Same.  I’m thrilled to get a free $3400 windfall (two kids), but so far my employer is still paying me to work from home, so.... why do I need it?  We’re pretty resolved to pay it forward and make sure it gets to people who need it more.  I think the $75/99k cap is decent, but for couples it should be lower.  A couple…

A little tidbit that not everyone might have figured out is Starion is almost certainly Engrish for Stallion.

That’s a really good question. Boards are supposed to have the serious role of providing corporate governance and direction on behalf of shareholders. They essentially hire the CEO and ensure he/she is effectively managing the organization.

Clayton Christensen (RIP) was a friend of a classmate while I was in my executive MBA program. My classmate asked Clayton to come and deliver a full day lecture, and Clayton did. Best single day of the entire MBA program.

This really isn’t the forum, but Christensen’s principle of disruption explains this process very well.

I don’t dismiss Miss Mable Jenkins’ wisdom. I do think she may be too use to turning the other cheek.

CEOs are like college sports coaches. Once you’re in, you’re in. You don’t have to be good. In fact you can be awful. But get that first job and next thing you know your name pops up whenever there’s another opening even if you have no results, bad results, or your only good results were a fluke (you took over when…

I worked at a primary school where we had to call the cops on a 12-year old. He had severe behavioural issues due to over-indulgent parenting, and a history of rampaging through the classroom smashing up anything he could get his hands on (including people). His parents had indignantly refused all behaviour mod…

British Airways managed to operate the “too expensive” Concorde at a profit every single year it was in operation almost entirely because of the JFK-Heathrow route. The Concorde was horrible, just completely useless, as a subsonic aircraft, which is what the U.S. forced it to be at all times over land. The government…

I guess one bad act/threat begets another, right?

That part of his history needs to be addressed and I understand why Leslie sort to smooth over it... it’s a friendship thing I guess.

I think the concern is that it’s the journalists who are driving the narrative, not people on the ground. It’s become abundantly clear that Kobe’s colleagues, family, and friends are not going to discuss or give credence to the allegations of rape. And the vast majority of basketball fans are not asking for additional…

It shouldn’t need to be said, but I think it does ‘Living Single’ was objectively a better show from top to bottom. The cast was more talented, had better comedic timing, the plot lines were better, and the characters were people you actually wanted to be around. And ajacent to the Martin Lawrence show if my memory…

I’m not tired of talking about race. This morning, I was walking my dogs and ran into an acquaintance who expressed surprise at how good my old lady skin looks, and my butt. Race! Yesterday I had a colonoscopy, and had to have a bunch of biopsies. Race again! It comes up in all kinds of ways (i guess my butt did, too.)

I think it’s fair to say that Sonmez exercised really poor judgment. Her decision to tweet out the Daily Beast article wasn’t so much in the hours following his death as it was literally minutes after it was first reported, a period in which we knew at least four other people had also died violently and in fire and…

Aside from how overly White these events are, which I’ve pointed out before, I think that the stupidity of people leaving and wanting to be seen in their cool cars is an issue that is sometimes ignored, depending on the area. Big time if the events are held off of main busy streets.
