Part of the challenge of social media is that it leads you to interact with many more people than you ever could in normal life.
While the vast majority of people are delightful, there are significant numbers of people with whom I wouldn't want to interact, either face-to-face or online.
One thing I should get better at is avoiding engagement with those people online who I wouldn't benefit from interacting with.
I don't talk to the crazy person ranting on the street, why would I do it online?
My assumption would be that the training would put a huge weight on precisely that.
I really don't think they'd spend all that time just learning how to mechanically draw blood and not have entire courses and exams on patient safety, record keeping etc.
Sure, but there's not much they can do about it if things are properly encrypted, for example using DKE on M365.
Doesn't it take months of training (at least!) to become a phlebotomist? How can you screw up that badly on day one?
I'm sure they'll have a great time when there's no one to pay their pensions.
Sounds like your issue is a shitty workplace and shitty managers more than it is not not working from home.
This is what I was thinking. I'm very lucky to live somewhere where I can live without a car - even here in Helsinki, that's not always possible.
It'd be the equivalent to spending an extra 2-3 hours a day working (because that's what the total commute would be), plus money on vehicle upkeep
Maybe this is one of the reasons I actually prefer going to the office. For me, it's only 15 minutes by metro.
No additional cost, very little wasted/lost time, and I actually enjoy being able to draw a line between work and life by putting them in different physical spaces.
Perhaps it also helps that my managers encourage people to work from wherever they feel they're the most productive. It's nice to know that I have the option to work from home without having to explain myself.
Different strokes for different folks, I suppose. It's the diversity that make social platforms interesting, even if some of it isn't interesting for me.
That's why we can choose which communities we join on the Fediverse.
Not that I disagree with the rest of your comment, but
No way any normal person would say no to 2mil.
No way would I want the stress or weight on my conscience of having just stolen 2 mil.
In my opinion, anyone who would take that money is the abnormal one.
This is familiar.
In particular, my accent gives me a distinct advantage, as I speak with what some might describe as a "BBC" English accent. I work using English outside of the UK in a multinational company, and it's served me very well.
In international contexts people just seem to trust that I know what I'm talking about, because they think that I sound like I should be narrating a nature documentary.
I've read that the best way to remember your dreams better is to start a dream diary. Write as much as you can remember as quickly as possible when you wake up, and you should gradually remember more and more.
