Cool. That takes a lot of skills at once.

The people doing (or ordering) the hiring don’t want to be bothered with “low level” problems, so they want leaders that can deal with them. That’s why middle management exists. Of course, that creates problems of its own, but business are dumb.

The fact that you care at all tells me that you’re probably a decent person. Narcissists and sociopaths generally don’t give a shit about the opinions of others.

This may be foolish advice (like telling someone with clinical depression to “just cheer up”) but try not to overthink it.

This article contains potentially lethal amounts of sarcasm. I love it.

Do these people not understand that algae tends to grow in water unless the water is treated? For most previous administrations, this would be a rhetorical question, but in this case I’m honestly not sure.

That makes early detection even more important!

I work retail in the US. It’s not just some meaningless “policy”; it’s drilled into us that we shouldn’t obstruct a suspected shoplifter, confront them, or even politely ask if they have a receipt. People who try to intervene are putting themselves and others at a bigger risk than they realize. What she did was a MAJOR no-no.

Companies have decided that the loss of profits from shoplifting are negligible compared to the risk of a lawsuit or worker’s comp due to an injury. Plus, for all I know, the shoplifter has a weapon and/or untreated mental disorders. I am neither qualified nor paid to deal with that.

If she made a decision this poor and reckless, I think it’s safe to assume that she has made other terrible decisions in the past and would make more in the future. I’d like to know how her coworkers feel about the situation.

 

I was expecting it to be just another post-apocalyptic drama, and I’ve seen so many mediocre ones that Station 11 wasn’t high on my list. I was very wrong.

Station 11 was well written, well cast, and interesting (if confusing at times).

 

Just about everyone looks better when they smile. It’s true regardless of gender. I don’t see where sexism enters the equation.

I feel pretty oblivious. What am I missing?

 

Is it because of the instance they’re posting from, some kind of “award”, or what?
