Even so, it is Wend-ception, Wendy's all the way down...

After months of no replies, you are fired for "lack of initiative".

Unless you went ahead and did it, and then you get fired for "too much initiative".

You have to find just the right amount of initiative.

Later: why didn't you do the thing I asked?

The secret is: it's always your fault.

On the other hand, what better way for a parent to ensure that their precious little guy remains one? 😜

Tbf I have never seen that before in the last year, and it was from an account mere minutes old. So this spurt was all over the place but overall quite a rare occurrence.

Non-profit, not-for-profit, "lifestyle" companies, and so much more - yeah.

Even Boeing was an entirely different company before it bought out that other one, then ended up with the CEO of the former, failed business, somehow in charge of the successful one that bought it (due to some kind of sex scandal or something iirc where the CEO of Boeing had to step down so they handed the reigns of power to the other guy). And that transition into the former style did not happen overnight - they moved corporate headquarters away from the engineering facilities, so that the managers would not be "distracted" by trifling concerns like whether the planes can actually fly. It's a really fucking tragic story, depicting how that other guy basically managed to "fail upwards" and take the entirety of not only one military contracting airline with him, but then it looks like all of Boeing as well. :-( It definitely reveals that there are foundational, fundamental cracks in the system itself, which allowed this to come to pass.

Everyone has different skills. Some are good at thinking, and spend enormous amounts of time at improving that skill. Others... don't. Which would be fine, if they weren't the ones in charge - e.g. claiming to be Pro-Life while killing people.

If you are interested and haven't done this deep dive yet, Innuendo Studios' The Alt-Right Playbook goes into imho the perfect amount of depth to explain so much about how people fall for such logical traps. And Ian Danskin is a fucking international treasure - his other series on e.g. Protagony I cannot recommend highly ~~though~~ (edit: WHAT, I meant to say ENOUGH - I cannot recommend it highly ENOUGH! It is a freaking AWESOME video!!!).

Anyway, my unasked-for thought is that I would guess that you feel frustrated bc you have unrealistically high "expectations" of them. Lower them - they simply are not capable of doing what you can do, and while yes a good deal of that is choice/nurture, a lot of it is innate/nature as well.

Ofc, do what you want and more importantly feel how you wish, but I hope this suggestion helps!:-)

As always, the video is just over 10 minutes long. And it zooms in on the face. Yeah, suddenly I just don't care enough to finish this adventure. Downvote me if you wish - I've never not been disappointed whenever I ignore those signs and push through anyway.

Bill Gates I guarantee you could have hidden this if he had wanted to btw.

I am so sorry, to hear of this loss of your sanity. RIP your brain.
