No, it’s why I commented: you have authority over people, and you don’t seem to be seeking understanding, because of your own experience with the disorder.

In some areas and circumstances, your response can be problematic. You didn’t say what you do besides mentally rolling your eyes, but as an example: management ignoring an employee sharing a recognized disorder and requesting reasonable accommodation is the basic premise for a lawsuit.

I’m not saying this is happening here, but this is the kind of scenario management needs to be aware of and prepared for, specifically.

More generally, I would hope managers would be empathetic, but I also understand that this is rarely to never on the job description.

Edit: I see in another part of the thread that you seem to know all this, so nevermind. But I’ll leave this for others to understand that there is a responsibility, here.

Perhaps you should not be a manager beyond rote supervisory responsibilities if you cannot understand this aspect of people.

This is the system. I was a juror in a trial against Oakland where they were found to have been doing this - well over a decade ago. Oakland’s police department in particular has been in disarray for a very long time.

Employees in any profession are going to test boundaries and see what they can get away with. There was a similar report of a BART employee racking up incredible overtime as well.

It’s ultimately whatever the system permits.

Corporations don’t need to, no. But they are systems, and it’s a beginner mistake to assume changing one part is going to affect the whole in some simple, predictable, logical way.

Precisely. RoS turned TLJ into a mistake. A different sequel could have paid things off. Maybe.

It’s, what, 25 years old? There have been many sequels, prequels, remastering. The economic benefits of this IP are largely exhausted; that it is now leaked to the commons isn’t an alarming thing.

I have to go with The Birdcage. Just a silly movie, with Hackman playing a rather timeless portrayal of a politician. The meandering story about “purple mountains” always gets me for some reason.

Now imagine how the administration might deport 20 million “illegal aliens”, as they’ve promised.

Many would be adjacent to the new ruler. The startup shutters but the VP of Engineering is already starting something new with his old reports.

The point still stands that the choice of response should be appropriate, and there are several choices between inaction and deployment of the military.

I don’t disagree, but man, a lot of “this will not happen” is happening.

Precisely. There’s no wisdom in the approach. “I’ll try refactoring - that’s a good trick!” is a poor approach.

You can try it, but the consequences of a poor refactoring? Look to the planned economies and five year plans.

The government is not a codebase; that mistakes its artifacts for its process. And the importance of process - in politics, in government - cannot be overstated.

What you have here is essentially a tragedy.

I totally sympathize with the author as someone who is (probably) neurodivergent but had accommodating parents. Being given space to better understand myself and my value was integral to my success and in being ok being different.

But as a dad to a neurodivergent kid, I impose structure - sometimes to discomfort, never intentionally to pain - because structure is imposed upon us all. I mean, if I could stop time, that would fix most of the issues with my kid’s ADHD. Same if I could make less the impositions of having to do chores, or to eat, sleep, bathe. But there is no easy escape from those things. So, I impose, despite not wanting to, because the imposition is coming anyway.
