  • The company I work at emphasizes the up front contract in both internal and external communications.

    “Hi, I need X minutes of your time to discuss Y. I intend for us to reach a decision/decide the next step next step/get your approval by the end of the call. Are you available at this date & time? Thanks!”




  • Man, I see this hot take pop up repeatedly, and it’s so easy to say from the outside. Americans are doing things. Why do you think the fascist pigs just murdered another person? Beccause he was doing something. There were crowds of thousands of people marching in protest in Minneapolis today. What’s the next step in “doing something” to you?

    America is a large country, where most of the states are as large or larger than most European countries. People are organizing locally, because that’s what they can do. Labor strikes are great, but there are no protections for that in this country. Many employers can fire employees at any time for any reason. Paid time off is not guaranteed, healthcare is not guaranteed. State governments typically do not provide those benefits, and the federal government does not provide those benefits. People striking risk losing their jobs, homes, and healthcare, and many cannot afford to go without income for any period of time without risking homelessness or being unable to affort basic necessities. People are so ground down from the burden of simply existing in this environment.

    So what’s the next step? I’m truly, genuinely asking, what can Americans actually do about a federal government that is utterly poisoned from the inside?
