You may want to be a little cautious here in how you turn down the role (if you do). It sounds like they feel they should be getting more out of people for what they are currently paying them. Right or wrong, if you make it clear you will not take on more without being paid for it, they may...

Def let me know if you wind up here. And if you want a place to stay in Queens, you are more than welcome to my spare bedroom. Yeah, that's a tough one for both of you. Given the church environment you grew up in, I'm sure your wife is not the only person you know from our generation who has...

Also keep in mind, if you leave to go somewhere else, you walk away from all the vested good will you have. If the company you go to has to make cuts, you will be a well paid person with no tenure, nearing the end of your career... most companies lean heavily on LIFO (last in, first out) when...

I'm late to this thread. First off, very sorry to hear about the marriage issues. I've been traveling a lot lately and clearly missed something. But after all you've been through together, it really saddens me to hear things may not be working out. On the work side, I'd be very careful...

Maybe this has already been covered... but Trump did not bankrupt A casino... he bankrupted 3 casinos... then rolled his holdings together into one company, which he bankrupted twice... then re-orged it into another company, which he then bankrupted a third time.

WTF is an invasion scenario for Greenland? You land and plant a flag? Greenland does not even have a military.

Scheyer has continued on with K's late career trajectory... assembling teams of elite talent who flame out every year in the tournament. He had 3 players drafted in the top 10 last year. We are pissed that HD is not getting more out of a team with 1 elite player. I was being a bit tongue and...

I was referring to Scheyer...

I'm not sure any coach has gotten less out of more in the history of college basketball...

I did dry November. Plan to do mostly dry Jan, only making exceptions for social events with friends on weekends. Though I generally try to keep dry Sun-Thurs for the whole year. Since turning 40 (and then 50 last year), I just can't do it on work nights.

Of course she does not deserve what she got. That's like giving 50 years to life to an electronics store manager for stealing a TV. Is what she did clearly and demonstrably wrong? Sure. Should she have been fired for it. Sure... but I can tell you millions of people have inappropriate...

From my POV, underprivileged is underprivileged. Trying to sort out which set of underprivileged deserve help and which don't is just an exercise in bias. We have to decide whether we as a society believe in helping those who are less fortunate, or if we have abandoned the Christian...

We all have biases on which underprivileged populations deserve a little extra help... and which do not. Trying to cherry pick that we help this group and not that one is a path that's begging our unconscious biases to take over. Is it fair to say that we all have certain underprivileged groups...

I'd say it's 6 of one, half dozen of the others. I think many *want* to blame it on DEI/minorities, and Trump/MAGA have jumped on this to, as you said, protect the broken system that is more and more every day only serving the billionaire elite.

This is a very good post... people want to believe their jobs are being taken by less qualified minorities... in truth they are being taken by the glut of highly qualified people hitting the market when premier jobs are not restricted primarily to white men.
