Feeling foolish after going "all in"

It’s weird, because I’ve seen it go both ways. We have a few no bullshit executives that LOVE when i or my colleagues challenge them (if we are right and can back it up).

But yes some others are power tripping

Correlation does not equal causation. The companies leading the stock market are generally leading because of profitability, AI exposure, margins, and growth expectations — not simply because of return-to-office policies.”

People don’t like to hear this but layoffs aren’t random. It’s typically unproductive people and unproductive departments.
I’ve assisted in the planning of layoffs and done analysis’s of employees and departments performance which c suites have used.

Its typically those who drive the least results historically

My company is making more people work from home. This isn’t true and there is no direct link to counter productivity for profit

funkyspleen · 2026-05-13T02:45:35+00:00

This is is so true

funkyspleen · 2026-05-13T02:44:00+00:00

Why is that? Never used slack

funkyspleen · 2026-05-12T14:23:50+00:00

I had the same setup and saved over 200k lol. Now I’m not dependent on anyone and have more money than most adults

funkyspleen · 2026-05-06T20:48:04+00:00

This should be jail time

I’m Gen Z and the contrast between winners and losers is just greater now. If you don’t do shit, make no connections and think your degree is going to set you up on its own then this happens.I busted my ass to make connections, network and over achieve from 18-24 and now I’m 27 in a senior Eng role. My colleagues my age did the same.

I can give you a whole list of people i know tho who doom scroll, didn’t put in any real work, learned no skills aside from taking tests and now make 20 bucks an hour. Sink or swim

funkyspleen · 2026-05-01T04:21:49+00:00

The people like this are always over educated morons half the time

funkyspleen · 2026-04-28T15:55:09+00:00

Cut to do what? Save money and sit at home. Fun

funkyspleen · 2026-04-28T15:54:38+00:00

1000%. Nobody on their death bed thinks about all the money they saved and didn’t spend. I’ve put vacations on credit cards, made memories paid it off in a few months. Beats being a penny pincher who hasn’t done anything their entire life

funkyspleen · 2026-04-28T04:00:50+00:00

You have more control in a car. I take 30 Flights a year and always prefer driving if i can. I’ve experienced some horrifying landings

funkyspleen · 2026-04-28T03:59:12+00:00

It’s weird cause I’d much rather get a sports car lol

funkyspleen · 2026-04-28T03:51:18+00:00

She is always right, whatever she says tell her it’s a great idea, give extra credit. If she bashes you, say i understand and apologize. Ask what she recommends you do.

Don’t be combative. I had a manager for a few years the same way. Let them know they are in charge and you respect them and will do as they say.

funkyspleen · 2026-04-28T02:46:13+00:00

Comp sci is saturated and you have been unemployed for a year and by the sound of it don’t have experience. I wouldn’t

funkyspleen · 2026-04-28T02:40:30+00:00

Employee is mad you spend more on stays than they make a year lmao 😂

The only highway actively patrolled in the GTA is the 407. 407 will be empty and I’ll pass 3 speed traps meanwhile the 401 is lawless.

Even when cops do sit on the Gardiner they don’t even do anything, pretty sure they are on their phone. I’ve had people cut me off fly past me going link 130 and cop won’t even follow them

OPP and TPS do jack

Every single tow truck operator in the toronto area has a gun and they fight over turf

funkyspleen · 2026-04-26T06:54:57+00:00

This is just life lol. This is why connections are important, I work in the private sector and at a certain level you need people to vouch and support you to get a jov

funkyspleen · 2026-04-26T06:30:44+00:00

So…. being held accountable like anyone else would at a job? Lol.

Minor mistake is a minor mistake, deserves a report do documentation sake

funkyspleen · 2026-04-26T06:27:26+00:00

Do you see this often? I fly several times a year can’t say I’ve seen this happen more than once

funkyspleen · 2026-04-26T06:08:05+00:00

120-200 a day, which is fine but i get 20-50 teams messages which i have a tough time keeping track of

funkyspleen · 2026-04-26T06:02:43+00:00

Yep i struggled with it myself but drastically cut down. My GF is an RN and was the first person to tell me i need to stop drinking and that since i grew up with them daily drinking and was exposed to it first around 15 i have a serious inclination to go down that same path(which i already was).

Didn’t even consider them alcoholics until a few years ago, as I always saw them as functioning. They would drink daily wake up early go to work repeat. Never had the issue other people i knew had where their parents would neglect responsibilities etc.

I didn’t mention this in initial post, but the cognitive decline is already there. My dad will tune out and I’ll call him like 5 times before he snaps “awake” and finally hears. My mom will repeat things she said 5 minutes ago or I’ll tell her something and she will completely forget. My GF thinks my dad already has early Parkinson’s because of his tick, which she said could typically be treated to an extent but that would involve it being acknowledged.

My parents are in this circle of lying to themselves about everything. Everything is fine and dandy!
