While 700k may look like a lot (and by most objective measures it is), the skill set needed to run a successful non/not for profit is actually quite unique no matter how big or small it is. They do not work not like "normal" CEOs. Replace caring about share price, and moving the share price up effectively versus caring about voluntary donations from people who get nothing out of but perhaps a tax break. And you're competing not against other equities (stocks); you're competing against other non/not for profits for limited money and attention.

Anyway, just saying I do not begrudge that level of compensation to the people running the last corner of the internet not filled with AI slop.

Also in case you were wondering the other guys is our sycophantic former PM, Mark Rutte (VVD, garage people party) who is now head of NATO. His recent nearly literally a love letter to the American Fascist was published recently. Most Dutch just shook their heads. Rutte casts himself as some kind of "Trump-whisperer," but the things is, he probably actually believes the blow-job level shit he wrote.

I wasn't going to get into how we form possessives; it will confuse and scare them.

A lot of them were Irish who buggered off to London after the Irish lost home rule. Led directly to the collapse of a lot of things.

IF you also have milk or some other source of dairy.

Thank you for saving me what would have been in infuriating click.

GHOW-da is about the closest English approximation. The G sound is quite different in Dutch though.

Do you have sauce for these? My sons would love to see them.

Did Stubb support this?!?

Spent two weeks on the West coast back in March. Some really tiny, tiny towns in the main Irish Gaelic speaking areas. Did not hear one word of Irish.

Compare this to when I was in the same area in late 1998, and in these small towns you'd still hear it often in the pubs. It is a damn shame, IMHO.

[Narrator: do not actually say this]

 

I am an Xer who manages a small but crucial team at my workplace (in an EU country). I had a lady resign last week, and I have another who may be about to resign or I may have to let go due to low engagement. They are both Gen Z. Today it hit me: the five years I've been managing this department, the only people I've lost have been from Gen Z. Clearly I do not know how to manage Gen Z so that they are happy working here. What can I do? I want them to be as happy as my Millennial team members. One detail that might matter is that my team is spread over three European cities.

Happy to provide any clarification if anyone wants it.

Edit. Thanks for all the answers even if a few of them are difficult to hear (and a few were oddly angry?) This has been very helpful for me, much more so than it probably would have been at the Old Place.

Also the second lady I mentioned who might quit or I might have to let go? She quit the day after I posted this giving a week's notice yesterday. My team is fully supportive, but it's going to be a rough couple of months.

 

I'm not challenging the rule or anything, it just seems a little out of place here. Potential legal repercussions for our server's owner maybe?

 

Perhaps this is a dumb question, if so sorry! I don't want to move from here, but I do like the old-school layout over at mlmym.org
