame on Twitter. (Almost) No politician wants bad publicity.
CEOs tend to be people who have worked their way up through large organizations, unlike billionaire entrepreneurs or hedge fund managers.
I’ve worked under 9 CEOs at companies from very small to very large multinational. Of those, a grand total of TWO worked their way up; the rest all had business degrees and buddy connections and no actual experience working FOR a company. Most were hired via the buddy network because of their history of navigating stock exchanges.
When I was doing shift work, I used to just call in sick if I was sick, and the supervisor called up someone else to cover. I was generally the first responder to pick up other people’s shifts, so nobody complained.
Now I have a certain number of sick days per year, and anything over that comes off holiday pay or would go onto long term disability, which would require a doctor’s note, but is significantly more serious than a sick day.
Have I been missing out on a third option all these years where a doctor can write me a note and my work is put on hold until I’m better without accruing sick leave days?
I have to say… in this climate, all those in that second link have real guts to stand and be listed to serve the public that may literally turn around and stab them in the back.
You are better people than me.
This is a weird one to me; in my entire life, I have never been in a situation where a doctor’s note was required. Makes me feel like I’m on the advantaged side of a double standard in our society.
Has anyone else ever needed an actual doctor’s note for something?
Too bad they get the ads instead of the cash.
This season must be very lucrative for those who make political ads.
I disagree with the disagreement; there’s a rich history of Presidents attempting to do legally unsound things. Usually it’s up to their advisors, who have traditionally been experts in their areas of executive governance, to steer the President correctly.
Trump has changed things by appointing sycophants as his advisors instead of experts. So the office is essentially a formalization of what most Presidents did as the obvious course of action.
In the rare cases where mayo is the correct answer… it’s not that difficult to just whip up a small amount and use it. No need to have a big jar of it going rancid in your fridge.
