God this is too real. One place I worked loved to pick odd company wide metrics too. Instead of just like “profit”, 50% of our bonus would be determined by how low a % held stock was against revenue, globally… I worked in marketing. Needless to say the “bonus” did not motivate anyone.
That is a chicken.
That is my brain on drugs.

Q.E.D.
These folks seem to have a different understanding than you.
Specifically:
Since as many as 10 percent of the lowest-wage workers leave or start jobs every month, any decrease in the number of full-time equivalent jobs will mean that some workers will take more time finding a new job, or will work fewer hours. But many of these workers may still see their annual earnings rise because of their wage increase.
Summer Glau: Am I a joke to you?
Yup, you don’t need poison. Just sprinkle some miniaturized union pamphlets on the infestation and the colony will collapse in few weeks. Of course you risk a new infestation of ants with free time, safety regulations, and disposable income.
I’ve heard that if you close your eyes, hold out a £5 note and say her name three times it turns into a Zimbabwean dollar.
Get in my belly…
Ah, the majestic gas giant…
(It’s not, it’s an ice giant, but juvenile humor ftw)
After she went bird hunting.
That’s a coherent argument… so no.
You are 100% correct, I could not have used a more incorrect turn of phrase if I tried, hahaha. I fully admit not thinking that through at all.
Take my shamefilled upvote.
Upvoted, because this is an incredibly unpopular opinion.
I’m not into sports and I have no plans to watch the Superb Owl today, but I do have a big appreciation for humans being awesome, and for that I can usually appreciate watching even if I don’t care who wins.
Watching a 300lb man accelerate like a freight train or someone jump several feet into the air, twist over backwards, catch a ball and land where they meant to is definitely something I enjoy, because they do work their asses off to get that good and I can appreciate anybody’s passion at that level.
That said, totally agree on the money side, it taints so many things (looking at you IOC).
In NY some businesses have to put a little /!\ icon next to any single serving item containing more than your daily recommended sodium, almost every single serving item on Domino’s menu has this icon.
Everything in moderation, including moderation.
And no amount of convincing would get me to eat those pancakes.
I’ll second CBT, it helped me a lot. My therapist started with identifying my “core beliefs” like “worrying* helps me avoid bad things” and “worrying makes me better at my job” and then through some structured routines helped me change or event disregard them. I’m very analytical and she really helped show the illogical nature of all the time I spent worrying.
That said I first needed a low dose zoloft prescription to even be willing to book the therapy, but I’ve since weened off it.
*specifically hypothetical worries, i.e. “what if”
Maybe the Orca’s should have pulled themselves up by their finstraps. (/s)
It’s almost like someone is trying to tell you to STFU.
