It wasn't primary work hours either.
What is your wisdom?

Phones are nice.....until you walk into a decent sized building, and are down to Statrum-4. Good luck when its a week later and you're already a half a second off! (evil laugh)
You just described a branch prediction miss in Computing.... except in analog form
But your parents only let you get a few games per year, and you had to make the ones you had last. And you couldn't trust them to pick one up for you, because they'll just pick the cheapest one, and that game usually sucks bad.
But that also means my BluRay collection of Jojo is worth even more, because I leave it running in the background while I do other things. Doubling my value metrics, and driving down cost on ROI
Unless its a multiplayer game, and they shut down the servers 12-15 months later.
But the one highlight at the end where the Chef is gets called out, and is requested to make a simple cheese burger and fries.
"The Menu" about a couple going to some ultra exclusive avant-garde restaurant, run by exactly the kind of pretentious Chef you'd expect from the description. Where each serving is some kind of uptight "art piece" steeped in a multitude of "meanings" to "shock and challenge" the guests. The whole movie is a twisted dark comedy that critiques "fine dining" and the many personalities that surround the space.
Paying orders of magnitude more for a display, to project wealth, as opposed to paying for a better meal. I've occasionally found hole in the wall run by retired chefs. Where the food is fantastic, but at a fraction of the price of a high end restaurant. If the meal is expensive, its because the ingredients were costly. If you go to a fancy place, you're going for the atmosphere. But if the food doesn't taste exceptional, whats the point in going? (unless you're just showing off)
Its about making a show of things. Its like when bar tenders flip bottles. Its still just booze, but now its booze and show. Unto itself its not a problem; Teppanyaki places do the acrobatics things all the time. However, it becomes a problem when it turns into a substitute for something. Avant Gard, and its obtuse nature, being deified by rich people who have to feel like everything they do must be superior to normal people.
I read that as a checklist of boomer traits, except they forgot to mention dunning-kruger
They wouldn't get half way through before Scotland and Florida decide to team up and take over Britain. Where did they get the Zebras from? No idea.... But Floridaman found a way.
What happens next is usually dependent on personality and goals. Some will politic, some will just maintain if comfortable enough, some will leave at the first better opportunity, and a fair amount just hang on until they crack. What companies need to learn is that actively cranking up the pressure is the best way to turn a passive/complacent worker into one willing to let the whole place burn, by letting bad management run its course. Because if they like you, they'll try to salvage it
Adding to this, depending on industry type, competent workers will sometimes (or often) try to avoid management positions if possible, due to increased workload and responsibilities; but poor compensation in return. Low level positions tend to look for promotions or vertical/lateral movement to be better compensated (usually pay and benefits). If they experience too much difficulty in doing that, or the compensation is poor, they'll usually look to hold a spot until pressure increases.
As a aggregate result, competent workers get passed up for promotions, because that might alter existing productivity negatively. Its a dumb premise in general, but something I see often enough in large corporate structures. Promotions aren't seen as value added in terms of employee as an asset, because they'll stop doing the thing that makes money. But they are seen as retention and reward tools for leadership, because someone is going to claim credit for managing the project that succeeded
2. Upper Management tends to be so disconnected from reality on the floor, that they hate it when someone tells them a decision they made was a mistake, is a bad idea, or anything that might challenge their authority. 3. This leads to a "yesman" mentality in mid-level management, and where the majority of office politicking happens. If any rivalry exists, is usually between department heads vying for higher positions. Aka you brown nose "your" boss, and sabotage your competition.
1. If they're managing, they aren't working on "production" or whatever it is that the workers do that results in profits.
how big are they now?
Or learning Necromancy from Magic cards
Hey! The ratio of authentic bovine protein is well within acceptable tolerance.
When my ancestors crossed the Delaware, they did so in the hopes that one day their descendants would no longer have to flip the burgers of ham at ye local pub. Labor paid but a pittance, unable to afford a daily ale in the same establishment by which they worked.
He might know what a Cement Mixer is
We had paper cartons when I was a kid, and never never reseal once opened. And those were always good longer than my paranoid kid brain would allow for.
Chicago, thats what kind.
Normal people just had kids.
Or just use an oven......
