In the collective bargaining world, we call this Interest Based Bargaining. Been going on for a long time here and there, but seems to result in better decisions with less damaged relationships between workers and management.

These techniques appear to be derived from Dale Carnegie’s 1936 book, How to Win Friends and Influence People. I read it for the first time a few weeks ago and found that it offers sound advice. Most of it stands the test of time though a bit seems a bit dated. For example, telling a woman how attractive she is and…

no, my workplace bullies are like the high school ones. I work in an office in a decently high end job... the bullying is still more like hearing people make fun of you when they think you can’t hear them or accidental IM’s to you ABOUT you when they mean to send them to someone else

I’d like to take a moment to combat the very hurtful message that all progressives preach love and togetherness. I consider myself to be very progressive (and am widely known as being intelligent) and I can tell you that I think love and togetherness are a pile of horseshit.

“i haven’t met a single Native American yet who thinks it’s racist”

For a guy without a working finger, he seems easily triggered.

Change because you personally WANT a change to your life - GREAT. But changing just to bag some chick? Is the stupidest advice I’ve ever heard.

If you’re…

Can someone explain to me the best ways for a man on the wrong side of 40 to even get a first date these days?
