Amazon cloud boss says employees unhappy with 5-day office mandate can leave
  • DandomRude DandomRude 2d ago 100%

    Absolutely right. But the thing is that many so-called leaders will no longer have a raison d'être if there are no more unnecessary meetings and all that fuss. Many of them do nothing all day but sit in meetings, achieve nothing and still feel very important. That's the misery of the world of work: it's not usually the best who get into management positions, it's not the most qualified and certainly not the ones who work the hardest. It's the most unscrupulous, those who pass off the work of others as their own, people who would never achieve anything on their own or in a small company that can't afford to waste salaries on froth-mongers. LinkedIn makes it clear how this all works, I think: there, too, it is not the competent people who really understand their work who have the most success, it is the busybodies, the networkers and narcissists. If the competent people set the tone, there would be no discussion about office duties in an IT company. It's only held on to so that managers can live out their fantasies of omnipotence and post nonsense on LinkedIn.

    I'm just trying to suggest a somewhat reasonable solution. I don't think Israel could afford to keep this inhumane war going if they didn't have the support of the US. Let us also not forget that it was radical right-wing Zionists who assassinated Yitzchak Rabin, the Israeli politician who first credibly promised peace in the region. What I want to say is this: Violence and hatred cannot be a solution - this only leads to more violence and more hatred, more misery and more suffering.

    I did not frame this at all. I just quoted Biden and said that in the light of this quote from just a few days ago I couldn't understand ("WTF") why he is sending additional troops. Please don't pin this on me. I get that you are trying to fight the good fight here (I agree that it would be awful for the whole world if Trump would win). I'm just saying that this is a bad move by Biden because deploying even more troops in support of Israel is not just morally wrong (that was my point as an observer from europe) it's also very bad PR - that's what I think at least, because I think the majority of sane Us-citizenens don't want to have any part in the inhumane actions of the Israeli Government.

    What misinformation? I said: Biden said he "criticizes" Israels attacks on UN peacekeepers and - still - he sends additional troops to Israel just a few day later. These are just facts.

    What do you want me to say? With a view to the US election campaign, I'm glad to say: Vote for Harris/Walz! The apparent alternative Trump/Vance would be much worse even in this matter. I have no problem to say that because it's true. That does not mean that you are fighting a just cause here - on the contrary. It just means that your political system is in shambles and that your moral compass if way off.

    Absolutely. However, there is no need to destroy anyone. It would be enough for the US to give up its unconditional support for the Netanyahu regime. Then Netanyahu would be voted out and would go to prison for corruption in his own country.

    The thing is that Israel was never attacked in a military sense. It was a terrible terrorist attack, that much is true. Israel retaliated - not only against those responsible, but above all against the Palestinian civilian population. The number of victims is simply disproportionate: the attack on October 7, 2023 claimed 1,200 lives; Israel has now killed more than 40,000 Palestinians (this is a conservative estimate). There is no longer any danger for Israel - and in terms of its military superiority, there hasn't been any for the last 20 years. Lebanon is only marginally involved in all this. Hezbollah is not Hamas. I don't want to go too far with all the his. It's simple: what Israel is doing is wrong on any moral scale. Anyone who doesn't see that is grossly misinformed.

    Gtfo. If you need to play wargames maybe send some more support to Ukraine instead.

    I am not a US citizen. My point is not that US troops are being deployed, but that this is a war of aggression that contradicts international law. The US should not support this - not in any way.

    There are 100 more US soldiers deployed, aren't there? I'm not a US citizen, but I still wonder why more troops are needed to help Israel in an war of aggression that violates international law.

    I know that I know nothing, said Socrates thousands of years ago. So I'd say it's beyond clever to teach yourself things and learn from your experiences. That is very smart in my book.

    US President Joe Biden has said he is "absolutely, positively" urging Israel to stop firing at UN peacekeepers during its conflict with Hezbollah in Lebanon, following two incidents in 48 hours. Source

    Some hours later: Biden absolutely, positively sends troops to help Israel out. WTF...

    It could easily have been the same for me, as my father is a Protestant pastor. Fortunately, my family has always been very tolerant and open-minded. That's how my parents brought me up, for which I'm still very grateful to them today. It's good to hear that you've found your own path, which certainly wasn't easy. Respect, my friend.
