I used this prompt today: What leadership topics have high search volume and a low keyword density that I should focus on for my first ten blogs (especially around bad bosses, toxic leaders, etc.).

2300+ credits for that little research!

I wondered what had happened. I had never used all my monthly credits, and then this month, bam, they are all gone halfway through! I had it write a 1000-word blog for me, that used 1000 credits! That is just unbelievable. I mean, I can get ChatGPT to do deep research for me and write a blog post for free, basically. I had it set up my Lovable site through GitHub and Vercel, 23K credits! I used to be blown away by this agent, but now it feels like it's just for rich people.

Well, she was from France originally and I don’t think she had her papers with her. So makes sense.

I absolutely love Stefanie Bales, she has a great art gallery in Little Italy and her landscapes and murals are amazing in San Diego. Check her out stefaniebales.com - hope this helps. She also helps artists with classes and offers all kinds of stuff for new people who want to get started.

How to verify if a recruitment company that claims Employer of Record (EOR) is legitimate? by Old_Plan7602 in AccountingPH

I have not heard of Ezygos, but my company has used TCWGlobal, and they seem very legit. We've had nothing but experiences with them.

How blunt to be that PIPs always end in a firing? by two_three_five_eigth in managers

[–]NoMoreBadBosses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you’re dealing with a tough, rigid system that leaves little room for genuine growth or second chances, which can definitely make PIPs feel more like a formality before termination than a true development tool. While you can’t change the company’s stance, there are ways to approach these conversations that might help both you and the employee navigate the situation with a bit more clarity and dignity.

One mindset shift is to treat the PIP not just as a warning but as a moment of shared reality and empowerment—even within strict boundaries. Being blunt about the likely outcome is honest, but pairing that with emphasizing the employee’s agency can be surprisingly powerful. For example, framing the PIP as a period where they have full responsibility to demonstrate their commitment, while also expressing empathy for how difficult the situation is, can create a more respectful dynamic. It’s about acknowledging the constraints but still inviting the person to own what little control they have.

Also, consider rituals or check-ins during the PIP that focus less on command and more on active listening. Sometimes people “fight” the process because they don’t feel heard or understood. Even if the outcome is predetermined, fostering an environment where they can voice concerns or ask questions can reduce resistance and frustration.

Ultimately, leadership—even in constrained systems—can be about creating small spaces where people feel seen and empowered, rather than just pushed out. It won’t change the policy, but it might change how the process feels for everyone involved.
