    They should keep his body in a building central to the insurance HQs. For every single denied claim going forward, that insurance companies CEOs should have to eat a small piece of his decaying corpse to get the denial approved. Once the body is all gone, they need to replenish the CEO body stock if they want to continue denying claims…




  • …so far.

    Hey dental insurance CEO, are you thinking twice this morning about signing off on that press release where you’re going to start denying all of Grandma’s dental claims if you you’re software finds any evidence of her smiling on social media… Smiling being user-initiated routine wear and tear on teeth that shareholders demand no longer be covered by default.

    Think twice this morning, my Lord…








  • I’m not speaking exclusively of relationships with managers. It’s all “dangerous” on that side. I say avoid the risk if your social relationships outside of work are otherwise satisfactory. Again, if social connecting becomes your top priority over career, you can push boundaries at work, otherwise I’d say find an excuse to not go out for drinks and generally stay in the “middle” area where people speak about you in vague, but pleasant, terms… Then go home and live your REAL life with close friends, romantic partners and family who actually care for you.

    Really, your work ultimately doesn’t give a SHIT about you. Everyone would still be expected to clock in tomorrow if you dropped dead tonight. Take the hint and invest the BARE MINIMUM in work.


  • So (in my opinion) you need to first be very clear about your goal… You shouldn’t just DO or NOT DO anything really - YOU are the variable that needs to be accounted for.

    If you are younger or desperate for social interactions/ friendships, and depending on the type of job, you can often make great friends at/through work. So if that is your priority, this is an opportunity.

    But, work friendships come with professional risk. Your managers aren’t your friends, that dynamic will betray you if push comes to shove AND that thing you do/say at that party will be considered in your performance review and/or reported to HR. So, if career it your priority, then be pleasant, but leave it at “work friends” no genuine attachments.
