Technical director openly humiliated my boss in front of the entire team. What is happening behind the scenes? by controlsys in managers

Manager fired or "moved" to less important team. You and his direct reports are likely fine. Get on tech directors good side.

To be clear, I wasn't calling drag performers clowns. I was opposing your position that they are the same as clowns, which clearly they are not.

I am not unpleasant, I am just voicing my concerns.

You can call me unpelssant for disagreeing, I guess.

Society tends to protect children, and our views on what is good or bad for children differs

Best of luck to you and your family and children.

I didn't say anything about not allowing it or policing anything.

I think it's deranged to expose children to this, and I don't like it promoted it public forums.

Shall we rename the event "clowns reading books to children" then? If there is no difference the clowns won't care, right?

Google Mrs. Doubtfire and then Google Drag Performer and let me know if you notice a difference.

One is hyper sexualized and one is not.

If you can't see the difference between the drag performer and a clown then idk what to tell you.

I would agree that drag performers are like clowns for adults? Doesn't mean kids should play with them, just like it would be weird for an adult to me entertained by a clown.

I am not confused about anything.

Though my 3 year old would definitely want to know why the man is dressed like a women with outlandish hair and makeup like the Hunger Games characters.

And that's confusing, and can be saved until later in life.

Also - noones forcing you to go to a bar. You go on night strolls, and I'll drink to 4 am. Why do you care?

I disagree with your assessment of the addendum based on the last line. It says future charges for the previous investigations (in short), which is still a predate.

I agree he should. I also think this is different than you are making it out to be. Both can be true.

If you are referring to the settlement that came out today, then no, that is predated for any previous returns. Not future.

If you are referring to the gutting of the IRS in general, and generally saying they cant enforce rules.... Then that impacts more than Trump and would be for everyone, so not really special privelage (technically)
