"Do you work well under pressure?"
"Yes, I do."
"Great, because we fabricate urgency through poor management, uneven distribution of duties and an inflated sense of self for upper management."

@Jgmeadows If only companies were run by the people qualified in operations, rather than the people qualified by capital.

Yes, of course. I prefer 100 kiloPascals, and will go home if it gets less than 33 kiloPascals.

@ned I don't work well under pressure, why lie about it? I need Kpop music and calming white noise to be playing in order to ease my nerves. Those are some of my terms and conditions. ๐ ๐

@adrianmorales I am a creative professional, and making people in my field "work under pressure" which they have unnecessarily created and is not inherent in the job, or even to "get the job done fast" is the antithesis of what we need to produce.

@ned our corporate values are determination, spunk, and grit!

@ned I once met someone who worked under immense pressure on an important project for her office. The epitome of grace under pressure. I couldn't believe how unflappable she was about all the deadlines, the overtime, the people freaking out around her. Then, I discovered in a conversation with her, that her first job out of school was at a fast food restaurant nearby one of the world's largest soccer stadiums. Ok, that would explain that.

@ned One time I had a job that had a lot of pressure. Resetting bowling pins at the bowling alley. If you were too slow, the ball would hit you in the privates. Way more painful for boys than girls.

Seems like justice by comparison because it wasn't just your boss kicking you there to see if it helped.

@ned The CEO has loads of great ideas to "make your life easier" but they have no idea how to implement them so that's down to you. |
@ned The kind of meme that makes me happy to be retired from corporate life.
