This work style suits me as well. I have always preferred jobs that reward outcomes and offer true flexibility. Sometimes I work a lot. Sometimes I log off at 2pm and nap. But it isn't right for everyone.
I live in a part of the country where I frequently compete for work (or did before I started a business) against candidates from all over the world. These are not roles that can be done by a unique, small set of people - it's like marketing manager type roles. So something needs to be adjusted - even just a little.
Does anyone know the strategy or play for doing this? I mean, this seams super weak on the surface. I do know that the timing or the next negotiations would be advantageous, but geesh, that the best they got?
My assessment is that we are in a unique place where we need system changes - without which policy changes will be near impossible. I'm talking term/age limits for all branches, banning lobbying, publicly funded elections, banning gerrymandering, etc. And while Gavin is not ideal from a policy perspective - he does appear to have the fortitude to tackle systemic corrections.
When you say "secure in their masculinity" what does the masculinity part consist of?
