There have been times when I've hated my jobs... including the one I'm in now. Know how that changed, in all cases? Not the work... crappy bosses moved on or got fired, with better bosses replacing them.

I'm so sad that I was too young to get in on the three-martini lunches! But I guess since I wasn't a businessman, I would've missed out anyway...

We did used to go out for computing group lunches, though, and typically good beer was a part of those.

The article, however, does tell us exactly what people reported as toxic. From TFA:

Top Causes of Poor Mental Health:
59% Toxic work culture
54% A bad manager
47% Lack of growth opportunities
47% Increased workload
33% Staffing shortages

Among those with poor or fair mental health, 51% say their well-being would improve if employers removed toxic employees.

I enjoy my current job, actually. Quite a lot.

Work doesn't have to suck.

P.S. I do still miss Kozmo.com - it was great while it lasted!

First of all, AI is a real technology being deployed in real ways inside of Corporate America.

There was lots of real technology being deployed prior to the burst of the DotCom Bubble.

Next, the spending on AI infrastructure doesn't strike me as reckless.

There were a lot of people who thought the money they were dumping into companies like Kozmo.com was not being spent recklessly.

Lastly here in my scolding of the AI worrywarts is that valuations don't support the warning calls.

What's funny here is his basic argument devolved into "okay, yeah, the valuations are higher than they should be... but I think it's okay!"

Lots of people buy garbage like this simply because of the low price - sometimes priced even below the cost of production. If it's cheaper than the competition, that's all they look at. But somehow it doesn't occur to them that the manufacturer expects to recoup that money, one way or the other...

Of course, if the product description didn't make clear that advertisements are "part of the experience", there is always the option of class action.

Don't you mean Schlesiwg-Holstein?

(couldn't resist)

He's incredible! It's especially amazing, given I remember this happening even back when he was just a child! (I'm older than he is)

The reason California rules typically affect the entire US is primarily due to its size. With 40 million people, businesses don't want to NOT be in California, and it's typically easier to just follow the more stringent California rules for a product line than to produce two different variations of a single product.

"Your winnings, sir."
"On, thank you very much!"

From TFS:

"The old diaper-service model disappeared."

You're the author?

Diaper services still exist - I'm guessing the author either doesn't have kids or is justifying why they didn't use one.

Anyway... when our daughter was small, we used a diaper service. It worked quite well and really wasn't a big deal.

"We're excited to share today that the game will be launched, just in time for the holiday season! The original game action is still there, in all its glory, with only a minor tweak.

"This time, it's a alt-universe post-Civil-War setting where Lincoln survived the Boothe assassination attempt. Your job? Kill Lincoln..."

I've tried this on both Mac and PC. First, I picked up an iMac and shook it hard... nothing. Then, I tried it with a Dell Precision 3680 tower - no web summary showed up there, either.

The only thing that eventually happened was I started hearing this loud rattling sound from the Dell...
