I’ve been practicing the mercenary method for about 5 years now. Since then I’ve significantly increased my salary and I’ve been a lot happier at work. That on top of learning to say “no” has improved my career life exponentially. NO loyalty. No unpaid overtime. No going above and beyond for a company that isn’t going to return the favor.
This is my response to all conspiracy theories. If this deep state cabal is so powerful, and has access to unlimited resources to achieve their agenda, wouldn’t it be easier to just declare martial law and send the deep state army in to drag us all into the streets, point a gun at our heads and say comply or die? Why the theatrics? Is the deep state the Joker? Why not just shoot Batman in the head and be done with it?
RIP my One Plus 7 Pro. Best phone ever.
Yeah I’ve run into that issue before a few times on a few different work machines. I haven’t had it happen for awhile now that I think about it. At least two years.
I used MS OneNote for work going on about 8 years now and it’s been fine. I’ve tried others in the past and have always come back to OneNote.
The problem with all these conspiracy nuts is that they can never answer one simple question. Why the theatrics? If what you say is true it would be incredibly expensive, require vast amounts of resources, and strict compliance like nothing the world has seen before. If this is all about “controlling us”, and the deep state/shadow government is as powerful as they claim whats with the theater? Wouldn’t it be easier, faster, and cheaper to just send in the Shadow government military forces to drag us all into the streets and say comply or die?
Where she really excels is her live performances. We took my kids to the movie on her latest tour and it was really amazing. The spectacle certainly elevated the music. I know it was a movie edited for a theater experience but props to her for putting on a 3hr plus show night after night, not really missing a beat at any of them, and doing it with a smile for her fans. Also I can’t imagine the overwhelming effort required by everyone involved each night to make that show run smoothly. Truly professionals on all fronts in that regard and it’s cool to see it all working.
I must add that I can’t stand anything Taylor anymore. My wife and kids have her music on constantly and they’ve talked about her non stop since my wife went to the concert over the summer. It’s been months of nothing but Taylor every minute of every day and I’m going insane.
If I truly felt a company, or someone at the company, cared for me and my career I’d have no problem putting in the extra effort. Unfortunately it is a rare occurrence and most of the time decisions are revenue/cash flow related and it doesn’t matter how much a company cares. At the end of the day, no matter how good things are where you work, it’ll always come down to the bottom line and what value you provide vs what you are costing the company.
