  1. In other news, TSA bomb-sniffing dogs are being cut their food and shelter allowances. But this is to be expected from dog-shooting DHS Barbie (Noem).

  2. The MAGA “I see ghosts” crazy AA reject passenger is blocked from redeeming AA miles?

  3. I kept trying to place who Noem
    reminded me of. The hair is inappropriate. Pretty much the generic look these days.

  4. On the ANA incident at JFK: The pilot wasn’t ‘stubborn’ and didn’t ‘argue’ so much as they were Japanese and simply didn’t understand that ‘on request’ meant to ‘hold’ so I’m not sure the negative connotation is necessary, though mistranslations, especially of idioms, can be quite funny, so thank you (and Ben) for sharing this.

    On Return to Office: The ‘badge swipe’ method for tracking is one thing, but since some folks abuse that as well (come in just to swipe, then leave), there have been time frames implemented, too, like it needs to be at least a half-day, but honestly this is silly, for a lot of desk jobs that don’t really involve collaboration in-person all that much (such as for teams spread around the country or the world). I’ve also witnessed the new methods of tracking via ‘IP’ addresses, mouse scrolling, typing, clicks, etc. and honestly it’s all ridiculous. Either let people work, measure productivity via a healthy balance of quantitative and qualitative means, and otherwise support your people instead of micromanaging them. Sheesh!
