Oh that's not a big deal so long as you refuse to look in the direction of the open bathroom door. Everyone knows that!

Well no...that would be weird.

Sounds like someone got promoted to a high position. If I'm right it's the typical "New Manager Must Make Waves To Prove They Belong" level of stupid unique to corporate.

I just want to point out that this is typical. Even when we're blaming someone or something for all the bullshit we still can't agree.

ADHD would like a word.

Just watch me insert caffeine straight into my veins and also take a nap within 10 minutes.

If it's "more of the same" I'd like the sane ones to win. Y'know, just in case.

This is an actualized response. In the moment a lot of people can't pull this off, it does take practice. You're right, of course, this is better...I just wish people would more commonly be willing to ask a clarifying question or two before pulling out the butcher's knife.

Some folks just aren't good with their words and may otherwise be great people. In this situation, true or not, they were talking for some time. I think that level of interaction is worth some benefit of the doubt and the tiniest bit of patience. Instead, despite hitting it off and having a great conversation, shallow lady over there judges him by a single moment amongst probably a dozen leading up to it.

...but that is how it goes. That's the game. It's all just a bit silly though.

I'm fine with internal preselected individuals getting positions and promotions. What is universally disliked is us also getting interviews only to find out later they were a waste of time for this exact reason.

I'd post a summary, though with these it is often best to go a little more in-depth than some tldr on the subject. Long story short, Trump represents Narcissism and Histrionic, maybe BPD. I'll be honest, I've kept my distance from watching him. Someone else with more screen time, or more knowledge, feel free to chime in with corrections.

DO allow them to go through a lengthy process, complete with a mountain of precise paperwork, and a committee chosen by their peers, on both sides of the aisle, to accept any form of donation.

Why?

Cause they're gonna find a way anyway. That or literally just give them excellent benefits that basically equal the recent Thomas bullshit.

Basically I'm searching for other ways to reduce these issues to a minimum long term.

Pokemon effectively makes them all the money they need and all they need to do is sick one of the rabid lawyers they keep in the basement on anyone even remotely infringing upon what they think they own.

They're like a litigation equivalent to McDonald's land ownership twist to company financial equivalency.

That is shit, but also just a little funny.

Then again I love Dark Souls so this may just be the ptsd talking.
