Sympathy as in "being a yes man"/"be the team player mindset" that these corps/HR "motivators" push.

That whole mentality only works in small teams that don't have big budgets.

It's more of the "Yes man" mindset if you are financially sound. As you can quit without worry on bills

Dog knows what's up.

Hence why they got to it first.

Dog has had enough of "Owner using weird black brick that flashes light over the food". So they took the towel first, hoping that "Big human would pay attention to me and give me grub"

Looking at it from another perspective.

What if "Family" is starting your own, not "family that raised you".

I would NOT want to raise a kid being stressed by money being tight. Like you said, there's poor families that are happy, and rich families that are not.

But not having that money to pay for opportunities/experiences and having them miss out would leave a bad aftertaste if they could not sign up for something like clubs/things they enjoyed. I.e sports.

Like, not being stingy with money but not over spending either. But at least a bottomline would be: at least 1/8th of monthly earnings after tax deduction being used as "disposable" would be a good measure for family spending.

How I deal with "decremential life choices" is.

What is this pain in the grand scheme of the some 32k-ish days I'm on this rock? (Spite)

1 day of "hard failure" + a couple hundred days of regret and longer vs 1 day of "neutral feeling" + forgetting it happened.

I still look back at the day I cheated on an assignment in middle school and had it stuck on my transcript. Somewhat haunts me in an annoying sense, but I'll constantly tell myself that every mistake I've done is what makes me "me".

Regret is "me", every mistake defines "me", how I dealt with it shaped "me". The you standing here today is the result of "all my past regrets and mistakes" to stop repeating them.

Yes, some people still can't get over pain (Like myself and my POS dad, ain't gonna forgive him for what he did). But I'll tell myself every day that "I don't want to be like that useless POS". From being broken, everyone has a choice to stay broken, or piece themselves in spite towards something.

Spite the event and "prove" that it was nothing but a few minutes.

Had a look at OP's post history.

The dog is chronically featured looking sad and begging for a bite in all of them.

TIL that this dog is the same dog that I saw on all the other r/food posts pass by on my feed featuring similar shots lol.

And this is like 4ish times over the course of 3 weeks

This is more of a "work motivator" tbh.

Smart people know to leave at 1st opportunity at work for another job elsewhere after probation.

All it takes is 1 sour worker to ruin a team if you can't kick them out because of neopolitism.

And a "friend finder" as well. "Real friends" find ways to put up with your BS. It ain't gonna be a marriage partner, but at least a drinking buddy.

Yuuuuup.

He totally did, the smarter people are the ones who know how to laze properly. (Do it without getting caught/find efficiencies)

"Lazy" people that most corporations seem to use as their "poster models" are actually just "slower". They just need a bit more time to figure stuff out.

Used to work at a warehouse where labour was a big thing, "lazy" people were those who were slow and didn't follow properly.

The smart people where able to keep pace, but in a more relaxed state, because they knew how to not tire themselves out.

To put this in a tangible perspective. The "lazy" worker would box things and tape them 1 by 1. (Take more time, get less done. Because hourly wages)

The smarter worker would box everything in 1 go, then tape them in 1 go. Basically be in a position to do a repetitive task. By being repetitive, you can do the same motion and think less.

Do it with minimal effort and get chewed out.

And look at it again and think "how can I improve minimal effort so that I won't get chewed out".

Innovation 101. Laziness is key.

Not a joke, why did we automate things? We don't want to do it ourselves, so we made machines to do it for us.

What's really hilarious is that the boomers had "Social mobility". Single income households with excessive disposable income.

It was just meer luck that they grew up at the Perfect time. There was still "frontiers" to search for, and hire fresh grads for. When research didn't return "diminishing returns", etc.

Now? "Social mobility" practically doesn't exist. Cost of anything is too high if you started on the lower end to "work for your dreams".

It's not "comparing" that's the problem.

What should be taken that "failure" shouldn't be the default "go to" method to learn. It's the most expensive way to learn.

Assessed risk is the term. Can you constantly afford to throw away resources? Too many mistakes on the register would mean someone has to pay for the losses (usually out of the employee's check).

If you make a sound judgement and something did go wrong. The reason why you went through with it was because you could afford the risk and you were willing to learn from it.
