I'm not convinced. I still think these are "fat trims", just like RTO, they use it to reduce head count while making it look like they are trying to enhance productivity instead of simply cutting costs.

Oh, definitely. It’s the same old debate: we need to finish the project in x months, but we’re already behind. So we throw more people at it, and it ends up taking twice as long. More people does not mean faster at all.

I don't think so. I think we're entering a new world with all this

AI might shift the types of roles in demand, but humans are still essential. Hiring will likely rebound for positions where creativity, problem-solving, and judgment matter most.

Ladies, if a man asks you out on a date but you aren’t available that weekend and you don’t offer an alternate date or time, should he ask again the next week…or ever?

Case 1: complaining about a date insisting on picking up the check as it makes them feel less independent.
Case 2: agreeing on 50/50, then being upset about why the date never picks up the check or treats them after 3 months of dating

In both cases, posted 5 days apart, they were advised to find someone else as it seems their date doesn’t respect their values (case 1) or value them enough to spend money on them (case 2).

Well, just 🤯

I'm not sure what else I did other than being respectful and not giving flip at the same time but (4) mature ladies in my office flirt with me every chance they get. Some of my M colleagues are beginning to notice and giving the prod. I must confess it comes with some perks as I do appreciate how fast they process my requests/orders which a M colleague literally told me is biased. Recently one of them offered to bring me her cooked food and asked that I do the same..(Cont'd)
