Yeah, that’s exactly right. But also you missed the subtle undertones of how things are going so dystopian that soon oxygen may actually become a luxury.

Not sure why that upsets you so much. Just sit on the floor, cross your legs Indian-style if you like and take in three big breaths of air. Wooosha. Wooosha. Wooosha. Like that. You’ll like it. There’s oxygen in the air. Kind of like a luxury.

I don’t know, maybe oxygen.

Gladly? None.

Just wait a year or two and find out.

That’s not the solution. We need more guns. Since there are more guns than people in the US, I would guess the shootings would end when we have 2/person. Or maybe more powerful guns or twice as many cops. I’m really not an expert on this.

I thought I had one but I read everyone else’s first and after each one thought, yeah that would be good. Thank you for making me fully grasp just how inadequate I am. Just sign me up for any of these.

I’m sorry but I feel if you approach the person with the right tactic, you can get them to alter their behavior.

If you’re happy then it seems there really wasn’t a problem in the first place.

Or here’s a thought, put a stop to the thieving.

Sounds like the thief won. Made you change your habits.

I’m with you. They’re literally taking your sustenance. This is way serious.

I once read an article that had ideas for 100 doors. They were clever. One would only open if you knocked on it. Unfortunately that’s the only one I remember, but maybe you could consider others.

Not always. I think the best people think they WON’T be let go and some others who don’t perform, figure they are on the chopping block.

In our case it didn’t matter because they wound up having four rounds of layoffs before shutting that location down entirely. So it really wound up being WHEN you were fired, not IF.

I worked with a guy who’s wife had just had a baby and the baby was sick. The guy was very good at his job but was working from home without really asking permission. We have some leeway in this matter but technically he didn’t clear it. His supervisor really had it in for him and was trying very hard to get him fired for falsifying his time card. I don’t know why he didn’t like him, but the supervisor was a real ass. It may have been racist motivation, but I’m not sure.

I should point out that I had asked this guy to do some work for me that I didn’t have the capability to do and this guy approached it in such a unique way that the customer and some universities were really interested in his work. This is a defense contractor environment where every working hour has to be accounted for. Whenever I asked the guy a question whether via email or telephone, he always responded immediately. It was all computer code so I didn’t see a problem with this.

When he came into work and told me what was going on I immediately contact the manager on his behalf.

Well bottom line is that management pretty much dropped the subject and the supervisor was walked out of the facility. Turns out he had been falsifying his own time card the whole time. How’s that for hypocrisy?

Justice served.

I worked for a company that did just that and it was the best way to do it because a lot of people left on their own.

Yup, I worked for a company that was laying off but they were still hiring because, “they had a hiring policy.” Absolutely nonsensical.

Termite treatment.

Well my favorite cheese is Longhorn Colby and frankly, I don’t care what color it is.

OMG. I was playing today but I don’t know what the hat is called. It has a brim and little holes for air. I guess it’s kind of like a Safari hat.

Try it.
