Saw it again a few months ago, scary how current that movie still is (AI, nuclear war)

“Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell”

Yes, I worked at one of those pre-covid. I remember my colleague leaving her laptop and work phone on her desk at the end of the day around 4pm. We also had small offices with 2-4 people in a historical building right in the city center.

Then we merged with a bigger company, their culture ate us, and all the best people left, the rest are sitting in an open office at the edge of the city. Funny enough, I worked on the merger as one of the leads, I was so happy getting an oportunity like that while young. Now looking back I realized that it was a bad thing we have done (not that we had a choice), and the end result is worse for employees, customers, and even shareholders.

Brits love BBC

Ok, boomer

Definitely, he has a very fragile ego. I’m also not a psychologist and too lazy to look it up, but read smg about the two types of narcissm, vulnerable and grandiose, which have very different behaviours, but come from the same internal feeling of inferiority.

I actually worked with a client very much like him, absolutely incompetent with fragile ego, always playing powergames and trying to humiliate others. What was surprising to see is how hard it is to deal with them, they really exhausted me, and at the end I left the project looking worse than I could have with a normal person. They also openly abused everybody, peers and teammates, not just me the lowly service provider. And the results of his work was always horrendous: crunch hours, months of delays, missing features, etc. I only hear bad things about them from others, yet I always saw some people falling over themselves trying to please this horrible human being, and I couldn’t understand why.

It’s like some people are inherently drawn to these narcissists, while others are repulsed by them, and these two types don’t understand the others. I look at similar world “leaders” like Putin, Orban, or the South American chainsaw clown, and laugh at these idiots, yet millions are happily voting for them.
