How are you being bullied? Someone just stated their opinion with regards to crypto investors knowing the risks when they invested in such a volatile asset.

His telling of the story of man's grappling to conquer flight really helped me to understand how I should approach grappling with my own challenges.
I just wanted to state the obvious first that quickest way is to find a better paying job. And it doesn't even cost money like there are lots of free tutorials online to learn how to code better. I also understand that OP might already understand it (finding a better job as the best route) so I didn't spend too much time on that idea with just one sentence.
He also said that he wants to enjoy the finer things in life; so it makes sense for him to think about ways to get a better job.
Where in my comment do I say that better paying jobs can be bought?
In terms of investments, the Rule of 72 is that a return of 7 percent a year will double your capital in 10 years. So assuming that S&P 500 will return roughly 7 percent a year, expect your capital to be doubled in 10 years.
Of course there is no guarantee that the S&P 500 will continue it's upward trend it has been on.
If that was me, I'd probably do different things instead of finding entertainment in doing the same thing again and again every hour of posting on Hacker News.
Not only myself, but a lot of people find it strange for people to invest their energy and time and attention to be using a shared account to be reposting stuff hourly if not for karma-farming. And it seems to be doing this straight for days at a time, just based on the recent account history.
1.) Are you using a script?
2.) What's the motivation?
For number 1, you replied that it is shared account, okay. For number two, what's the motivation? No answer.
The more curious thing is what's the motivation for this effort to spam reposts? Is it just for Karma? It can't be for thoughtful discussion since no one is interested in so many topics to be reposting every hour.
While I still think the pros outweigh the cons, WFH does make it more difficult to connect with colleagues and develop that team and company spirit.
Personally, I think a hybrid approach is best.
It's a bit time-consuming but also fun for me to dictate my notes.
But I can let my thoughts out when I hand-write on paper but in a crowded room, I usually just stay quiet.
I don't have a particular template that I follow because I find to be too repetitive and low value instead it's of whatever's the most important is what I write down.
I prefer to hand-write but in order to have a digital copy, I transcribe it with Otter.AI.
Curious what's an example of a fun team / workplace activity from the book?
Because if you have a rich social support then you can bear the loss of a job much better but otherwise, you'll be in a very depressed state.
Usually during life transitions we need even just moral support from people that love us and so it's probably important to cultivate that to surf the natural waves of life properly.
But in general, the problem with surveillance is that it is just all about appearances. People usually learn to "look" busy instead of being productive and that is counter-productive to actual productivity when people are just pre-occupied with appearances.
Another problem is that it creates an atmosphere of low trust in the company. When there is an atmosphere of low trust, people will be less motivated to work hard and to give their whole effort since they will feel they are just expendable since the manager doesn't trust them.
What kind of job requires ten minute screenshots? Definitely not a software development job.
At least Twitch chat has more fun memes.
> you're saying is also that those wanting to be at the office are friendless, need this as a substitute for a normal life etc
What did he characterize wrong?
"Money is not everything but not having enough is" as the quote goes. Maybe there is a way to be happy without this attachment to job performance but it is a rare thing.
It's quite interesting to consider why that is the case, maybe, it is a psychological thing that people in well-developed nations value material goods more instead of the security of having more children or maybe it is the high cost of child-rearing which is turning-off couples from having more children.
