To the point here: I think people think these managers are in a position of real power. They are not. They are cogs in the wheel as are their subordinates. It's entirely possible this manager wasn't even the one doing the direct ranking, sometimes this roles up to levels beyond where the manager can give real input. Someone has to get pipped as the system demands it, it happened to land on the person in the article. The manager is then trying to get them out of it because they believe they don't actually require the pip.

So this is both a failure of the manager (it is their job to navigate the system and boost their reports during stack ranking), and also a failure of the system as a whole (this person probably shouldn't have been pipped).

I don't think it's so much doublethink as it is this manager is trying to balance competing interests in their very immediate sphere.

Absolutely amazed this isn't littered with ads for supplements. The good ol' days

On a practical level, this may or may not be true depending on the politician.

I haven't seen an actual push for "taxing the super rich" go through. Sanders ran on that and lost. Reality at the moment is that at the moment if what you said is true it wouldn't matter because Americans don't care.

If you don't like the game, you should probably vote for politicians that change the rules. There isn't a real bound on wealth within the system we're in, until that changes this is reality and expecting people who play it to be inherently moral is naive.

Note that Im not stating a judgement either way, just pointing out how the system currently works.

You realize they use the induction burners for something, right?

Or if you're on the Great British Bake Off, where they are very clearly using induction to cook.

I have an induction and the heat has been far more even and controllable than it has on gas. Maybe it has to do with the quality of the burner or of the pans?

Courts seem to believe so? So yeah?

How much do you think it should cost a company when a company allows blatantly racist behavior in the workplace and does nothing about it?

So whats an appropriate amount for a company to pay out when a coworker is called the n-word repeatedly and the company opts to turn a blind eye?

So calling your employees the n-word is ok in Texas?

I've been using DociQL in an automated pipeline and its been handy! Should be easy to give this a go at some point in the near future.

I made a similar change for the introspection url being set dynamically on main line dociql, so good to see it there as well.

I agree. The system in place is to blame, and those people rose because they are just playing the game that is dealt to them.

I'm not so good at the Machievellian political aspect, so I personally opt to leave when I notice behaviors like this are rewarded in the current system. I also wonder if I was able to rise in an organization that functions like this, if I would b the type of person to actually root out that toxicity in the first place.
