J5V Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 We don't want to shut down our business. We regularly import goods from China but may have to rethink that. I had an email exchange with one of our Chinese suppliers yesterday about shipping costs that have tripled since the world-wide lock-down. Tripled! We were quite surprised but perhaps shouldn't have been. I used the occasion to ask how business there had been affected otherwise. The reply was that their particular business was doing okay because they are into electronics and orders are still coming in. But many other businesses there have shut down completely. It was stressed that this had nothing to do with them and that it was a result of orders almost completely drying up from around the world due to the lock-down. Extrapolate that however you will as to what it's effects are going to do to things like the cost of goods, wages, etc. as we move forward.

People younger than me prefer being in the office. Im 40-ish and I never want to be in the office again. lol Some managers are all about gotcha. If someone does their job well and effectively and you catch them checking their emails or making a personal call, is that really something worth disciplinary action vs someone else who might never do anything remotely "wrong" but isnt as good or effective? Happy workplaces seem more efficient. One good thing about my area is it IS casual (too casual sometimes) and people do surf the net or listen to podcasts or whatever. Hence why I spend too much time on this forum 😉 One boss I had in the mid 80's 1985 & 86, was a piece of work. I was working in claims at hell, he was such an ass that I'll name the company... Portage La Prairie Mutual. This guy, wow. Talk about managing under terror & with a hammer & sickle. We had cubicles at work so we couldn't see who would be approaching our desks. This guy would walk around the office sneaking up on employees & admonishing them for all to hear if he thought they were slacking by yelling. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?? WHY AREN'T YOU WORKING?? I DON'T PAY YOU TO STARE OFF INTO SPACE. GET BACK TO WORK!!!!" Employees were deathly afraid of him. My supervisor would sometimes go into meetings & come out shaking. He was a bully. A narcissist as well as a total & complete *******. I got fired after about 6 months of pure hell going to work in that toxic work environment. I remember my firing. Calls me in & says that I'm done but to stick around the rest of the day & finish off what I was doing. He didn't give me a reason for my firing but he seemed to be having a good time doing it. I remember looking him in the eye fromacross his desk & saying. "You're enjoying this, aren't you? He leaned back, put his feet on his desk & his hands behind his head & said, "Yes!" On thye way back to my desk, my super called me into his office & said, "I'm sorry this happened. It's not your fault". I asked him if he was happy with my work & he said yes which was the only thing that mattered to me. I told him I was never given a reason for my firing. He said, you were an Autopac adjuster & he hates Autopac. I started my career out of the U of M with them. I asked why did he hire me? He just shrugged his shoulders. I hope the guy had a paralyzing stroke or died of cancer. I never hated a boss as much as that loser. True story. But I never worked in an office like that before or after so it was an anomaly. I've been working since high school so after all these years I guess I was bound to work for some great bosses (which I did) & some very bad ones (like the guy above).

Tracker Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 This has been the focus of attention on CNN and other news outlets, and rightfully so. The medical community is aghast at the prospect of people putting disinfectant into their bodies through injection or ingestion, and Lysol was so alarmed that they have put out a news release strongly advising against this, probably to avoid lawsuits. And doubtless Trump will come up with even more bizarre ideas. It would be comical if not so tragic, and more people will die as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worse, just now Trump explaining about yesterday .....that he was "Speaking sarcastically to a reporter, like you" Translation: Caught in stupid and dangerous lie, attempts to wiggle out of it with absurd explanation, like some sort of 6 year old.
