Can’t focus on the post because of how slashes are utilized in the headline.

Cringe but I’ll make an exception for this cycle only because of how critical it is Trump stays out of office (independent that’s voted for, Clinton, Bush, McCain, Romney, Hilary, and Biden). I think everyone should voice their opinion on any platform available and vote. I don’t think any party that’s trying to prevent 40,000 veterans and college aged students from voting in Arizona is going to act in the best interest for all Americans.

Cringe no matter what. That goes for all social media but especially LI.

Definitely cringe. All political discussion on LI is automatically cringe.

It depends. I used to work for a federal politician. My friends worked for the party itself. We would post about policies, legislation, etc. Don't forget that not every workplace is a private sector corporate office.

But we did not share the kind of thing in the post above. It's a matter of taste, but I find it a bit of a personal attack, not a professional rebuttal. Yes, there are standards, even in politics..

Yea there haven’t been standards in politics for at least the last 16 years lol

Normally cringe but that’s a good one…I’ll allow it 😂

I revise my earlier opinion to say it's acceptable if you're posting about specific policies and how they will impact you, your business or your team.

Any personal comments on specific politicians is absolutely cringe. This post, for example, is definitely cringe.

Guys,
Need some suggestions.
Currently I am working in TCS Kolkata with 6.8lpa, technology - Exchange 2010 (which is already out of support from Microsoft).
I got an offer from Infosys Bhubaneswar with 9.3lpa, technology: Office 365.
My hometown is Kolkata.
Hybrid model is okay for me if it is Bhubaneswar as my in-laws won't allow me to move to a different city. Problem is opportunities are very less in Kolkata and TCS won't hire ex- employees. Should I switch to Infosys or stay back in TCS..

Question about inclusion…. I’ve been teaching inclusion for 5 years so I’m still a newb, but a first year coworker of mine said she got points off on her observation because her kids were scattered in the classroom and she was having to move from kid to kid to assist. While I see the point of putting them together for convenience, I don’t agree with this at all! To me this is like singling them out by putting them all together instead of INCLUDED amongst peers. What do y’all think?

I woke up today tired.

My work cell was buzzing and then I remembered something.

I forgot to thank the bus driver that dropped me off a few days ago.

I got up and rushed downstairs to find the bus driver.

It was raining outside but I was already running barefoot to the bus stop.

I stood there soaked in my pajamas as the bus approached.

Then, the door opened. The driver got up and shook my hand.

I sat down and started my shift.

I’m the bus driver. Reminder to love and thank yourself.

on the way to an interview this morning eating a sandwich. I walked past a homeless man who had a stray cat perched on his lap. He asked for a bite of sandwich to feed them both as they hadn’t eaten in days. I gave the whole sandwich over and headed off to the interview. As I got to the interview room there was a large executive chair facing away from me. The chair turned and on top was a mirror. When looking in the mirror I could see the cat. I am the cat. Truly inspirational when you work hard
