What's with these hydration breaks during the World Cup games! WC comes to the US and football starts becoming like eggball- more focussed on commercial revenue and dance/singing instead of the actual game. Even the players are fed up of these hydration breaks

You can make a point without denigrating other sports.

FIFA is a corrupt organization. If you were cool with them giving hosting rights to slave economy , you should be fine with an ultra capitalist country doing ultra capitalist things. Why didn’t fifa say no to these breaks ?

Hell yeah

Last World Cup also had cooling breaks. If you knew ball you’d know this.

I’m not saying it’s not a cash grab, just pointing out it’s not like it’s a new concept.

All sports are getting destroyed. Watch college football. They’ve shortened the playing time of games purely to add more commercials.

Says the guy sitting behind his desk and likely take 15 breaks a day.

I’m sure this is rage bait but if you’re not aware in most host cities it’s pushing 80 to 90 degrees outside. Most countries in play don’t see this type of heat. But I’m sure there’s a commercial aspect to it.

I feel left out in my firm. How do I make 'friends' with my colleagues? I've been here for a year.

It is an important trait to have in this job and I just don't know how to do this. It makes me very upset - I even sought therapy but wasn't useful. I can't spend 14 hours each day feeling like this:(

Are there any good movies or novels that show skill development - like follow through? Self-management? Money management? I read a lot of self help books so I know a lot of the theory, and books peppered with examples help, but I feel like most 1 paragraph examples don’t five justice to how hard it may be to change a behavior.
