We have identified a rule that benefits women a bit more than men (kind of but not really) so in the name of equality we won't allow men a dresscode as free as that of women, but instead take away the right of women to have a more lax dresscode. I will also propose this rule while very clearly not actually believing in it, since I am currently making (and in the past consistently have made) use of the lax dresscode. Really, I just wanna own the libs™ so I am willing to take my own rights away.

No. Any time a senior official or corporate type “steps down,” it’s to protect their resume. They didn’t quit, they didn’t vote for the bad thing, they didn’t lose, they didn’t oversee a 10% YoY decrease in sales in steak as veganism overtook the country, whatever - it’s entirely a calculation to keep a resume that is only associated with success.

And I’m not saying that to be partisan here - I’ve seen politicians on both sides escape scandal, as well as some corporate officers avoid litigation, by “taking time to spend with family,” etc.,. I am not suggesting PR was facing scandal - AFAIK his maneuver was just staying ahead of headwinds.

Fair enough, but its always better to try to bridge differences because in my experience a lot of people are more ignorant than malicious and get defensive when confronted, and sometimes it's better to be less confrontational, of course it depends on how extreme their views are, in this case what this dude said was obviously unacceptable but all or his base might not be equally abhorrent.

Not to be that guy/gal, but if work isn’t being completed on time, this could actually just be a lazy person who is purposefully putting in little effort. No amount of training is going to fix that. When I managed folks, if you were at the bottom of pile regarding amount of work you completed in the same time as other colleagues, you were offered training (which involved repeating things folks already knew) or you were counseled out - either way chances are you don’t/didn’t like the work, so why continue being miserable. Why should I keep paying the low performer, when I can just use that training time for a new employee who is willing to put in the work. You can make the argument that it is costlier to hire new employees, but the toll low performers take on the moral of the rest of team isn’t great either. How would you feel knowing that someone who puts in 30% of your effort, gets paid similarly (granted performance based bonus and raises are highly variable)

Also read the article. It has absolutely nothing to do with someone having too much work to do in a small amount of time. She even admits she mis-logged as well as claims to have been working with paper documents of which she doesn’t have any proof of.
