Can't invest in your human resources when you're only looking at maximizing quarterly profits.
human resources (department) is for punishing the human resources (employees).
That's because hr was invented to be the company "alternative" to a union
HR are just a department for complaints to disappear into. Just there so people can log a problem to someone and to repeat the companies “propaganda”
Reminds me of Better Off Ted, don’t know why that show was ever cancelled.
The network didn't promote it that much, and the show creator also gave an interview saying he also believes they didn't get the best time slot to build viewers over time.
Thought theft affects thousands of employers every day. They're not paying you to figure out who's going to find your body after you kill yourself. They're paying you to work!

I just recently reorganized my apartment and I hadn't realized in the midst of it that a lot of the stuff I was doing was with the mentality of removing any inconveniences or potentially confusing situations in case someone enters my apartment if I decided to commit suicide.
That was a very sobering moment...
As someone who has been in that exact same position, be cautious about organisation choices that seem like they'd be beneficial regardless of whether you live, but actually make it easier to die than live.
For me, it was the way that I stored my craft and hobby stuff - I made them tidier and more but in practice, harder to access. I did it this way because I wasn't actually using my hobby stuff, so they were just in the way. However, part of why I was so passively suicidal was because of the gradual atrophy of all the things that used made me happy, so by tidying away my tools, I was just digging myself deeper.
What I'm saying is that living, and life, is messy. Having a clear out can be good and productive, especially if you're not in a great place, because it can reveal things that aren't working for you now, but try not to make the same mistake I did. With the new space freed up by your organisation efforts, look over your stuff again and consider whether there's anything you could put in a more accessible place to reduce the activation energy of starting. I put some of my crochet stuff near my computer so I can do it while I'm in meetings, for example.
Oh dear 😥
I swear, if I could afford just a good 2 or so years long break to stabilize my life, I would actually be able to do good and effective work. Instead I feel like I am always just barely scraping by at the edge of my ability, due to being overworked and burnt out.
Amen.
Forget 2 years, I'd be happy with 2 months lol it's always a race to the bottom :(
The capitalism chair sounds kinda bdsm-y lol.
Nah its just killing you. Electrocution means you die. If the chair shocked you thats bdsm-y
Chairs? What luxury.
Another good idea to motivate workers is, if possible, rotate responsibilities each day.
Or: Give the workers all they could ever want, so they just continue to work and never want to go home.
