I’d agree that someone in a lead role must have more collaborative time but I think IRL collaborative time needed is still significantly less than imagined by the ‘remote work is bad’ crowd. In my opinion IRL is more needed for negotiation,

The argument I hear mostly from the ‘remote work is bad’ crowd is that there is highly valuable intangible benefit to collaboration in real life than collaboration remotely. I can get behind the idea that remote work is not as effective esp

At some point this may become a significant source of stress for the primary bread winner. Dual income families enjoy a level of insulation that single income families do not. In the single income family the primary bread winner has double

If you explicitly included a contract that stated how the pen was to be used and the ramifications before my acceptance of your pen then yes. Companies do include policies about how their equipment is to be used and for what and they do inc

To build on your comment…I think picking simple or anti-complexity is a values call perhaps enabled by emotional intelligence and being secure in who you are. I have met many people whose identity is wrapped up in being smart. When faced wi

Oh for sure, I served over 20 years ago and the branches have all adapted their PT regimes quite a bit. Push-ups, Sit-ups and Run was the standard when I served and since then I think they’ve changed it up a bunch and some have even tried i

Sure type 2 diabetes or being drastically overweight disqualifies you from service. Lots of people have never done a push up or run outside of gym class by the time they serve, it’s not a new challenge. Couch to 5K is solvable and the milit
