Idk the simplest solution seems to be “my company keeps hiring lazy people, what does the screening / interview process look like? Why do we keep fucking up on the people we’re hiring?”

Yes you should say that person you hired sucked or did not meet your expectations for the job.

Not all information is cleared away, the information pertinent to the performance of the job remains, which should be the only information that matters when the topic of discussion is someone’s job performance.

Unless, that is, you’ve met and tested the performance of every white guy available to you. Otherwise you’re painting people with the same brush. X type of people are Y is racist thinking.

Maybe they hired the wrong person for the job. This could happen with any worker no matter their country of origin.

Maybe they’re a shit manager whose expectations are not clear and who provides no training.

Maybe the employee is going through something at home that is impacting their work. It’s a good manager’s responsibility to know their workers and give them grace.

Racism is just a lazy person’s excuse for not analyzing the complexities of the situation.

Bribe it’s called a bribe.

I think he’s just going to go to Russia for the fuel.

I’m probably wrong, but I’ve been speculating if the plan is:

  1. US imposes tariffs on its most valuable trading partners
  2. War in Ukraine “ends”; US stops sending weapons; Ukraine goes to Russia; US possibly threatens to pull out of NATO to accomplish this
  3. Tariffs stay in place for traditional US allies; US helps Russia rebuild economically by becoming its new best good trading buddy, tariff free of course.

I wish journalists would stop pulling punches on headlines. “Making up facts” is lying.

He’s looking for loyal peons who know how to be on TV and who will parrot talking points.

He’s not looking for real expertise. In case this hasn’t been obvious with Gaetz, Dr. Oz, the Fox News guy and the rest.

They took money from Saudi Arabia post bankruptcy if I recall correctly.

This is serving so much Saudi Arabia energy.

I think it’s god’s will when men aren’t able to get erections. It’s not natural to use viagara or cialis. Surely the same people so in tune with god’s will would agree with that one, right?

Hah for now it is….

You also have Danielle Smith (Alberta Premier) cozying up to Tucker Carlson, Poilievre (National Conservative Party leader) and the convoy, India and Russia.

And GOP operatives who coincidentally, I’m sure, also supported the convoy.

Canadian right wing influencers caught up in the Russian payment scandal.

I don’t believe for a second that Pierre and elements of the federal conservative party wouldn’t want to get rid of our rights in Canada. It’s just unpopular to say that part out loud.

I’m pretty close with this person outside of work and we used to have good non-work conversations but now I feel all I get is stories and photos of her children. We work in a tight knit team so I can’t really avoid them.

I got no less than 3 updates this weekend about a sports event with her kids including photos; more photos and another update about said event this morning; another photo of another child; updates about what her toddler was doing, and updates about how her kid made the track and field team and she absolutely needs to take time off work to go.

I don’t ask for this and I don’t really respond when she does it. I prefer to talk about other things. We used to talk about other things and now it’s kids 99% of the time to the point where it feels really one-sided. I tried to talk about a concert I went to this weekend and got really lukewarm reception.

I’m thinking I need to tone it down and say goodbye to the relationship/chit chat for a while? I feel if I tell her bluntly I’m tired of hearing about her children it will hurt her feelings. Any ideas?
