Read a story called “Disappearance I”. The author imagines a dystopia where sleep is considered illegal because people around are aiming and competing towards 100% utilization of time!Thoughts? 🤔

If you replace “illegal” with “optional” then it basically describes consulting

I’m leading our firm-wide productivity initiative. This could be huge for us, we could probably stack 3-5 more firm initiatives on each employee if we could eliminate their wasteful need to sleep. Can you please share your source for this groundbreaking research?

Is genetic carrier screening prior to starting an ivf cycle necessary? I tested and found some disorders. Now my RE won’t start my cycle until my partner is tested. They are saying they will have to do special PGT tests if we are carriers of the same disorder. I am confused. I thought this type of testing was optional and usually recommended if you are using a donor. My guess is that they are booked and pushing me to the Jan cycle. Thoughts?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
