My employer and many others started RTO in July 2020 with a playbook from a White House lead "return to work" committee. I wouldn't say it was made possible by vaccination. Many CEOs absolutely are fearful of the new environm

There are also fare adjustment machines, you put your ticket in and it tells you what difference to pay to "upgrade" your ticket. Many travelers will just grab a ticket that sounds vaguely correct and then fare adjust at the end.

I have no need to do that as I'm actually involved in my teams and don't need arbitrary numbers to see that someone is contributing. I'm fortunate that I have been able to avoid (or actively dodge) metric perverts in my caree

Every team I've ever worked with (11) has had at least one person that would meet this archetype. Their team-based contribution usually wilts under the kind of individualized metrics being pushed for by some here and the team suffers

That's not exactly true, The Cell and Buu sagas were aired on US TV after only a small delay from the Japanese release and local television was airing the Frieza saga on from the mid 90s.

That's technically true. The typical interpretation would be "[The] site [was] not found" as a verb. If you squint hard enough you can interpret is as "[The] site [is] not [in the state of being] found".

"Updating" in the phrase "Software updating" as a status message isn't a gerund though. It looks a lot like a gerund but it's really a casual form that drops the rest of the verb "[is] updating".

They're just casual or conversational forms of the verbs. Dropping "is" from "is updating" for example.

The passive voice is fine. The error of writing in the passive voice when you shouldn't be is common enough in composition that it has been short-handed to "never use the passive voice" though.

I'm confused, which part am I not right about? It seems like we agree based on your second paragraph.

I don't see how that is the divide here. You could have a command economy work people into the ground and you can have a market economy work people into the ground. The same holds true for limiting working hours.

I'm not calling into doubt the above poster's work estimates, there are people that work those hours, but I have found that it is extremely, extremely rare. Across all of the teams I have worked with I have found that if you ask s

I don't have that connotation for the word and I'm not sure I can find support for it either. If I have 5 objects and five people and I give one to each that's a distribution. If I give them all to one person, that's a d

I worked at a US IBM site for a couple weeks a few years back and they had an engineer assigned to my group who would walk with us to the kitchenette and pay for our coffee from the machine each time. I hope he was reimbursed!
