Wait, sorry, I'm an accountant in another country; you guys don't tax employee benefits? Lucky.

Based upon the down votes, I am adding an edit: Lucky because it can get nit picky for an accountant, not lucky because your government doesn't care for you. But I mis spoke and it was off topic, so I accept my comment wasn't appreciated.

I have a close family friend who isn't very online. He was convinced Elons never made mistakes and is a galaxy brain alien. I filled him in.

Also: People still believe Reagan was a great president. Propaganda works.

So I can see a writer expecting a meeting of an ex President who says he's amazing and Muskrat being the best that America has to offer.

I have no idea who first said it, but the idea of our norm changing away from capitalism in any meaningful way is so alien to people that they can imagine living on Mars in 5 years more readily then social change.

Make the rest of the house thinner.

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?

Remember: Albatross are good luck as long as they are alive. Vance is a wet fart in an enclosed room.

Same, was revved up, ready to defend the new hosts.

That cow's sick! Must be bird flu.

I don't disagree, however I never found anyone breaking down the % of shares that Musk owns vs others. So I think it could be that Musk plus his buddies have enough shares to get the votes for the pay package, but only 51%, leaving 49% to be annoyed at the costs.

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.

The closest I could think about was Economists speaking out about Reaganomics. I also couldn't find anything exactly like this, however I did find Bush Sr. Calling it voodoo economics and Democrats actually are credited in some cases as calling it Trickle Down economics as a negative. Even Gerald Ford attacked it, which is something coming from the guy who pardoned Nixon.

I found some criticism from Martin Feldstein in 1986 about the strength of supply side economics and some "extremists", though that was after the fact.

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.

It's a setup for them saying you may identify as Trans, then switching it up by explaining some news for you, as in something said in the news, aka a storm coming

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.
