  • I’d love to see the HR team at Uline, must be some real data analysis specialists with these tired-as-fuck tropes.

    Much, much more damaging to companies than employees looking for better work are managers who are unable or unwilling to see who their actions and behaviors contribute to issues.

    1. Did you try paying above minimum wage or even “50th percentile” of market for jobs where you have high turnover?

    2. Do you ensure your employees have adequate holidays and Time Off? And by that I mean they don’t actually have to work on their personal time or jump through hoops to take time off work? You’re an employer, not an overseer, staff your company so that you don’t have to exhaust the employees you do have who do want to be there.

    3. Do you train and onboard people at all? When was the last time they did a deep dive into the new hire experience? The answers are there for the taking from people who are largely unbiased and ready to tell you what is needed for them to be successful. On aggregate, all that takes are a few fucks given to find the issues and address them.

  • I think H. would have appreciated the spirit. Lots of his songs were edgy–given the time and genre he was writing for. Officer krupke in West side story, for example.

    Game would have respected game. H. Probably would have had more trouble understanding how mon-u-fucking-mentally stupid a world driven by greed could have become. He would have been much less concerned with animated movie song lyrics.



  • Just post the video instead of explaining it; we’re apparently out of the “cultural reference that will generally land” after 25 years. Plus then these poor folk who haven’t seen it can appreciate the wonder. It was nominated for an academy award for cripes sake!

    The song was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 72nd Academy Awards (1999). This created controversy because all nominated songs are traditionally performed during the Oscar broadcast, but the song contained the word fuck, which the FCC prohibits using in prime time broadcasts. At the awards ceremony, comedian Robin Williams performed the song with a chorus that gasped when the word was to be sung (Williams turned around at the crucial moment and did not actually sing it…
