Writing down predictions with some weighting for confidence is a great way to find out directly just how goddamned bad humans are at predicting things and how good we are at forgetting all the bad predictions we make.

Or just otherwise forcing yourself to be accountable for your predictions is a great way to moderate your ego.

Haha, it's just for bragging rights.

I manager that invites people in meeting based on how obedient they are, is a bad manager. Multiplied by the number of reports. Fix that.

I didn’t mention obedience, I mentioned pleasantness. Not sure what you’re on about with reports either. You ok?

Normally there should be higher taxes for companies that force work from office when there is no need for that. That is if we really want to be green and also care about the people.

on the other hand, poor people don't fully understand their situation.

Air is no good because it has moisture in it. When you decompress it, it becomes ice, blocking and breaking pipes.

One of those companies sent me a linkedin request with a specific role. I searched on their website and there were very few roles and none like the one they proposed. So they are doing stealth hiring now. You can't let the world know you need people when you are supposed to use AI.

Well before WFH companies did all kinds of social activities for their employees. After 2020, they choose to completely forget about those things.

I always dreaded those social activities. Even when "not mandatory" it was always expected to show up and pretend to have more in common with the peers than "I'm here to do the work and collect a paycheck" anyway.

I dreaded them too. It turns out not having them is even worse.

I went in a shop to see this nonsense with my own eyes,and I almost bought one.

fun fact: if you get some chronic illness, you have good chances to become an idiot. Every time your body stops working in some major way, your thinking is also affected (you become a de facto idiot).
