Communication can be an important part of one’s job and communication encompasses more than just being able to speak to someone, but also being able to tailor your speech to your audience.

If a manager feels that your vocabulary can hinder how much a client or customer will be able to understand than it is reasonable to ask them to tone it down a bit in certain situations. In other where you are communicating with colleagues in adjacent industries it would probably be a boon to have someone sound super smart and knowledgeable and then you want them to tone it up. It’s situational and can be a positive or a negative but the employee needs to be able to recognize the situation they are in and adjust accordingly.

I have a coworker right now where we have this issue. He’s a very knowledgable person but also a little arrogant and always wants to sound like the smartest person in the room, but when you are explaining stuff to a random person on the street you don’t want him to be blasting off technical jargon and Latin names for shit as it doesn’t help the person understand anything and doesn’t encourage increased dialogue.

As long as you are able to clap the plane probably landed okay

People calling for the culling of all pit bulls would be hypocritical if they don’t also call for the culling of all German Shepherds. It’s a difference in attack rate of 21% for pit bulls and 18% for German shepherds so pretty close in “danger” (https://www.forbes.com/advisor/legal/dog-attack-statistics-breed/)

I doubt they would though as I believe most just have a bias against pitties.

Men have to learn that anger is also an emotion❤️

My comment had nothing to do with Taiwan, just the quote that sunzu2 said about how US construction actually works.

Because not enough people are selling.

If people / companies don’t believe the stocks will lose value they won’t sell. If they don’t sell they won’t lose value.

You saying things like OSHA and fall arrest harnesses and PPE don’t affect construction speed in the US at all?

Not sure if audiobooks are blasphemy here 🙃

Not sure why it doesn’t show hours before December. Total amount listened is 5 months 18 days.

Although it is skewed because I fall asleep listening and often forget to set a timer.

I can imagine counseling could be offered without parental consent since a lot of children need counseling because of their parents, and some parents would outright refuse in case the child might spill the family’s dirty secrets.

They were probably already fired but given the option to call it a resignation for financial benefits/easier to get remployed elsewhere. If they refused it wouldn’t have made any difference I imagine.

Normally you are not supposed to include the O for of in acronyms.

Technically it’s the DGE, just as it’s the FBI not the FBOI.

Actually FBOI is kind of funny maybe we can change that rule.

It’s an automatic $0 tip if I have 0 interaction with anyone but the cashier, that’s for sure.
