  Our CEO was a hyper optimist. He didn’t elevate anybody who wasn’t a peppy yes-man.

  I’ve reported directly to the head before. Here’s why they don’t like remote work. These bosses are typically highly narcissist paired with paranoia.

  I think many CEOs thinks like Trump, so let’s work off that. They have narcissism and paranoia. They are highly insecure. They assume the worst and others, but have ridiculously high expectations.

  Trump can’t fathom people doing the right thing for the sake of it. He has never done a thing that didn’t benefit him. He can’t imagine not cheating someone given a chance. He’s cheated every single time.

  My CEO was highly paranoid. He decided to setup cameras anywhere. He started confronting employees who left early or arrived later not understanding that everybody doesn’t arrive or leave the office at the same time. Even though the company needed focus on the agenda, he spent most of his time stalking employees.

  When I was confronted for leaving early, I had to explain that I’m still working while making a delivery on my way home, or that it’s okay for me to be late if the first thing I do when I wake up is to respond to urgent emails and make important calls. This resulted in retaliatory pay cuts, so I quit. Of course, the business could not afford to lose me, so now I do contract work for more than double per hour and found a new job that treats everyone a lot better.

  These people are truly detached from reality. Their poisoned brains prevent them from understanding basic human nature. The only side of human nature they understand is how people bend over for money. They’re control freaks.

  Keeping you in office means they have the ability to pressure you. Emotional manipulation through micro management or unreasonable expectations. They know that at home, they can’t see you squirm. At work, you’re not safe, but at home, you are.

  You count just say you disagree and explain why it upset you.

  Hear me out. You’re villainizing me because what I said struck a nerve. You don’t actually believe I want you dead. You’re just upset that I pointed out a deep flaw. Maybe it’s an insecurity, or cognitive dissonance, or whatever. I’m very familiar with this type of response. Whatever it is, realize that someone likely depends on you and that an unhealthy lifestyle is not good for them. I’m encouraging you to do better, if not for yourself, the people in your life you care for. I recognize my ignorance. I’m not a therapist. I’m just stating something I’ve personally observed.

  Look. Shitty doctors exist, but when 1/3 of the US is overweight, there are underlying issues that need addressing. I only hear horror stories when an addict, alcoholic, or overweight individual in my life is feeling insecure or defensive about a prognosis. Too many people deflect and it’s enabling a much larger issues. Our basic instincts are being exploited.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨doctors⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Got a lot to say but I’ll keep it brief-ish. Corporations love unhealthy people. They will artificially celebrate this and reinforce unhealthy lifestyles. This extends beyond weight.

  Once entrapped, escape is hard. Some are passive and depressed. Some are dismissive and defensive. No matter which cycle you are in, it’s unhealthy.

  I think smoking is bad like I think being overweight is bad. If a doctor says alcohol is killing you, it probably is. I don’t think hatred is deserved, but don’t expect any validation for those choices.

  Failure to train my ass. Those bastards are completely aware of what they are doing to these women and taking advantage of their own authority. This country would rather see these pigs kill their house pets and sexually molest their own kids before ever demanding a shred of accountability. We’ve all seen the type of shit that gets posted to bad cop no donut on the daily. The benefits to working that kind of job is bound to continue attracting more assholes.

  Crazy how ethics work. Like a pig might be more physically and mentally capable than an individual in a vegetative state, but we place more value on the person. I’m no vegan, but I can see the contradiction here. When we generalize, it’s done so for a purpose, but these assumptions can only be applied to a certain extent before they’ve exhausted their utility. Whether it’s a biological system or an electrical circuit, there is no godly commandment that inherently defines or places value on human life.
