Yeah. Do over. I was trying to think of an organization that didnt admit to a problem until confronted and obvious.

My bad

Well... Bravo in the sense that by recalling they admit they have counterfeit problem.

It is not too late ever for a company to admit they made a mistake. Look at the catholic church

Better now than the 22nd. Bravo Amazon.

The walmart i know still has them for $1.

It was not signed for.

There are many dispositions once usps presses delivered. One is "to an individual at address" that is what i interpret - not signed.

Some other dispositions: at or by box, other or garage, office, (there are many more)

So the usps carrier pressed 4 - individual at address. He she handed it to someone.

Also, the exact gps coordinate of the initial scan is recorded. So the carrier scans the amazon box... That time&location is address knowing. In fact, the usps can turn on a feature that tells the carrier "you are more than 200(some distance) away from the address" this is used primarily when sunday newbies are delivering.

It sounds like amazon does not receive all the data collected from the carriers handheld. Also, there can be multiple dispositions for a parcel. Like "damaged" and delivered.

Cause (im making this up) he never thought he would no longer work ot Google

It doesnt sound like he regretted what he wrote or wished he had a "do over"

But to an idiot like me, the absolute amount should go down if it is a cut; not up!

So if i spent $500 eating lunch at work two years ago; $600 last year and plan/allocated $610 this year i had a "budget cut?" no. I spent more.

Thats how i think

The part that always blew me away about governmentese was when i realized that "budget cuts" meant the program isnt getting less money than last fiscal year, but their increase YoY has been reduced!

Do i have this right?

Google: "we want to hear how you think? It's safe."

Googler: "you suck."

Google: "just kidding. It's not safe. Bye bye."

Seems like dirty pool.

Is that what occurred?

Who is Jordan Peterson and whom did he interview?

<He was encouraged to give feedback like this so that the company could react to internal problems and self correct before they became worse.

I never got that. Ty. But isnt one of the mechanisms to get feedback making input anonymous? Did they ask for authored input? Really? About diversity?

I am naive for sure.

Would a hotel reservations agent google my name to find information? No.

Would an abb or home away person google me? Maybe - probably?

No reason individuals could book rooms independently in a hotel.

Let me present a walmart associate opinion on the person that was fired.

Tldr - sometimes really smart people do the dumbest things. Where was his common sense?

For the average associate i know the overarching Question would be did he not know he could be fired?

"I would have loved to go to college. I couldn't afford it. Id love to have a job at Google. He probably makes over one hundred thousand dollars. All those years spent in college to get a good job and to then lose it. Didn't he think saying something bad about your employer can get you fired? I cant go on Facebook and write sh#! about walmart and not expect to get fired or at least reprimanded. I just dont understand how people who are supposed to be so smart can be so dumb."

-- I am fortunate to have straddled upper and lower classes in my life. I learn new things working with adults who have never known a family member who attended college. Managers who never flew in a plane. The ground level view of living where you work to get by. The joy of life (imo, more joy with less wealth)

I have no outrage personally.

Holiday Inn: "Yes, we have availability. How many nights?"

Airbnb: fuck off.

To me, this is a perfect example of why hotels and motels will ALWAYS matter.

My take. She is a journalist. They have to write. She writes. We read.

The old saying is "everybody has one novel in them." updated verson: everyone has a blog post in them.

Her words are ok. Not inspiring whatsoever. Not dramatic. Not new.

I take it for what it is. Let her get better at her job.

Rule #1:writing dumb things gets you fired.

Rule #2: if you are inclined to write dumb things, bounce it off a buddy before you press Enter/send

Rule #3; pretend you want to be on the Supreme Court. When you write an opinion, even at a young age, do not write controversial things. Keep low to the ground

The dude was fired. Bad judgement.... Not some significant philosophical issue here..

I bet a 45 aged techie would know better and still have a job

Tips on this?

The next phases are better. It is the essence of faith that your future will be better than your past. You cant see how,now, but it will. The word confidence will overcome you because of it. Like "The Force"

Buy a ten year journal and jot down stuff. Read it every decade or so.

I read stuff i wrote in 1976 and wonder who wrote it. What was important then isn't now.

Every year gets better- even with things not always going perfectly.

You have a partner for your short time on Earth. As it spins the Earth as roulette wheel keeps randomly picking "a number" to which yours will be chosen.

The author used the word "terrified" groupthink bullies. I say it is not a fear as being grown up means outlandish words are understandable ( ie not grown up)

Its not about dissent...

I put opinion texts in the same category as amazon reviews: the first few are not to be believed.

I need to know how my relative thinks, not my neighbor's sister.

Yes. Tuning out people what i do.

< But this groupthink terrifies me when it’s used to bully people for exercising their right to free speech. How will we know what people are truly thinking if we rush to silence them?

This is called growing up.

We dont need to know how everyone thinks. We dont want to know either.

We tailor our words to our audience. We avoid saying or typing dumb things.

We only say what we really feel to our confidante.

These outwardly stupid writings are simply that: bad childish judgement.

I strongly recommend, at least once in your life, having a discussion or listening to gun enthusiasts. One on one. Not electronically.

As far as an anthropological opportunity there are none better.

Rarely does a subject rise to faith and rarely are discussions anything but binary. A rare opportunity i always enjoy with my gun friends.

What i love about these things is i have to think about back then

What phone was i using?

When did i last buy a roll of film?

First amazon order and what was it?

First online order?

When did i get rid of landline?

When did i stop using aol? When did i get gmail?

It's been years

Question: can a member bring in a guest?

I assume yes as my spouse accompanied me.

So? Why not create a way (app) to have members already in the lounge come and let in their "guest/SO"?

"Im available / not available for "guesting" flag

So.. Their orders won't decrease 24%

The remaining employees will have to work faster and harder.

<cutting 1,270 jobs from its New Jersey facility according to a public notice Friday. It had 5,202 workers as of March 31.

Doesnt that seem like a lot of employees?

I know an average walmart non supercenter store has around 210 total employees.

There tasks must be very labor intensive

Like how milk is always in the entrance-opposite corner of the grocery store

<So if you commit a felony at 18, you can't vote even when you're a 100?

I can tell you with 100% certainty that there are felons that vote. I believe the system in our county is not perfect and thus mails out a voter registration to a convicted murderer that served his time and is now free.

Is anyone elses reaction "What will they think of next?"

Anyone also surprised at the scope of positive and admission-comments?

Anyway, best of luck!!

The article mentioned sites sellers complain on. Do u read post to any? Which ones
