It’s secretly raspberry milkshake with chunks of raspberry but the straw is shaped like a bone.

Don’t you tell me what to call my meat shakes

Yeah, the manager fucked up by providing too much info and wording it poorly. If it’s “you two have different skills and contribute to the team in different ways” that’s another story. If Marcus is also making sure the rest of the team feels supported and keeps morale high then that is work too! (As someone who often fills the emotional support human role, on top of regular duties, I’m glad that this could be recognized). Productivity is more than work output, and comparison is the thief of joy.

If the person is upset because they feel their workload is too high, or that they aren’t being compensated for their own work, then that’s a different convo they should be having.

That dewlap tho

Man, what a legacy this man has. In th Lemmy app I use, the top of the was cut off in the thumbnail and so all I saw were the fittings and I was like man Ea Nasir, you still haven’t improved your supply? And then I opened the image and yep he’s at it again.

All hail big Osty

That makes sense. I always feel like the people make the job what it is, and I just have a hard time reconciling how such horrific leadership can attract good people.

There’s so much to unpack here. Did you work for a company run by a supervillain? And yet enjoyed the work?

Does gog usually get early access? Genuinely curious

I fully endorse this point, but with an added caveat. The government is made up of people, just like any other organization, but there is often less money to be had in the public sector than the private sector (corruption notwithstanding) so often you wind up with people passionate about their work, but occasionally you have people who aren’t talented enough to hack it in the private sector.

The second example kind of feels like the Third Man Factor.

I have definitely seen artsy, not-at-all rich people, dress similarly to this lady. Maybe they were secretly into human trafficking tho

What? Why? As in, why Tim Cook aka Tim Apple? I’m so confused, why are tech oligarchs getting CIA briefings? And this is normal?

Great tip! Thank you for sharing!

Interesting, what did you use them for?

I don’t want to set the world on fiiiire.

I had no idea he was paid by the word! It’s been making me feel better that I’m not the only one who struggled.

This book was such an interesting combination between a chore and a joy to read. I remember audibly gasping at some of the twists, but the antiquity of the language made it a slow go, at least for me.

Crazy to think it might be based on a true story.
