What a slow day. :groan:

To make matters worse, sale of alcohol has been banned in my city till Sunday midnight due to elections. Fuck this city!

 

[Nzoric]

Was going to say 'football kits' but didn't want to include the baggy or tiny shorts of the past.

You should get some of those for golfing.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

To bored to even masturbate!

 

[Nzoric]

Get a job, hippie.

 

[Dostoevsky]

If a manager is becoming less paternalistic, what does that mean?

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Get a job, hippie.

I'm trying. But the forces of evil are not letting me get one.


Or, my cellphone carrier is blocking all calls from potential recruiters.

If a manager is becoming less paternalistic, what does that mean?

That he's getting more drunk?

 

[Dostoevsky]

Man, nobody takes me seriously when I'm being serious.

 

[Martin]

So what was the context of the question?

 

[ZoSo]

If a manager is becoming less paternalistic, what does that mean?

less 'benevolent but sometimes intrusive'

 

[Dostoevsky]

less 'benevolent but sometimes intrusive'

thank you.

 

[ZoSo]

that's a more precise definition, but really means less father-like

 

[Martin]

wut? paternalistic implies benevolent now?


paternalism /pəˈtɜːnəˌlɪzəm/
n
the attitude or policy of a government or other authority that manages the affairs of a country, company, community, etc, in the manner of a father, esp in usurping individual responsibility and the liberty of choice

I wish my manager becomes less paternalistic.

 

[Osman]

Lol same here Jack. Call my boss papou (grand father in greek, where he is from) because he is so "fatherly" all the time

 

[Nzoric]

I wish I had a boss . Getting a job that isn't lowest level of service is hard.

You have to start somewhere, I started a job carrying furniture boxes and opening them then throwing the empty boxes. Later on I started assembling the furniture then I worked at the post office sorting terminal, you really don't want to know how monotonous the work is there. I then worked in a warehouse then on an assembly line and all that was done with an engineering degree in electronics and a masters degree in industrial economics. Three or more years with such jobs then a head hunter found me and put me in a consulting company.

Without experience a job is even harder than you can imagine.
