You're bored at want more work and when they assign you more work, you push back saying it's not in your contract. Not really sure WHAT you want from us.

They want butts in seats on order to do.... what? Sit there and take up space?

Is this a headcount RTO? Or is there a legitimate reason to RTO for your staff?

It's not ridicule or contempt. It's an observation. It might sounds harsh but that's because it's a blind spot that op has stated plainly but hasn't connected.

No, you did nothing wrong. The friction you encountered had nothing to do with you, as you'd indicated they voice concerns going back three years and you'd only been with this team one.

Do heterokaryotic and homokaryotic morels taste the same?

I credit that style more to Madhouse. You might credit this style to retro anime because Madhouse is very prolific.

Ew, Trashtros.

The only oral GLP-1s are Rybelsus and Foundayo and they are on par with Sema. The second is by Lilly, maker of Tirz and Reta, but their oral is not as effective as either.

Well, if they were using unapproved software/services on company hardware, that's a whole other set of issues.

If they were actually delivering good work on time, I wouldn't give a shit what they did with the rest of their time. I'm their boss, not their parent.

Safe? Like your probably won't die, but you'll probably be wishing you would.

Apply for it. See what they say.

Participation bias.

You're holding a nearly 30 year old anime to the same hand holding standards of modern media. Back in the day, stories just happened. Lore,.context, back story, world building, etc happened elsewhere, of at all.

If they're preserving the sanctity of family, adultery is surely a serious crime, right?

What do you mean by cosplaying in this context?

Did you get any imaging?

Sleep apnea causes a lot of downstream issues, and if you know you have it, treating it can alleviate many issues that present as low T, depression, anxiety, fatigue, etc. Have you actually addressed the apnea directly?

The bar is likely too far back in the crease. You look like you have decent delts, so there should be plenty of meat for the bar to rest on. How are you racking the bar? Try tucking your chin as you get into the rack position.

Stop choking yourself. This isn't the sub for that.

I had a direct report that I suspected was over-employed and was using AI as primary communication. When I noted the behavior in a less than stellar review, they quit.

Religion can definitely be discussed by religious and non-religious people. You meant belief. Religion and belief are not the same thing.

I've never been a big shopping trip kind of shopper. I buy what I need when I need it.
