A LinkedIn post by Collin Rutherford, a CEO. The post begins with Rutherford stating he received a message from his "Pakistani software developer this morning..." followed by a direct quote: "There have been some drone attacks in our area of residence. We're not sure what will happen next." Rutherford then comments on the employee's dedication, contrasting it with his experiences in the United States. He states, "It's hard to find this level of dedication in employees. In my experience, it's (almost) impossible to find it in the United States." Below the LinkedIn post is a screenshot of Slack messages. The first message is from "Hey team" at 11:40 AM, stating: "My purpose behind informing everybody in the team is that I want you guys to be aware and ready for any challenges that may come. I don't know what's coming next because it happened very sudden today. I'm suspecting that There can be delays in our communication, I'm not sure. But what I am sure about is that the tech team is going to be available." This message includes a thinking face emoji and a thumbs-up emoji. The second Slack message is from "Collin" at 11:42 AM, replying to the first message: "You're making me want to run through a wall. That got me fired up!!!" This reply includes a flexing arm emoji and a fire emoji.

"Returning to the office" is such a gross phrase. Get fucked.

    My employer has stooped so low as to call it "return to work". Like, what the fuck have I been doing the past 5 years!?

    I'm currently in the final round of interviews for a new employer. I don't expect that they will be nearly different, but at least they will pay more.

    This guy seems to have no clue that introverts and neurodivergents are way more sensitive to the hot/cramped/bright/loud environment as the toxicity it is - fun fact: open plan offices are considered sexist - and if he can't engage his people at their fullest simply by enabling people to self-select work environment, then he needs a little more mentoring.

    But that went out of style 20 years ago with technical writers and putting employee health before workload as required.
