Somebody get this gentleman another quarter or token so he can go again.

My first impression is that a child wrote it.

Management or not, the older you are, the more opportunities you would have had to understand it's more nuanced than that.

Labor market faces so many issues on both sides between overworked salaried employees, average and minimum wages not keeping up with inflation, decline in education standards putting out lower quality candidates, jobs shifting towards gig and independent contractor positions that punish independence, and so many things. This just comes off as a novice brat who didn't like how they were made to feel.

Similar. I knew exactly who she was, and I knew the answer was going to be a pun, but I was stuck on her actual name. I started trying to think of the punchline just to remember her name, and it finally clicked when I started with camera

For those with a full or partial "huh?"

This is so different industry by industry. Some can build in redundancy to cover employee leave yet still have something to do when everyone is healthy.

For many other companies, particularly in reference to hourly employees, having too many employees in the same position to cover call outs means scheduling gets diluted among them, which leads to lower earnings for all employees and higher turnover.

I pro worker and anti abusive management, but vague generalized posts like these feel disingenuous or at least not well thought out.

I look at AI usage at work as basically taking on a bad but salvageable employee. For every use case, it needs a manager overseeing all their work and adapting to their strengths and weaknesses while also considering cost. It's a deployment problem created by over promising.

I don't really game anymore after having almost a 40 year run. However, I used to regularly recommend going digital only up to several years ago. Then, store delisting started becoming more common and affecting games I previously played, so I completely gave up consoles and retracted all my recommendations.

You had a mission. It was really time to stop browsing and put away the phone to recharge, but you said "No, I must investigate and share!"

Reading fiction was required in my schooling as well. This particular thing doesn't feel that different.

If it moves on to mandating prayer and citing a pledge daily, well that would be a wonderful time for protest or violence.

I've only ever heard Japanese, Chinese, etc. described as tonal languages, not pitch accents.

You're wondering about languages in the Indo-European language group making distinctions between homonyms/homophones by tone. Tone has a different function in those languages, such as expressing inquiry.

In English, syllable emphasis can be used to distinguish between homonyms (verb presENT vs noun PRESent) and would-be homophones (desSERT vs DEsert)

1. Even if not learned through experience, it can also be learned through critical thinking. One could take a moment to ponder why someone is checking the eggs and could easily arrive at the conclusion they're checking for broken ones.

2. Or they could open their mouth without thinking much and say something ignorant to a stranger in the grocery store

3. Or they can demonstrate the greater depths of their ignorance and make a post about it on a social media platform showing they had time to figure it out but couldn't despite it being on their mind the entire time.

Sadly, much of our random interactions and popular public discourse are driven by #2 and #3
