Get a Chinese romantic partner I am told (I went with SE Asian by chance and pushed back by learning a few years. ;-) )

Have someone special die in your arms. I'm being serious...You will see all people (except the real nasty ones) as fragile and worthy of our patience and understanding.

Clap, clap, clap...Uplifting

Thank you for your service and commitment. The best the US has to offer--decent, hard working people + the environment to thrive.

I really appreciate this post. Somehow I think the media and its funders are trying to drive the wedge between similarly thinking people as hard as they can.

i thought i was the only one ;-)

Boycott

I could be a superhero if I banned all talk of my failures and weaknesses

We're in a war whether we choose to accept it or not. The other side has been making tremendous progress because of our naivety and facilitator-traitors among our midst who overlook human rights abuses and IP theft to make the profit target for the next quarter.

Absolutely not. After 30 years in business I have seen too many execs walk away with huge (>50+ million dollar pay packages, upwards of 250 million due to pre-arranged exit deals) even after failing greatly and seriously harming franchises if not permanently destroying them. And when times get tough, the C-suite uses their management consultants as cover to whack a ton of ordinary folks because "you know, overlaps". Think like a mercenary at all times. They do. Don't get me started on gentleman agreements about bonuses to be paid after 12 months "if" I came onboard.

This is profound. It's a horrible extension of the participation medals mentality which drags down average performance and effort expended.

This is an outstanding piece and the reason so many hard working, well-principled people of all persuasions feel under great stress.

That's how most citizens feel in a system with two parties which haven't served the people in decades.

My clients have been facing job searches 2-3x longer than in past years (mid-level managers, social media, even HR staffers. That's after having had the resume and LinkedIn Profile enhanced to a competitive level.

RIP, you were a genius and pioneer

You guys are truly admirable!

Former SoS, Harvard Law School, top of West Point Grad, a deeply principled, extremely hard working man. We could and will be experiencing a lot worse the next 4 years.

Yea the guy who built is biz with other criminals

Congratulations and all the best!

We're way past the point of truly caring about a person's qualifications on the job or universal human rights everywhere in the case of Germany.

As employers see employees as cogs in the machine, when one burns out, swap and restart the engine. No humanity in the system

Don't even accidentally look for pics of Tiananmen massacre. There are some truly gruesome ones which remind all viewers, fight tyranny in any way, shape or form that one can get away with. History will judge the vile.

With the forced restrictions on speech, why would you want to use it?

Last week I was in a southern city, my DiDi driver said he loved Kobe and mourned for him often. A few days later, a building service attendant told me he loves watching the NBA. Shocked...

Capitalism should not see gender or race differences nor be forced to buy from certain suppliers of... Buy from the best service provider to meet your needs. Full stop.

Would love to see more company HRDs providing rss feeds to their open positions.

i wish more sites had rss feeds

Freedom of speech but only if you say what we want you to say. Tyrants are all the same the world over.

This was a well written perspective
