Nailed it. She was notorious for that.

Had a VP who was forced to do this (but with commercial flights) 15ish years ago. It was hell and she quit after 4 months. Management was surprised due to their inability to understand people or reality.

I mean, it’s gotta be Final Fantasy I-VI Bundle (Pixel Remasters, because I’ve only played through VI and IV once every 5 years and I should get those numbers up.

So I have two Chromecasts, and this sucks, didn’t really want to replace them eith boxes (once they die). What viable replacements are there?

I, for one, am glad that AI is no where near able to implement this ability. That said, I’d be worried if they said they implemented it and used it as a way to target political enemies.

She was able to work, for free, in her freshman summer, while going through for a finance degree. So many questions:

Where did the money come from? Who paid her tuition?

Why not go through for Co-op, where you obtain a job as part of schooling? Or why did she have to hunt for internships? Even my wife, who had unpaid internships and family to back her up during the same time, had help from the school to find it. How jank is U of Texas?

Why, pray tell, is a finance degree holder the CMO?

I mean, I’m happy for her, but how useful is her recommendations? If you don’t have a family who can pay your tuition and summer living costs, this is useless.

And ignoring how people need money in order to have shelter and food, what does she think happe s if everyone starts doing this? Should I be calling up everyone at SquareSpace and asking for a job?

They’ve made 1 billion back of the 6, and expectations are 50 billion over 10 years. So if they don’t see a growing amount, sure, skepticism is fine, but these things take time and there is already some amount in the first year, which most wouldn’t have expected. I’d say be cautiously optimistic that there are results.

It could be something weird like Conkers Bad Fur day multi-player. Though I agree with others it’s most likely Mario Kart

Hennessey is a Cognac that sells itself as high end. Hip hop bands would buy Hennessey as a sign they had made it when they got big.

What I’ve found (in multiple systems across different companies) is spells and other class abilities that are in any plentiful amount will eventually have duds in them, and eventually printing schedules means you can’t fix/test them all. So you send them off, hope they don’t break the game, and make errata later if they are truly broken. This is a case where they had time to fix them, eventually.

Jabra Elite 45h, via Bluetooth. Use the same for work and the sound cancelling is nice. Also they are very comfortable, pair easily, and the battery lasts a long time.

I had an uncle who nearly tested this theory.

I hope he gets his license pulled soon.

But then you can’t fire them and not have to call it a re org.

It’s nice, but it comes with micromanagement. They are like fleas, though the biting is more painful.

Octopath Traveler 2 and Deep Rock Galactic. Oh, and Grounded, when all 3 of us have time.

Won’t someone think of the poor capitalists who can’t love better lives then those around them!

/s, just in case.

Yeah I was wondering if it was an underhanded way to get rid of people without officially letting them go. Seems like a lot of time and money tracking people to do that though, so I really have to wonder if they’ve lost the plot, thus me leaning towards incompetence.

That all said, and to hedge my bets, I haven’t seen their Financials. Maybe the verification is using cheap labour like YouTube review systems, for instance, or maybe they are really bloated.

Hard to say, you could be right. That’s where I’m less sure. I’ve had jobs where a (not direct manager) boss thinks I do less than I do, and more than I do.

The ones who believed I did less believed they did more than me regardless of what my manager reported or actual work done. The ones who believed more consistently didn’t hand me work and I eventually would leave.

One job I had different people who disagreed about the actual amount of work I did based on if I was at my desk vs the amount of awards I had vs my lunch breaks vs my extra work projects. I’d have feedback sessions with my manager about burnout but also if I was taking too long for lunch and going home too early.

What I’m saying is I think people are terrible at assessing subordinates work.

So I’ve worked in business for 17ish years now, and the only consistent thing I can say about business leadership is they are there to have their egos stroked.

They do not care about money or other people until they look bad, and even then they don’t do anything until someone threatens to take away the group of people forced to listen to them.

Working from home hurts their ego. This method (RTO) doesn’t improve value and increases turnaround, which increases expenses if you are happy with the amount of people working for your company, as replacing people costs money.

So either Dell still needs to get rid of people, or a bunch of old fucks need someone to suck up to them in person.

Born Canuck here. Yes one of us, ya hoser.
