I had a dream last night where Click was operating a hospital in the middle of the highway. Surprisingly well kept for all the cars that were coming through it.

My favorite phrase about low bars is this:
"The bar was so low, its a tripping hazzard in hell. And yet here I find you, limbo dancing with the devil."

A wise employer once told me:

"Look at all this company I own, it all values less than one finger from your hand, I'd rather you tell me you don't feel well and take the rest of day off, than make a mistake and lose a finger!" It was a job involving carrying heavy stuff and team work!

It was the first time I met a person who valued his workers more than hitting a daily quota, of course clients are important, but if you lose a worker because they weren't in a good state of mind or a client demanded we serve them faster is the worse outcome!

"Money doesn't buy happiness" is the biggest lie I've ever seen on there.

Money does buy food, housing, medical care, security, the ability to change jobs or take time off. It very much does buy happiness.
The only people who say that already are rich. Its either them trying to make themselves feel less guilty, or its a gaslight on the working class to stop us for fighting for better wages.

There are actually studies that suggest that children learn more by example of their parents than by how they are treated. So basically, you can spoil your kid a bit and it won't turn out a spoiled brat as long as you don't behave like a spoiled brat. Vice versa, not showing care for others is more likely to make your kid be an asshole than spoiling them a little.

Being a LinkedIn influencer is probably worse than being a hardcore reddit mod

The guy who went "homeless" also had the knowledge that it was for one year maximum. The fear and crushing reality of trying to survive each day is different when there's no clear end in sight. There's a high risk of dying from harsh temperatures in the summer or winter, as well as many infectious diseases and possible starvation.

Also, this guy chose to be "homeless". Most people don't have that as their plan; they skip meals to cover rent, save money by not paying for bills and medication, and pawn of possessions until there's nothing left. Or they get kicked out of their homes. People don't become homeless with a plan and it's tough to adapt when you're already physically and emotionally drained from trying to make ends meet for weeks/months/years. The longer someone is homeless, the tougher it is to get out of it as support networks disappear (except other homeless people). A lot even get homes for a short time, through things like dating apps (which is risky but what you gonna do in that situation); but a break up means being homeless again which is another knock to confidence.

Here in the UK the YMCA provides medium-term temporary housing, because without an address people usually can't have a bank account or apply for a job. And even then, the scale of the problem won't get fixed with these initiatives alone.

The amount of "I saved my company thousands, then got written up, because it was not in the company plan" I've seen is just sad.

[Fairiegurl]

The part that annoys me the most about these "I save my company money by cooking at the hotel" stories is that it won't actually get you recognized long term. They act like they're doing a service to their company and showing loyalty, but they're really only showing how much they don't value themselves as their own biggest asset. A good employee knows how to take advantage of privileges and benefits without over stepping because those are part of your compensation for working for the company. Not using them only shows the higher ups that you're willing to undersell yourself for minor gains. Of course that'll lead to a promotion short term, but it's actually shooting both your feet in the long term. Value yourself -- no one else will.

There's a couple of things that guy's twitter thread failed to mention about Mike the Millionair: He didn't spend one night "homeless". He was offered the RV on his first day. His "business model" involved taking free stuff from Craigslist and selling it for profit (not illegal, but if the original owners knew what he was doing and why, would they have been happy?)
He rented a house and moved in with room-mates, however, he used someone else's ID to secure the property and charged his cohabiters such high rent that he lived there for free. the rent thing is shitty, but not illegal. However, using a stranger's ID to obtain goods or services is FRAUD.
I think anyone can become a millionaire inside of a year if committing crime is an option, provided you don't get caught of course...

Dude who struggled to "prove" that "anyone" could make $1M from "nothing" was only able to make $65k _by using the connections he had when wealthy_ -- which is exactly how "meritocracy" works. It's "we who have all the networking and connections _deserve_ more because we're entitled to the advantage of or social position and history." It's particularly endemic on LinkedIn, where the advice is almost _always_ some variation on "all you have to do is know the right people and be in the right circles, if you can't do that then you're hopeless." (Well, that or a variation on "be neurotypical, and if you're not neurotypical just try harder to be neurotypical.")

Omg so i had a coworker who slacked off a ton at work, and i figured out why when i was in the break room, complaining about tax season coming up, she looked at me and said, with a percectly straight face "if your so worried about money, just have your parents pay it" i was frankly horrified and after some more questioning, i learned that she was 24 years old, and has never paid a bill, like, at all. It made me genuinely sick

I think the best part about the "what" is the person it came from is a doctor in physics who graduated from Princeton lmao

[rocketpsyence]

The thing with the rich guy pretending to be homeless is he isn't acknowledging the help he received. How would he be faring if someone hadn't let him crash in their RV? Having shelter - a place to shower and be out of the elements and keep your stuff from getting stolen- is a HUGE factor in being able to survive and hold down any sort of regular work

[insu_na]

that twitter thread about the millionaire who "gave up his money to become homeless and start again" left out some very crucial details...
For one: He was leveraging his companies/wealth for getting credits. I think he was able to get a $20k loan with almost no questions asked, but it might've also "just" been $10k, I don't fully remember. In addition to that the business he started with that money was basically a scam business, he hooked a lot of customers and never sent them the product he promised, instead just repackaged some other things

[nola]

I've taken an entire week off before because I was sick. When I got back everyone was happy because I do my job well. My manager took an entire month off, no one even knew she was gone because she's rarely there anyway. Big difference.

Click: I love the smell of success and money in the Morning!
Also Click: Good evening!

[ЄлизаветаВіноградова]

The ballet kid one made my whole week, the way he added “She did a pirouette and vanished” made me laugh so hard, Click’s dead serious voice definitely added to it 😭
