The turnaround is giving me whiplash.
There's no begrudging following of the rules, it's wholeheartedly embracing the new regime.
This is just another version of pulling the ladder up behind them, no?
I was told to change gender to sex on the apps I develop. I'm pushing to have it removed all together because it's a field that has no relevance and the order is fucking dumb. My niece is trans saying they don't exist doesn't make them not exist.
DEI is largely about raising the profiles of minority workers in roles and positions that were both vital to mission success and underpaid/underappreciate-for-promotion relative to the whiter career roles.
Petro's following in the grand tradition of Boomer senior leaders by pulling the ladder up behind her now that she's at the top.
You beat me by a minute with that thought! 😆
When it is easy everyone thinks they are Oskar Schindler but when it is hard most people are Hugo Boss.
Sun-Tzu actually described how this works with soldiers, and how do you work with such gentle material. I'd say his book's parts on psychology are about making a Hugo Boss from a wannabe Oskar Schindler, but if one applies his advice to oneself, one can put different goals.
I also like Marcus Aurelius.
The quote from the email isn't her words. They were given to her (and all agency heads) to send out to their workforce to implement the EO. It should not be taken as "embracing the new regime".
She sent the email. They're her words now.
So... "she's just following orders"?
They need to give all interviews in with an Inspector Clouseau accent to let us know they are under duress like the US pilot who was put on TV during the first gulf war.
Boomers are natural bootlickers, no conviction... She says what gets her a head.
Also shouldnt she be in a fema camp instead of leeching on federal budget?
Dude, they are insulting people and blaming boomers for everything is just keeping us divided. You want to start throwing ageism into this look at the ages of the tech bros of elon musk doge raiders. All like 19 -26
Look at the average ages of jan 6 Matt gaetz, Alex jones.
The vast majority of everyone is suffering.
It's us poors together that we need not letting them keep us divided
Fair points but boomers did provide political cover for a lot of this shot like the wars and ACA
But are all to blame now. Nobody knows what a proper opposition is
