Oh? Well to be fair, the ugliest thing on the road is not strictly a car, and to call it a "truck" is both an insult to anything that actually computes, and to actual trucks – or anything else that fits in road lanes.

Well now, let's not get our knickers in a twist! The beatings will continue until morale improves.

You'd have a future in modern sculpture. ;-) Okay, sorry sculptors! I like the brute force of the bat/garbage symbolism that seems so fitting in this day and age.

Management and leadership values, character, and integrity matter because it's unwise to assume there is some homogenous allegiance to customers behind the propaganda of putting the customer first. PE will and must squeeze for their ma

I like this comment because it speaks to how we humans tend to not look (compare ourselves) down, but rather up. I don't strictly mean status, but...status. And the idea that one isn't reaching one's potential is clearly a so

Your comment reminds me of advice I once got as a young person: small talk is an invitation to talk, and if you don't get traction with small talk, you're not ever going to get deep talk. So, hopefully the friendly vibe was a good

Yes! And I recommend a post about "The Wealth Ladder" by Nick Maggiulli. A concept I love because I relate is the idea of how we are conscious about how much we spend on things, or we are not. Do you count the cost of a daily lunc

No time for sadness? HA! War and suffering continues unabated, "surprise"! No, sadness becomes part and parcel of...everything! At least nowadays: New awesome toy! Kid got bad grade. Fun vacation last week! Friend's daughter

There is undoubtedly value in both the self-help advice and the self-reflection and self-assessment involved in deciding if the advice is for you. That value likely will decrease with age and experience, but is still nice to consciously ack

I'm a manager too, but I'm also the new guy pushing the solution to a human problem: work management. SMAR, ASAN, MNDY, etc. Not only do people not want to be responsible for it (and in some cases simply be "not responsible&q

On the other hand, the poker apps encourage me to consider a career change. I regularly crush the "opposition" with my card-counting skills. World Series of Poker, I am all-in!!! ;-)

Regrettably, humans come along and need to prove themselves , so here we are. Being human: it's a feature, not a bug. (shrugs)

Brief anecdote: A friend hired an electrician to wire some things and he asked how the electrician's business was going. The reply was (paraphrased): We hired seven people two weeks ago, now only one is left because the rest either did

I'm not sure that was the point of the poster's question about electricity, because I've heard the same assertion made by science writers and such. Our current BFF, ChatGPT, says the question is about "charge" in th

"...gov't supervisors stopped publishing financial reports." And you thought OKRs were bad! Ha ha ha, reports suck? Let's really make reporting consequential for individuals, like in China. The irony is just that &quot

I'm a bit behind you in years, but/and am very comfortable doing things by myself or in small groups; I would say I even prefer being alone most of the time. As a manager in tech, there's plenty of human interaction at work!

Wish I could post a pic of my Ferrari-red, "high end" Ikea KLAPPE office chair I'm sitting on right now, purchased 15 some years ago, still going strong holding me up. The floor demo, however, that had reached EOL, lol! Okay,

I read this and thought, "Hey, cool name, I should start a consultancy called Cooler Heads!" Then such heads prevailed, and my bank balance remained the same. What did I do wrong?

Consultants also provide political cover if things go sideways. Conversely, if the consultants operate well, the executive sponsor might be promoted and thus there is value delivered. But really the question is, "Are you working somepl
