Most other industries, if you boycotted a meeting/work you would be replaced or fired.. don't understand how politicians haven't gotten called out for this. I understand they don't like the nominees..

The funny thing is a lot of these politicians are chummy in private. They put on a show for the media.

O1, agreed they should represent their constituents and boycotting has been highly effective in garnering media attention.. however this short term solution impacts long term success. By boycotting you lose the platform of having everyone in a room and voicing your/constituents opinion. Additionally, you only make the other side not want to work with you even more so , thus hurting their constituents in the long run.. then again many politicians only have a short term outlook..

@D1 can you explain what happened? I'm curious

Lol. When has government been like any other business? In what business would you haute a CEO that has no experience in the industry? Have him fire anyone with experience and fill top positions with people that paid him to become CEO, lack experience and want to destroy the very departments they are heading?

I am on the fences on this! I do kind of agree that they should show up and voice their stand! Otherwise look what happened! Reps went about their business without any resistance!

D1, agreed that both have done this in the past. However, the difference is republications could do it and be successful as they held a majority whereas today democrats are trying to do it but cannot succeed as they do not have a majority. Just a waste of time and makes the division wider

The time wasting is the point. It keeps the Senate from considering Trump's legislative priorities.

Life long professional politician is the best job ever. Literally heard someone from Seattle city council claimed they would spend every penny of tax money they collected to defend their value and stand to build a sanctuary city

I signed for a new job two months ago and will start next month (3 mo notice period in Europe).

I've emailed them with questions as I'll be re-locating to NL and it takes them 1-2 weeks to reply. Given all that's going on in the world, I'm worried they might fire me before I even start.

I think I have work trauma not sure how it’s clouding my ability to make decisions. I’ve had unstable work after being laid off from a company 3 years ago. I thought I worked out a plan to get to a stable place but my job is proving to be unstable yet again. I secured a FT role at another company but because it’s a lot less money I’m unsure because I feel very cynical about companies in general. I assume it’ll be just like all the rest but now I’ll just be making less and could get laid off.
