10 Lies

By -
Continuing on with observations on the job market. This was found on Reddit. As is often the case, the entirety of the article is repeated here, in case the original post is deleted for whatever reason. 


10 Lies I was taught about work:
1. Do well in school, work hard, apply yourself and you will have a successful career.
2. White collar work is more elevated, important, respectable and lucrative than blue collar work.
3. Get in with a good company, stay there for years and you’ll be fine.
4. Your performance review is extremely important, and staying on your manager’s good side is one of your top priorities.
5. People much smarter than you have spent countless hours thinking through and analyzing company decisions and processes so if there’s a policy or initiative you don’t agree with, keep in mind that you don’t have the perspective those higher up executives do.
6. Once you have a job, you should commit fully to that job and stop thinking about the world outside your company’s walls.
7. The only people who get fired are people who deserve it.
8. Do not worry about your personal or professional growth or your career plan. Your manager will provide any training they deem necessary for your development.
9. The emperor is fully clothed, and if you do not see the emperor’s attire it is because you are too common and unsophisticated to perceive it.
10. Family, health, fun, vacations and pastimes are all important but Work. Comes. First.

This Will Trigger The Weak

Seen on Social Media: Your Wife Is Your First Daughter—Treat Her Like a Baby, Or She’ll Break Your Home Let’s scatter the woke table: Your wife is not your equal. She’s not your therapist. And she’s definitely not your homeboy. She’s your first daughter—emotionally, mentally, and psychologically. And the moment you start expecting her to “reason like a man” or “carry half the weight,” you’ve already lost. The modern man is confused. He's told to be vulnerable, yet punished when he shows weakness. Told to be “emotionally available,” yet abandoned when he starts crying like a choirboy. Let’s get this straight: Women were designed to be nurtured. Not negotiated with. Let’s break it down like a real father would. — 1. Every Woman Is a Grown Baby Looking for Emotional Security She’ll talk tough. She’ll claim she’s independent. But when the bills land or the pressure hits? She’s curled up in your arms, needing your shoulder—and your wallet. Why? Because biologically, her system runs on h...

Polar Opposites

My friend, Lefty, had a darn good post a couple of days ago. Let's go into why it was such a good post.  Meeting Your Polar Opposite Polar Opposites For starters, people who cannot see past the surface might notice that Lefty is a self-described introvert. This author is a self-described extrovert. That would be "polar opposite."  Climate Change Next up, Lefty made the post, which has many references to the farce that is the claim of manmade climate change. Not only that, but Lefty's post was on March 12. That date marked 32 years since the Blizzard of '93 hit most of Tennessee. In that blizzard, Chattanooga got 18 inches of snow in 12 hours - I know because I was living there at the time. Were such an event to happen today, the Leftists would be screaming bloody-murder about manmade climate change.  Chemtrails Last part that made Lefty's post so good was he took a swing at the folks on the right who believe in chemtrails. For clarity, my conspiracy-theorist ...

The Problem With Many Modern Women

Seen on X, from Richard Cooper - here, pasted text in case Blogger inexplicably deletes the image as they have done so many times in the past: "In the not so distant past, she was wifey material if she was: A virgin Tattoo free  Had good family  Feminine  Under 25  Religious  Had homemaking skills  Agreeable  Could cook & clean  Wanted his children  Most brides today are none of those things." Here we will give an example of what most modern women are like in italics below Cooper's list of marriageable qualities.  Marriageable qualities vs. Reality: A virgin Been with 100+ men (whatever number they tell you, multiply it by 9, at the least.)  Tattoo free  Many tattoos.  Had good family  Comes from single mother only home where the mother did not allow the father into the children's lives.  Feminine  Feminist Under 25  Over 30, with declining fertility.  Religious  "Spiritual" (meaning wil...
