God damn, Americans are so fucking stupid.

Or, hear me out, stop fucking overusing antibiotics as everyone and their livestock will be using this I’m sure.

As a required reviewer on a lot of things, I envy that bear so, so much.

"Oh hey, thanks to you and your team for working all that overtime these past few months to make sure the project was done on-time and turning this potential loss of a client around.

However, we noticed that you and your team didn’t run enough during these months so we’re going to have to dock your bonus for the year but thanks for all of your hard work for the company."

But yeah, just don’t take the bonus.

Okay…and no where did I advocate that running is the only thing anyone can do.

Dude asked for an opinion of why a person would love running and so I gave one. No need to get all defensive, take it down a notch there.

Again, no because a bonus is based on your performance at work, how you coworkers performed, how you all performed together at work and unless your work was directly related to you and your team running and even then you’d be running on company time.

A person running has fuck all to do with performance at work and thinking about it more especially more with the various people I have and do work with, I find myself thinking how this really is an assinine idea that is not only a overstep into community script territory but also could be a very shitty thing for employee morale.

I personally love running because it’s a time where I can just let my mind wander, reflect, or just have it go blank.

Plus it also helps when your half marathon path ended at the brewery where you have a tab.

This screams I’m a complete moron that can’t understand or have a intellectual discussion over a topic so I’ll just do a dumbass ad hominem attack.

No they are not. A bonus is for your performance at work and when I run it’s on my own damn time.

IDGAF how much of a bonus it is, 30% is all fine and dandy but again, if they aren’t letting employees run on company time or paying employees for the time while they run during their off hours, then it’s still a fuck no from me and it’s complete bullshit to base a performance based bonus on you doing shit on your off time.

But hey, if you like having your company keeping tabs on how much you run vs how well you actually do at work for your bonus, I guess good for you, just not my cup of tea.

Unless the company is going to allow me to run in company time or pay me my base pay plus overtime on top of the bonus that’s a hard fuck no from me.

Company wants my time, they better damn well pay for it.

ETA. Thinking about it more, nah this whole running for your bonus is bullshit and I wouldn’t do it even if they paid me overtime since running/exercising unless your job is directly related to it, running has nothing to do with work performance which the bonus is based on.

I mean okay but just like the US, you get what you voted for.

They make plenty of parts that don’t have LEDs and even then most of them have the option to turn them off.

My entire system i built just a few years ago has no LEDs that are on but I still love the clear window into the system, let’s me know when to clean it.

Or do you just want to continue to yell at clouds?

Literally way too late for that and forced relocation was one of the myriad of reasons why this bullshit keeps happening.

N95 is the minimum, p100 with organic vapor filter will be better, to get the best you coverage you’ll need a p100 with a multi gas charcoal filter.

With the p100, your looking at a half mask respirator, which I did use during the pandemic and took a 5k run with it. While not impossible, it was harder and for me pretty uncomfortable.

We’re still pretty early, a decade now, with their efforts to eliminate the Hong Kong culture here. Might not be looking like it’s taking a foothold but we’re not even a generation into this and it does seem they’re really focusing on the next generation.

I mean HK is still losing people emigration, heck half my family has moved since the take over, and it seems that people are still leaving at a pretty good click and that exidous will only make things easier for them to get the language.

I don’t know, I’m still an outsider looking in but all the things I see and hear doesn’t point to a great conclusion, though I hope I’m wrong since it’s like to visit again someday and hear and speak Cantonese.

Yeah, once again for the boot lickers in the back, fuck the CCP.

I think what’s missing is the malicious compliance right after these conversations that many of us engineers have.

Engineer: Sure captain, I’ll do what you ask but I’m going to need you to send me a communique stating that this is what you want me to do.

Oh yeah, fun fact, in my former and current job every year we get invited to a town halls with some executive and every year we hear the complaints that we can’t keep employees.

Every year I ask the same question, “We keep hearing that we have a attrition problem so why do we keep chasing the industry standard for pay and benefits, why can’t we adjust our pay scale and promotion process to actual reward performance to actually keep our high performers?”

Every year, is a non-answer, nothing changes, we lose good people and only keep our industry standard people.

Though it was funny that since I’m on multiple projects/teams I did get the same speil multiple times from the same person and the third time in two years I got called I didn’t even have to ask before I got the boiler plate.

I had the same first reaction and just thought, huh art imitating art, we’ve come full circle.
