That's a bold assumption since you know nothing about me. It's also incorrect, I've just never tried to murder a bunch of other people too. Most people who commit suicide don't try to pair it with mass murder.

They are company "Purchase" cards. They are often used for purchases for the office like supplies or other one off perks (i.e. food). In some companies they are separate from travel cards which can only be used for travel.

Delivery apps don't require that you go anywhere or talk to anyone. Theyre stupid expensive though. Being robbed on a highway would almost certinaly be cheaper than doordash.

I agree with you that people hearing voices does not necessarily mean they are violent or dangerous. The majority of people who hear voices have never and will never hurt anyone.

Jehanne d'Arc technically never took a human life directly...but she's famous for being a rallying symbol of France and strategic wartime leader. That doesn't exactly make her hands clean even if she never technically killed anyone. Shes also reported as having had a pretty vicious temper that lead to her doing things like chasing prostitutes with a sword which isn't exactly the epitome of peaceful and undangerous.

One could end up in prison in the process of making the needed money and the other is a CEO

While I agree that most of the talk about helping those struggling is empty I think it's a bit disingenuous to imply suicide by airplane was the only option available to him. This happened in America were there are almost as many guns as people. Hurting others during a suicide attempt by trying to crash a plane is a choice.

We definitely need better mental health resources but killing 83 other people wasn't his only option.

He's polling so low that I didn't even realize he was still running. I thought I'd just missed him dropping out, the fact that he's still "on the trail" is just pathetic.

*he was trying to bully them into giving him the position.

If he'd been trying to bully democrats it would have been fine

I think it's a French version of Maria or something.

Edit: according to the baby name sites its a French version of Miriam...although it does mean bitter which seems like a harsh thing with which to saddle a child

I just had to look up all of those movies because I had no idea they'd made them. Those aren't exactly huge blockbuster live your life like a Rockefeller off the residuals movies. This guy might get a movie made about him but I think you're overstating it's potential worth. He might even be able to make a living through speaking engagements and the like but it's unlikely to make him rich. His heist is more niche interest than many others and I think your personal interest in it might be clouding that.

We're still 12 tries off the record. If your gonna fail a vote you might as well go for gold

Being a child also doesn't demand as much mental load. Yes you've got school but as an adult I've not only got work but all the tasks of running a home, food, driving, and other misc "chores" that pop up throughout the day. At the end of that it can be difficult to further concentrate sometimes.

Marking it as confidential in an email is not them telling you that you can't share your own info. It's warning you that the info inside the email may be something you don't want to open when presenting etc.

A lot of companies will try to discourage you from talking about your pay. Unless they actually take action against you (i.e. teprimand/firing) there isn't anything that you could bring to HR or a court.

Your reaction seems extreme for what would be typical corporate policy (i.e. confidential on an email like that).

If you worked in manufacturing then I'm sorry for everyone who had to work with you. I've also used MRP systems and they don't negate the need for stand up meetings. But you clearly don't actually want to understand my point so it seems were at an impasse. Please continue working in IT for all our sakes.

A lot of that CEO comp is also not in the form of cash, it's in the form of things like stocks. So a lack of stock buy backs would automatically lower CEO/exec comp as well. That lowered Exec pay wouldn't go directly to the employees (since it can't be double counted) but if one of the goals is closing the delta as some have mentioned then no buy backs helps with both.

Realistically executive salaries probably won't cover a salary increase across the workforce foe the whole country. Not doing a stock buy back just might though.

Manager: "Torrential rain at our customers location means we're going to have to move priorities, I just got the email 5 minutes ago."

Sup 1: Our new pioritizes mean we're running the lathe. We cant pivot to project Y because the metal for that was cut incorrectly and the new order is on backorder. We can use that metal to make order K but well have to manually cut it down."

Sup 2: "Tim called out this morning, I can rearrange my department to cover most positions but not that one, can I get John from you to run the lathe? Gary is the most qualified but his sister filed for divorce from Doug on saturday. Doug has to interact with the lathe position all day and itll cause issues."

Sup 1: "I can give you John if I can get Frank from department X to help cover down."

Sup 3: " I can give Frank up but were having a baby shower for Rachel at 1400 and Ill need him back for that."

Sup 1: "Thats fine we have maint scheduled for today well just do that then."

Manager: "Now that we've had our 5 -10 minute start up meeting no one do anything. Lets call the IT guy on the other side of the country who hates meetings and get him to program the details of todays resource allocation into joemos skynet. He says its way more efficient than us talking for 5 fucking minutes at the start of the day. It definitely has a section for you're most experience lathe operators sister is divorcing the forklift driver in another department. Joemo skynet can then text its plan into the ether cause 10% of the floor doesnt even have a working phone number and 99% dont have computer access. Joemo definitely understands the manufacturing industry."

If you know of a good way to automate leading humans out of manufacturing then youll make millions and CEOs will love you. Because if theres one thing computer systems are definitely great at its dealing with completely unique and non black and white information especially without a human having to manually input it.

I'm not the person you were replying too but I believe that I work in a similar industry to them. Can I just say that you sound like an asshole with this response?

I work in manufacturing and automation does not yet exist for every job on our floor. Every day is different and people actually need to work as a team in our industry. You may be incapable of team work but some industries/jobs still require it. You may not work in a fast paced environment were requirements (sometimes even regarding people's safety) can change in minutes but some people still do. You may be able to work remotely in your bubble using hands off email leadership that ignores the human element behind the screen but some people are still required to go to work in person and work with other humans face to face.

Telling someone they should layoff everyone by just adding automation is insulting. Telling someone they should be delivering instructions for complex systems, in an industry you clearly know nothing about, over text is asinine. The guy you were talking too is trying to do the best he can to make the people who work for him successful in a low tech enviornment with massive coordination requirements and you think he can be replaced with an automated text message? Fuck you.

I just want to point out that this may be true for IT or other remote positions (I don't know, I've never worked in IT.) But in some other industries a quick 5-10 minute morning meeting can be essential. Especially in industries/jobs were everyone doesn't have computer access. I know Lemmys all tech bros but I did want to point out that this approach works well in other work environments.

They also may have just not checked to see if everyone was on the call, especially if that meeting has a bunch of people on it.
