My now Ex-boss got his revenge on me for getting him suspended by ramming his truck into my vehicle, caught on video surveillance. Police won’t arrest him despite the evidence, claims it was an accident. Auto-shop that gave the footage won’t fix the tire damage even after witnessing the crime.

​ Video of Boss ramming through my vehicle and throwing it back. I'll start with some background first about how this all started: Due to politics and bigoted Ideology of my Boss I was fired by him around a month back and had to cancel plans to treat my daughter (who's trans) and had to find a new job and other methods to help them. In fact the whole issue was he already knew beforehand about my daughter, but he was just waiting for an excuse to snap and did so, all because of his delusions that I would rather not go over, bottom-line he was just a bigot (and sadly some people here were too when that thread went up) who also made horrible racist outbursts, which I did record. Against concerns, I decided to send part of what I had recorded anyway to HQ, which originally and after…

AI as a tool for controlling people is much more likely than it replacing the workforce

I know this is nothing new but people are worried about the wrong things when it comes to AI. We won't get replaced and put on universal basic income. We'll be streamlined into manual and crappy bottom rug jobs

How to separate friendship from work?

I (24) am a manager and I’m friends (24 & 28) with my subordinates. I’m actually open with the higher management and been telling them that I’m having a hard time keeping boundaries with my subordinates. I sometimes think that I lack leadership skills. There’s a time when I delegated a task and one of them straight up complained to me about the work that I gave (it’s not much lol). I think she’s too comfortable with me and said seriously “why don’t you do it” during work hours and I felt uncomfortable and disrespectful. I want them to see me as a friend to talk to outside work, but keep a professional setting in the workplace. I don’t want to be a “boss”, like super micromanaging them. How to set boundaries? I’ve been telling that myself multiple times, but I don’t know how to do it properly. Should I…
