“The plaintiffs claim that Musk peddled a pyramid scheme in the form of Dogecoin”

Musk’s actions were nothing more than thinly veiled pump-and-dump securities fraud.

And even insomuch as any crypto might be “legitimate”, Dogecoin was literally made as a joke.

a legitimate cryptocurrency

Who do you think are complaining the loudest? Let’s not pretend that middle managers cannot influence company decisions by complaining to the right people in the right way.

The terror is coming from middle managers

This is 100% it.  So many companies are tied into 5-10 year leases and office space in major metropolitan areas is very expensive.  They want you back in the office to justify the cost to their board and shareholders.  But I don’t give a fuck about that.  I work in IT, I’m remote 4-5 days a week depending and my job…

I hope you’re not an English teacher. Also, what about people who aren’t in ‘the education space’? Fuck them?

It’s so stupid and yet so easy to figure out.

I mean there are a lot of reasons tele-education isn’t as good- for one, a lot of products used for tele-education aren’t built with children in mind and aren’t terribly accessible if you are a child who maybe can’t read yet and doesn’t have great organizational skills. Two, it’s easier to create and maintain a…

I think this is closer to the issue. A bunch of C-Level staffers made decisions on owning or leasing space that don’t have clauses like “if you change your mind and let your staff work from home, we’ll take the space back for nothing”

My company drastically changed how we handle performance reviews because we were all talking a lot more with our managers after we went remote.

It was probably never going to thrive for long in the teeth of near-universal managerial hostility to it. They really like being able to physically look over your shoulder to make sure you’re “really working”.

The irony is every company with remote work consistently has shown dramatic increases in productivity. The terror is coming from middle managers who can’t justify their existence without the dog and pony show of people at the office, even though they have no idea what those workers actually do and couldn’t put names…

It is probably going to be another 10 to 20 years before work at home starts to become more mainstream. I know the popular thing is to say that management wants to look over your shoulder but I really don’t think that is the primary driver to keep people in the office. In my opinion it is because management wants the…

It’s not that they ‘like’ looking over your shoulder, that’s simply their job.

It was probably never going to thrive for long in the teeth of near-universal managerial hostility to it. They really like being able to physically look over your shoulder to make sure you’re “really working”.

I’ll add one. Too many outdoor Christmas lights plugged into one extension cord. And leaving them on when you leave. Ironically, we had left to drive around looking at Christmas lights. We lost almost everything in the house. Including 17 animals.

The most savage is using that and then cc’ing a bunch of other people who were not on the original email. 

I’m pretty sure the most savage way to start an email is “Per my last email...”
