Question for those who have police officers in their family / close friends: what is motivating them to show up and protect the street during this time? Is it they are worried about their job if they don’t or they feel they have a civic duty. The amount of hate that is being given to ALL cops as one entity and the violence just seems like I would not show up if I was cop.

Depends on where you are

My brother is police officer and is working right now. He just sees it as his job like you do, to protect and serve.

If they didn't, imagine who would show up to take their place.

I just landed this job in tech and some coworker already went to HR to complain about my tone at a virtual meeting. HR doesn’t seem to know what this person’s problem exactly is, but notified me without telling me which coworker complained. Everything going fine otherwise, my manager told me they’re happy with my work and I get along with most of the team. Have you been there? What would you do? I’m confused.

Why are people fulfilled with a fluffed up career?

1. Consultants. Specifically, management consultants. The rest are fine.

2. Product manager. If you can't explain what you do in 15 seconds, you really don't do anything. Product manager in an actual tech companies are exempted from this comment.

3. Project manager. The best teams self-organize and softwares are making it easier to self organize.

Change my mind.
