That middle finger at the end was a beautiful addition

A total fucking masterpiece.

all 32 NFL teams dont want to anger racists who love it when unarmed black men are shot. that’s where we are now.

I don’t think it’s sincere in any way.

This stuff is amazing. It makes the best manhattans. Gives me a big ol’ drinkin’ boner.

I don’t think they are that sophisticated, I’d go with Hanlon’s razor on this one and they are just incompetent.

This comment is everything. Can I frame it? Can I tweet it? Can I marry it and hold it in my arms while the world burns?

Go directly to hell, you absolute nightmare of a person.

I’m a-going to raise tempering chocolate again. I’ve used mine to do so (at 110, mostly to blend in erythritol for very low carb chocolate) but would love to see someone else who is a better cook show if I’ve missed something.

If this is performance art, bra-fucking-vo.

Are you flirting with me? ;)

Completely agree. The number one skill of a leader is leading, not doing. I have been in high leadership positions for going on twenty years. I could step out tomorrow without planning and work will continue. Nobody is making a decision to sell the company in a week from an email. We’re not talking rare emergencies,…

Also highlights the guilt we all feel about taking time off. It is a benefit we have earned – we have every right to take that time off and be truly OFF work. But instead we all look at it as “well, gotta get all that stuff done before I’m out!” or “gotta catch up on all the work I missed”.

I couldn’t agree more. As a manager I always want to make sure that my team can be self-sufficient without me, and that they know what resources are available to them if I’m not around. I remember I went on vacation for 2 weeks several years ago, and everyone was freaking about how I wouldn’t be checking email. All I…

I’ve personally been really liking the Q Ginger Beer that comes in a white can with purple writing. Nice and sharp without being too sweet. Found it at Target and Amazon has a subscribe and save. It’s delicious.

Unless someone has hit “reply all” on a company-wide email. In those cases, it’s very important to also ‘reply all’ and let them know that they accidentally replied to all and that you’d like to be removed from this list.

Something that a lot of people miss is back channel availability. When I’m on vacation, I’m definitely reachable to the people covering for me in case they need something, but it’s the rest of the company I’m not available for. That way, I’m letting my team learn and grow and exercise authority with my support, and…

No. That’s just shit you tell yourself so you feel important. You can play make believe about how you are indispensable all day, but you just aren’t. Full stop.

He should have went with “sticks”, as his number is 11 and he clearly has a third one up his ass.

Yeah, I’m totally on board with the sentiment of the email, but I always roll my eyes when someone says “limited access to email.” Bullshit, you have access to email, you are just making the completely justifiable decision not to check it. Why lie? Who is it that is losing respect for you?
