Lacking thinking skills.

I think it's absolutely wonderful. It seems like all the money from USAID was going to countries to promote gay and transgender activities. This is inline with the World Economic Forum to reduce the world population.

President Trump was elected by a landslide to perform the People's Will and he has appointed Elon Musk as his point man to reduce government waste and corruption.

USAID has turned into true government waste and corruption.

Additionally, I hope DOGE performs a forensic audit of the people who were working there to ensure that they weren't receiving kickbacks from the checks they wrote.

In response to the software engineer, that said if any of this were true, it would’ve been reported a long time ago; the whole point is that the corrupt bureaucracy and the Democrats in charge of it have kept it a secret in order to supplement their coffers. It is all absolutely true, and Elon has proof of it, which has already been revealed. If you are able to read, that is. I for one do not want to fund LGBTQ education in Honduras and Guatemala. The 22% that I am paying Out of my paycheck for federal taxes should go to other causes, thank you very much! But I’m sure you will dispute those claims as well because you are divine and know everything.

It's not Rome, it's the World; it's not fiddling, it's golfing and @least Nero actually knew how to play and cheat at it. Yeah and the Horse is a Muskrat. Permafrost is on fire!

No - I work for a company who depends on me to do my job and grow their business - that is my sole focus. Showing up, every day, passionate about how this product can help others find success with their business. This should be every sales person’s POV.

It's also my POV. I went from 100k to 139k plus bonus this year in anticipation of the work trump has done. My investments earn me about 240k this year plus a bonus. Hard work pays off and it's only boosted by business who get stuff done. Good luck this year in your sales. We need it to have projects to work on.

At this point it's more like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic and polishing the brass to pass the time while watching management argue if someone should move the throttle faster or slower.

Of course, people have to make this about politics. Never ends.

Pray tell Josh, what in life isn't based on politics? The OPs question could be interpreted many ways. Maybe their boss is a rotund, balding, obtuse and out of touch manager, who is letting everything around them crustify, while they fashion themselves to play a fiddle, oblivious to the truth around them. Or it is directly political and therefore pertinent to the state of hiring currently being felt by the world because of it.
Like it or not, elections have consequences. Que the polka music.

Now I'm terrified that I should have put ALL my meds, to including my psych meds. I've been sober over 12 years and never touched drugs (just booze) but I'm having a full blown panic attack.

I’m in interviews with a few companies. It was initially to see what was out there to negotiate my pay. Now, I’m seriously considering leaving my current company because of what one of the prospect companies represent: everything I want in a company/role. (Plus they reached out to me) AND they will pay me almost double what I’m currently making annually, put me in a position to advance (so many options!!!!!) and allow me to move/travel when I get ready to.

What should I do? Guidance please!!!
