What do you do for winter shoes and commuting?

Need some advice. During May of 2021 an operations manager and an hourly Hr employee started a relationship while the ops manager was married.

Is it too late to investigate the ops manager for misconduct ? The ops manager has worked here for 15 years and is super valuable, the operation literally can not run without him.

I feel inadequate and unsure of how or if to acknowledge the US/Buffalo racist murders and terrorism of this weekend in the workplace. I don’t want to do disservice or unintentionally further traumatize anyone. I know my Black colleagues are traumatized. I am horrified.

How do I leave this industry? I hate it. I literally wake up sick to my stomach with dread at the idea of going to work. I don’t enjoy any of my job functions. I cry at work at least once a week.

My challenge to everyone of you. Every leader, every future leader, everybody who will lead this industry one day: when we get back to normal, whatever that will look like, get personally involved again with recruiting, hiring and mentoring. DO NOT leave personnel decisions to HR, alone. DO Not rely on the parasitic temp agencies like creative circle and Aquent to do all the work. Get involved. Give a damn. A creative leader saw value in me, l assume someone saw value in you too. Pay it forward.

I'm having trouble. I have a client who is going from a climbing company, to a fitness company. They have a product that lets them expand from where they are.

Anyone have ideas on how to argue for this? Happy to share more info

Was Bogusky a real life Patrick Bateman? From some podcasts I’ve heard, it felt eluded to that he was a psycho, but few would outright say it. And from the people I’ve met who’ve worked for him, he legitimately sounded like a sociopath. I’m just genuinely curious.
