  • It kinda looks distressed. But also cute. I gotta get down to AU sometime soon...

  • I heard shaving cream can damage car paint. It would be a real bummer if someone had a shaving cream fight near a dealership and some of it got on the cars to sit overnight.

  • Many democracies form coalitions between smaller parties to create a majority voting block - the US just does it before the election.

  • I think Eleanor Shellstrop captured it best:

    Yeah, in America everyone DOES whatever they want, society DID break down, it's terrible, and it's great! You only look out for number one, scream at whoever disagrees with you, there are no bees because they all died, and if you need surgery you just beg for money on the Internet! It's the perfect system!"

  • Laptop computer. I used to travel for work and got used to working without a keyboard and mouse, and sometimes working without a desk and chair (consulting is classy!).

  • I'm a parent and do not agree with this approach. Everyone should behave in public - and kids should practice so they can learn. At home, my kids get to behave like animals and we do things where they can behave like kids, like trampoline park, zoo, the arcade, etc. When we are out at places where the kids should behave, we bring them iPads and headphones so they are able to make it through the activity. But it is just rude to let your kid intrude and ruin a dinner, museum, movie, etc for others.

  • OMG. Which AI tool produced this?

  • Yup, actual formula. Might not even be the most offensive one in the spreadsheet.

  • Multiple things formatted to look like tables, but not actually tables. And they are summing like every 13th cell. It is wild over here.

  • Dumb question: Is that because there are far fewer people without documentation than expected?

  • It would be nice if Dems had someone who could identify both a cohesive vision AND a path/plan for execution. You know. Actually governing.

  • We are planning for a huge downturn in July at work. I expect something between a recession and a complete shit show. Hoping for the former.

  • Sure thing! Here are some other thoughts your survey brought to mind:

    1. I think of business culture as the way people behave when a leader isn't there giving direction. So, sota in line with your perspective. But unlike the culture of a country, I think a business' culture is defined by behaviors (as opposed to beliefs).
    2. In the last 40 years, public corporations have focused on profits and shareholder value. But I think it is a huge mistake to ignore the other groups the business impacts and influences, such as their customers, their employees and the community they are in. My perspective is that unless all of those things are looked after, the business will become terrible over time (Boeing is like a case study on this).
    3. Not mentioned in your survey, but a pet peeve is the lack of development and mentorship of staff. Most teams could be so much stronger with the right support, oversight and development. But it requires a lot of elbow grease, which managers and leaders are unwilling to put in. To me, this is so wrong it boarders on unethical. But, at least in the US, it is pervasive across businesses.
  • I have so many thoughts stirred up by this survey. Here's just 1: some companies don't benefit from consultants because they are the unwilling or unable to implement their recommendations - not because the recommendatios are wrong. Honestly, most big companies hire consultants to blame their poor results on - and for that, consultants are totally worth the cost. Happy to share more if you would like - just message me.

  • To be fair, this happened in an area where knife incidents don't usually involve a Tesla dealership.
