  1. yep. i'm still here. i'm lucky i'm still in a group with a great boss who is actually still customer focused and does a fairly good job of shielding most of us from the corporate bs, though since im second most experienced on the team, i get the privilege of picking up any slack on that side of things. honestly, i know a lot of you on here are bosses. as the talent of my organization (i'm one of 5-8 people in the world that can do what i do), i deal a lot in that stratosphere are part of my job with my customers and vendors, etc. i know more about what other companies' corporate suites do than my own. however, my experience has been that powerpoint is the lead skill for a c-suite person. if i were to count the layers above me, i'll go my boss, his director, that boss's boss, that boss's boss, then that boss's boss, then the ceo of our business unit, then the ceo of the corporation. that's a lot of c-suite to support those of us making the actual money for the company. they are making the actual money for themselves, and i'm making alright-ish money, but honestly, it's all fucking upside-down. i know c-suite can bring value, but my experience is that good execs are few and far between. .the rest are treading 5 years of water if they can parlay that into a couple of board seats and easy street in general. meanwhile, i'm writing my successful quarterly reports, running one of the most successful products in our overall group, by myself, with only my boss's product (which he shouldn't be doing, but due to staff shortages because of layoffs) does better revenue-wise than mine. from my street level perspective, leadership doesn't really lead. they might expedite in some ways, but for the most part, they seem to get in the way. sales sells. marketing does fuck all. and execs do exec things with no real overall practical perspective into how they fucking get paid. they just see share price.
  2. yeah. sucks, but someone needs to tell our guys that blue is calling big strikes on us so swung the fucking bat.
  3. shouldn't we all be expected to save someone if we can, without a thorough investigation of their past actions to determine their worthiness of saving? I'm jumping in after the drowning guy before i issue a background check on him.
  4. cornyn has the power and cachet to play hardball here. he isn't up for reelection until 2026. make no mistake, he is not a good actor in all this. none of what he does operates outside of money and party politics. frankly, i'm surprised the nra still has this much say after that dark russian money dried up. or did it?
  5. i can totally move this to cloak if yall want. or i could start handing out breaks. whatever. doesn't matter to me

  8. haha, fucking exactly. not only wasn't i sure they should even be doing this movie, but now they are going full on musical?
  9. god, this dude was on the news on the daily. always was kind of a slimy schmuck, but a pretty good shit stirrer. also, he stole from his client. otherwise, he might still have some kind of grift going on.
  10. wait, how did biden become glossed two scoops? is this some smooth brain irony i don't understand.
  11. lol i heard that. wtf man

  18. ed 209, imo
  19. cnn reporting multiple dead fuck
  20. exactly. of anyone in law enforcement, local cops know exactly how easy it is to railroad a suspect who isn't guilty. hell, they'll even cut corners and break the law to make the guilty look more guilty.
  21. never believe the police. never. they will lie to you directly. they will make promises they have no intent to honor. they will happily perjure themselves in a trial to make themselves or their colleagues look better. they will protect their own, first, and you, maybe second. i say maybe, because maybe they won't even do that - see uvalde and parkland. on a good day, i guess maybe you can rely on cops for help. immediately following any sort of officer involved shooting, never believe the chief's bullshit when he comes out for a press conference. remember the houston shooting? those cops were heroes the next morning. art was practically ready to pin the medals on their chest in the hospital. oh, lookee here, they were full of shit and who knows how many people they fucked over in their fake raid/arrest scheme.
