I was wondering how long it would be before that pic showed up here.

Ok, I just cackled. I've never cackled before. Thanks for that.

Sorry for forgetting to reference, mah bad. I present to you landlubbers: The Devil Ray

I mean, he's a comedian by trade, and yet he's been stoic and sober for all this time in the horrific onslaught of war against his people.

Can you imgine the sheer will power it requires NOT to troll Putin as absolutely as hard as he is capable?

I for one, welcome 'Dark Volodymyr'.

Thanks! Even through these are supposed to be shitposts, I learn something new about military history almost everyday in this sub.

This is what cracks me up:

The Democrats are both ominously powerful and painfully ineffective at the same time. Even of the January 6th rioters, only the criminally stupid died, and most got a slap on the wrist.

Given Russia's rate of fuckups and bombing it's own (native) territory, I'm here to gamble on Putin's potentially glorious self-own.

If it turns out I'm wrong? Well, it's been fun hanging out with ya, fellas o/

Corporate pushback. C-Levels love to go on nationwide travel tours "visiting our campuses" - never mind how much in real estate ownership/leases costs the company.

My current company is hybrid, as we have a sales team that loves to spin ideas off each other in-person, so I get that. My office was just about to expand to a new floor when covid hit. The sales team got hit with covid pretty bad, as all the customer conferences during that period were in California when covid started really spreading fast. Everyone made out okay, but most of the teams were young with families and this spooked a lot of folks. We're a startup, so all decisions were handled locally and quickly, and coming to campus was strictly optional. Once the worst was over, folks that liked the office culture are back there, without mandates, either way. We can actually hire remotely now, and not be "siloed" into hiring talent that's local or has to be paid to re-locate.

My team's particular role is a perfect fit for remote work, and we're 24/7 so we can "follow the sun" for our customers, so it works for the various different teams. We meet on a 24-hour "Perma-Zoom", share screens for training and presentations. In emergencies customer can call into are lines nd we pick it up in zoom and handle the needfuls. Customers that want to see our offices can still do so, we announce the visit, and local remote folks gladly flock in that day because there's food everywhere for the vsiting diginitaries.

I work three states away from the office and used to visit quarterly, now about twice a year. Other than the crazy amount of snacks in the physical office that we miss, it's a good fit. I think if many companies looked at the money they save in physical office costs, they'd give up this "butts in seats" mandate metric that they think equals "success."

Dear C-Levels: Do what works organically for your company culture, but seriously keep an open mind to what works for your staff - happier workers are more productive, have less turnover (and thus less training costs for constantly new employees) more knowledge retention about past mistakes and successes and how not to repeat bad strategies. Happier staffers offer more engagement in the company's overall success.

The glasses are perfect, and the approval from Reznikov, awesome!
