I’m a huge fan of embrace the suck and cut slingload

Co-founder and former CEO of Twitter. So, kind of like: the chiX have come home to twit

It’s a self made recession by the corporations themselves. A thousand employees don’t matter to their bottom line.

If preparing for a recession is to blame here, then why at the same time are the Starbucks board giving the CEO $96 million buckadoos?

Again: we do not have to allow this. We do not have to allow “shit-work” companies to compete in our markets, where they drive reasonable, responsible employers out of business.

Well put and logical. Taking this thanks.

I trust you know this person well and that your experience is accurate.

However, you might find it useful to look up coping mechanisms in dealing with someone with OCPD. OCPD is extremely common and people with this personality disorder usually are extremely miserly and controlling. I’m not saying your person has this disorder. But from your story, the issues with money align closely enough that the tools people use in dealing with OCPD miserliness might help you. Or at the very least it might help you feel less alone in that experience.

I’m really sorry you are having to manage that and deal with this person. You sound like a very reasonable and empathetic person yourself. Please do something small and kind for yourself tomorrow. ❤️

How the fuck isn’t this stuff against business laws. How does this not break the fiduciary duty by self-dealing?

If what you’re saying is accurate then he’s a pro at creating parallel evidence.

Who am I kidding? Anyone who could bring a suit against the CEO probably doesn’t care.
