I was actually going to point that out. IMO from what I've seen of parents are that people who bring their children at a young-ish age to a therapist have a different issue. Especially "being to hyper" or "being unable t

The average income in my area is less than $35k / year. ~80% own homes. I find it funny when people tell me "this is misguided" and they have no idea what they're talking about. I've lived off <$35k / year f

I think it's fair that people value different things. BUT my point is that we shouldn't assume everyone needs to live in the same location to obtain their wants. > An amenity I need that I definitely would not be able to get in

The argument I've seen is making a national voting day (everyone's off), then they have to travel to a particular area vote. You can combine it with ID checks and/or proof of residency. All of which are minor, but easily doab

Ironically, this is why a lot of people argue everyone shouldn't vote. Basically, if you add some minor barriers to voting you'll get only those who know and care about what's going on to vote. Otherwise, you'll have l

People handle different loads. Some people perform better under stress, others need far more time off and breaks and they'll perform better. As a manager you're a representative of the company, and it's your duty to maximize

One thing as a manager I was passionate about was monitoring the team stress. Some team members work better under pressure, others don't and it's a balancing act. For instance, I've had co-workers that need the constant press

I'm not going to comment on the firing. What I can say, is that all research papers should be questioned heavily. Generally, the review process is very incestuous and creates perverse incentives to not threaten publications. It wouldn&

"points" are just a way to avoid being held accountable. If we were to use hours (even buckets of hours, aka: 1, 2, 4, 8 hrs) we'd be better off. It'd be more transparent and while it may differ between team members, we

It's been painful watching my family members who own a restaurant and a bar. I think this post still misses the mark. Food prices are not up 5-15%, based on what my family is seeing it's up 40-50%. They're desperately trying
