Don't drag the art room into this, everything that happens in there is consensual, no matter how sick and twisted it is.

Just don't forget the safeword

It’s always other people that are the problem, not the sacred cow.

But... It is. Just ask someone "what is it that you want?" and then marvel at the profound, self-destructive, completely retarded answers you get. Every HR survey, ever. All boards and committees run by volunteers. All elite-level team sports. All Town Councils. All school PTA's.
People create all their problems.

Brother, let me tell you about my sniper-based solution.

So, back to my original point.
People are shit.

I rest my case your honour.

When people have issues admitting they fucked up.

Just own it and move on.

The fact that Teams isn't smart enough to know that I'm running on my laptop, so I get notifications on my cellphone as well, just a fraction of a second later, so it's two notifications for each chat message. Like fuck, it's nice to have the option to use it on the cellphone, but that's clearly a secondary use case for any sane human.

@Tik-Tok and @schurchill39 , what about street not having a consistent slope so there's a low spot 50 yards from the storm drain?

Legit complaint. Especially when the city refuses to fix it. There's a street a 1/2 block from my kids school has has a point so low that all winter long it's 1m radius icerink in the gutter AND over the sidewalk.

Also legit. The neighbourhood around my kids school is the same. They are older neighbourbooks and at the corner of every street is always 4+ inches of ice in the winter.

when I'm trying to get other people in my company to post on linkedin when they do interesting or relevant work activities, and instead, they just text me low-res potato-phone pics and say "here you go".

Fucks sake, I'm not the one presenting a paper at at a conference in Texas, I'm not even in the room, why the fuck would I post this?

Brother, can you embrace the "notifications disabled" lifestyle? It does wonders for me re: Teams and all the bullshit that pops up. I'll check chats periodically and I get to them when I get to them. That's the way life should be.

This is de way

Even 90% of my incoming phonecalls are automatically screened

Work phone on DND from 7.30pm until 6.30am (typical work hours for me are 7-7)

The entitlement of the younger generation.
I spend more time managing the requests for special treatment than I care to admit.

What happened to working hard, become excellent (add value), and then asking?

Working hard doesn't even matter. Just be productive.

Start by meeting the minimum performance and being below average in drama. That's a pathway to the top in most companies now.
