Groupthink

That's kind of the contacts I was trying to explain to Butters in that neither you nor the person that you are carrying has any say in whether that person is hired or retained.

it sounds like your organization does have a good method for calling the rejects you just simply sabotage undermine them cause them to fail and then get them fired. Seems like a lot of unnecessary extra steps but you got to do what you got to do to clean up the place.

Fight the power!

as a manager in the UK, i simply took on the people best suited to the all-round fit of the position. despite them being volunteers, there was still shedloads of intrusive and, quite frankly annoying-to-the-applicants paperwork, and then background/qualifications checks, referee checks, training, support, goals, personal development, company policy training/insurances etc..., etc..., etc.... I worked in the charity sector, in retail, and was responsible for up to 20 members of staff at any given time, covering for when they didn't show up, and managing 2 of the outlets of the latest company i worked for.

equality across the spectrum was a byword, not something I had to think about.

That is as it should be. The person that is going to have to actually deal with and supervise the employees should always be the one hiring. But I'm not kidding it doesn't work that way hardly ever in America maybe in a small place like a fast food place if it's one off and independently owned and operated the manager might do the actual hiring but even your local McDonalds is usually owned by a conglomerate that owns 8 or 10 of them and the hiring is done by corporate and the new employees just show up.

The nice thing about those kind of jobs though is that with the high turnover rate if you hate an employee he's not going to be there tomorrow anyway probably. He's just not going to show up at some point if you like them you'll make allowances for the ones that don't show up all the time.

i'll be joining the workforce soon, but given my age i'm now looking for something to fit my other skills in admin/office - let someone else worry about the rotas, holiday cover, training and all that jazz. i pretty much want to do a (good) job for whoever hires me and forget about it when i leave the premises.

Naw, the Colonel is a default kind of guy...



It is default of Bidin~Time that he did not answer the question.
 
You know what we suddenly stopped talking about?



The Russian Groupthink. I wonder why?



Don't worry, I'm just trying to get to page four, but it is nice to know how fucking important a phone call is to the group...
 
Hey Zeus Christo...

:(

I have to drag this one over the line all by myself.


Viggo Tarasov: It's not what you did, son, that angers me so. It's who you did it to.
Iosef Tarasov: Who? That fucking nobody?
Viggo Tarasov: That "fuckin' nobody"... is John Wick. He once was an associate of ours. They call him "Baba Yaga."
Iosef Tarasov: The Boogeyman?
Viggo Tarasov: Well John wasn't exactly the Boogeyman. He was the one you sent to kill the fucking Boogeyman.
Iosef Tarasov: [stunned] Oh.
 
Just pull the body from the Neva and burn it!

Better late than Neva.
 
This has to be ready when the Colonel wakes up at 4AM and is heading to Denny's...


:D :D :D


The Roman Emperor Caligula is renowned for his sadistic, debauched rule of ancient Rome that led to his assassination after just four years in power. Now Italian and American authorities are wondering how a piece of his decadent lifestyle — an elaborate inlaid marble mosaic from one of his ceremonial ships — wound up as a coffee table on Manhattan's Upper East Side.
To antiques dealer Helen Fioratti it's quite simple: She and her husband Nereo, an Italian journalist, bought the antiquity more than 45 years ago from an Italian aristocratic family, who lived on the shores of Lake Nemi. “It was found in the waters of the lake in the 19th century,” Fioratti said in a phone interview, although she said she didn't know who originally discovered it.

By the time the couple came to purchase the object in the 1960s she said they had no reason to question the ownership. “They thought they owned it. We thought they owned it. Everyone thought they owned it."

But the Italian military police's Art Recovery Unit, which isresponsible for recovering looted artifacts, says the antiquity made of porphyry cobbles configured in a colorful geometric pattern dates back to Caligula's reign, 37- 41 A.D., and is believed to have been part of the flooring of one of the notorious emperor's two pleasure ships. Described as “floating palaces” by the Museum of Roman Ships, which houses the remnants of the vessels, they were famous for their opulence and are believed to have been the site of wild parties that lasted for days.
