@90daysliquidity The person who listed olive oil is too good for you anyway.

Cannot stress how much of an advantage it is to be a normal, well adjusted, applicant for banking roles. I reviewed a resume that listed “olive oil” as an interest. That is not an interest. It’s been hours and I cannot stop thinking about it. There will not be an interview.

@ThomasMHern She’s not wrong.

Disgusting commentary from Jennifer Welch on MSNBC. "JD Vance is married to a woman of Indian descent. He has mixed race children. So to all of the MAGA voters out there, if this man will not defend his wife and will not defend his kids, do you think he gives a crap about you?"

@BasedMikeLee Newsom was apparently smokin’ hot and reading the news?? Newsom and it’s not even close. Vance looks like he smelt of sweat and old Cheetos

Which one would you have hung out with in high school and college—Vance or Newsome?

@benshapiro Lmao now I know the movie is fantastic, thank you for your service in being a vocal dingdong with no taste

Not. Good. Review coming soon

@UltraMAGALady We tried to tell you.

@Newsweek Tf is this Dear Leader garbage?

@WHOMB Efficient growing of staple food crops is kind of important, you absolute nitwits

$4 million for “legume systems research.”

@RepMTG Reading the bills you are supposed to vote on is your entire literal job. You can’t do your only job.

Full transparency, I did not know about this section on pages 278-279 of the OBBB that strips states of the right to make laws or regulate AI for 10 years. I am adamantly OPPOSED to this and it is a violation of state rights and I would have voted NO if I had known this was in there. We have no idea what AI will be capable of in the next 10 years and giving it free rein and tying states hands is potentially dangerous. This needs to be stripped out in the Senate. When the OBBB comes back to the House for approval after Senate changes, I will not vote for it with this in it. We should be reducing federal power and preserving state power. Not the other way around. Especially with rapidly developing AI that even the experts warn they have no idea what it may be capable of.

@LozzaFox Holy shit I love this. Happy Pride!!! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 way to make us look cool as hell

@DHSgov They’re accurate comments. You’re sickening.

Governor Walz’s comments comparing ICE agents to the Gestapo is sickening. ICE agents put their lives and safety on the line to arrest criminal illegal aliens let into our country. 🧵Below are just some of the criminal illegal aliens ICE has arrested in Tim Walz’s Minnesota:

@RepBaumgartner The trashiest of trash takes

Zelensky should resign. Putin is a thug and it is in US national interest that he not be successful in his attack on Ukraine, but Zelensky seems to have now twice reneged on signing an agreed mineral rights deal at the last minute. Whatever your view on what happened in today’s bizarre televised WH diplomatic meeting, the West needs US and Ukrainian leadership trust on confronting Russia. After today, that likely requires a new Ukrainian leader. For the good of his country, he should step down and allow an interim leader before new elections can be held. What a mess. 🇺🇸

@DWStraka49 Bruh we still hate the Patriots

I speak for every American outside of Kansas City in apologizing to the New England Patriots and their fans. Your dynasty really wasn’t all that insufferable compared to this.

@HooterHoot6969 @slutriarch Yeah, it’s the girls’ fault, HooterHoot6969 🙄

@slutriarch Laws shouldn’t be changed to allow every child to be in charge of their own healthcare because of the mistakes of a few. Teach girls it’s not ok to have sex that young. If it happens I’m sure a case worker will step in.

A 13 year old girl in Idaho showed up to the hospital to give birth, she couldn't consent to her own care because she's a minor but she could consent to the care of her baby. Make it make sense.

@TXAlliance4Life What are your plans for free childcare, medical care, food, shelter, and education for these infants?

When TAL Public Policy Analyst Deirdre Cooper's unborn child was diagnosed with Trisomy 18, she never questioned whether to move forward with the pregnancy & birth. As she says, life is always the compassionate answer, even for the hard cases. Hear her & Bosco's full story here.

@mattxiv As a pan lady, I am super mad, best not show me more of them 👀

yeah im sure lesbians are just furious about these pics

@TheAtlantic @skornhaber I loved it. I thought it was absolutely incredible. This take is ridiculous.

At the Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony, the city tried to project itself as a modern, inclusive hub of excitement—but it mostly just seemed exhausted, @skornhaber writes: theatlantic.com/culture/archiv…

@eastdakota @Austen So you overhire with the intent to fire dozens of people every quarter. And then refuse to give actual reasons while still claiming there is a reason, which seems like a blatant attempt to avoid 160 people per year collecting unemployment based on your shitty practices.

We fired ~40 sales people out of over 1,500 in our go to market org. That’s a normal quarter. When we’re doing performance management right, we can often tell within 3 months or less of a sales hire, even during the holidays, whether they’re going to be successful or not. Sadly, we don’t hire perfectly. We try to fire perfectly. In this case, clearly we were far from perfect. The video is painful for me to watch. Managers should always be involved. HR should be involved, but it shouldn’t be outsourced to them, No employee should ever actually be surprised they weren’t performing. We don’t always get it right. And sometimes under performing employees don’t actually listen to the feedback they’ve gotten before we let them go. Importantly, just because we fire someone doesn’t mean they’re a bad employee. It doesn’t mean won’t be really, really great somewhere else. Chris Paul was a bad fit for the Suns, but he’s undoubtedly a great basketball player. And, in fact, we think the right thing to do is get people we know are unlikely to succeed off the team as quickly as possible so they can find the right place for them. We definitely weren’t anywhere close to perfect in this case. But any healthy org needs to get the people who aren’t performing off. That wasn’t the mistake here. The mistake was not being more kind and humane as we did. And that’s something @zatlyn and I are focused on improving going forward.

Alright some very quick (assumptive) analysis: 1. Looks like the company was nuking most of the sales org. If they’re keeping <25% of an org the calculus isn’t, “Are they doing a good job and have we given them a fair shake?” It’s more, “Who are the top performers we need to keep? We have to get rid of everyone else.” Totally unfair to her. It may have been nigh impossible to reach the performance bar required to stay. But hard to say with no info. 2. The fact that it’s two HR people who don’t know her is either a big mistep or it implies her manager (and possibly her manager’s manager etc.) are gone too. 3. The HR team was probably given a big list of names they needed to tell, and probably had no clue as to why the decision making led to some staying and some going. That’s not a fun position to be in, but could be the only alternative to a mass firing in a giant Zoom meeting depending on how much of management was also fired. 4. It’s interesting that they’re so clear it’s performance-based and not a layoff. That’s not an accident. Could be to avoid regulations around the WARN act, or as justification to give zero severance. Usually in this call they go over the high level of that stuff, but this one took a turn. Sad across the board.

@schizarella Nobody is pretty enough to fuck up my commute. Get real

@Betsy_Cazden @ItsMattsLaw Exactly, I can just watch the show

@kateaallison @ItsMattsLaw At least when you're only standby counsel the court (and opposing counsel) know that you didn't recommend the craziness.

I didn’t learn this one in civil procedure
