Finally a big wig is speaking some sense

https://www.entrepreneur.com/business-news/kevin-oleary-disagrees-with-martha-stewart-about-remote/453861 I'm not saying that everything this guy does is right, but I am saying it's a step in the right direction that one of these California oligarchs is at least speaking some sense.

So I might be dealing with retaliation?

I work in food service as a manager, to boil it down, I called out sick and was excluded for 5days (including the weekend, which are our busy days). Since I’ve been back I heard from one of the other managers that our GM decided to take an extra vacation day and “make me work the weekend” since I “made him” work the last weekend. Again, I was sick. Not much one can do about those circumstances except try to get better. What should I do? I feel like this is a slippery slope to more bad behavior if it isn’t addressed. I don’t know if it’s something that can be sued over or not. Any feedback is appreciated.

How should I respond to this email?

Although I do not have an official title on my team directly, i have a IT related title for the entire organization. It's not big, but it's a title. None of my other team members have any knowledge about IT, they freak out if stuff doesn't print or mouse doesn't click. And I constantly do process improvement projects. So I sent a suggestion to associate director (of operations) of my team. He explained to me the reason why don't we do it the way I suggested and also cc'ed my director. I replied to both, may be we should? What's the difference bw doing it your way vs my way, it's the same number of clicks and minutes. Then I get this scathing email from director, who is normally pretty friendly with me and we frequently talk about our personal lives with each other, known each other for about 8…

im retired comfortably at 36 but still work.

some times i take on jobs i kinda like. Freelance, remote, choose hours, writing. When I do this it means I cant do the “retirement” things I want to do. One example is getting totally swept up into a book. Now i'm working as we speak. And I can't read the book. Why do I feel fine with this. Why can't I shake this feeling of feeling better when I'm working.
