Because Swartz didn't have a legion of expensive lawyers at his disposal. ☹️

Good job. You're one of the 100 out of that 7,700 managers who actually do something productive and manage properly.

Obviously, that number of 100 is arbitrary to make a wider point. To be fair, it's probably a significantly higher percentage than I provided in my hypothetical. But holy shit are there waaaaay too many of the type 1 and far too few of the type 2 that you outlined.

And 7,600 of them discover that aside from micromanaging and degrading the well-being of their employees, they have no other substantive job duties, and their employment is completely pointless.

Just keeping them on their toes.

Making YET ANOTHER comeback!

Pretty sure this one will end as well as the last one.

I can't unsee that now.

Yup.

Also, how can you stay "present in the moment with the people you care about" when you have alerts and other UI overlay elements flashing and moving in your direct or peripheral vision? That would be a massive distraction to me.

Glad you're okay.

Vomiting when you wake up? Forgetting everything?.... Umm, you might want to see a doctor. That does not sound normal at 30, or even 40.

I just wish he had learned something from it. It's disheartening how pigheaded some people can be.
