#psychology of business

[phoenixyfriend]

I wonder how many business majors turn out like I did: disillusioned leftists who view all they learned for that degree with a healthy dose of skepticism.

#don't get me wrong there ARE things that are worth knowing. how to distribute a supply chain or scheduling a project efficiently #I'm a big fan of how it taught me to understand tariffs and PPP and comparative productivity etc #but most of what I got out of it was either understanding economics at scale or understanding human psychology/sociology wrt capitalism #anyway. weird thoughts after the hbomberguy video mentioned Somerton was a business grad more than once #phoenix talks

Jasmine Al Ghul

A while ago the perfect assassin was born, she was Talia's daughter but Ra didn't like the rebellious look in her eyes, they were claiming for destruction and he knew that she would do nothing but destroy the League as soon as she could.

So he rejected her as the heir, something Jazz grew to resent. When the twins Danyal and Damian were born, one was clearly weaker than the other, considering that he was born without breathing and was only saved at the last second.

This made Ra make his decision: Damian would be the heir and Danyal his shadow. But Danyal wasn't interested in killing, no matter how much he was punished for refusing, he wanted to see, to explore, to learn. Everyone could see it.

Because Damian was spending more time on heir training, Jazz devoted herself to taking care of Danyal. She tried to teach him but the boy kept refusing, failing over and over again in the most simply things, Jazz hated him.

Until she stopped hating and became fond of him, feeling a kinship because of their grandfather's rejection. Danny taught Jazz things she had never considered (love, stars, a new interest far away from training, find the meaning of life simply by living) and she made her decision: she would save the boy.

Jazz escaped with Maddie Fenton (one of Talia's students) seeing she wantes to save them too and could pass as their mother, she took Danny with her. She couldn't leave him in that place, she wouldn't forgive herself.

Of course, Damian grew to resent his younger twin for taking their sister away. Blaming him for being weak, why did Jazz leave him behind? He could be a good little brother too, he was better than Danyal! In everything!

#dp x dc #dc x dp #dpxdc #jazz fenton #Danny and Damian are twins #but Jazz is their older sister #Ra didn't like her #She didn't hate Damian but never interacted too much with him #he was busy with extra lessons and stuff #of course she realized she leave him behind long before after she left #The reason she is so interested in psychology is because she wants to fit in society #and help Danny fit too #Jasmine Al Gul #Talia don't have a mother relationship with Jazz because she is too similar to her #Talia does like the twins because they are similar to Bruce tho #Maddie was Talia's student #She wanted to leave the League and live with Jack #league of assassins #Damian is resentful toward his younger brother #He doesn't understand why Jazz took Danyal and left him behind

Just realizing that the fact that there exists an “Angel Eyes” Eclipse implies the existence of either a more foreboding or comically innocent version of him called “Devil Eyes”

oh, Lumi, you just unleashed something devasting

As entertaining as a detective Eclipse would be, innocent and way in over his head when it comes to dealing with a mob boss Y/N who just so happens to find him devilishly handsome and too clever for his own good, I'm thinking of something worse than a mob boss.

As a young rookie cop, you are attempting to put out so many fires in the city. The crime rate is abysmal. The politicians are running on fumes and bribes. The police force is barely hanging on through constant corruption. Animatronics are still considered inhuman, unalive, objects to be owned and used, and disposed of. You're hoping that the laws declaring animatronic rights will pass soon.

Murders happen every single day in a city racked with gangs, crime lords, and thieves. You and a few other officers are tasked with dealing with a particular crime scene. It's not unusual for a politician to get assassinated, but there's something particularly brutal about the killing that sits in your stomach wrong—there was blood everywhere.

Then another important person gets knocked off, the carnage grisly and crimson, then another, and another. You can't shake how savage the murders are.

High-ranking officials start having you and other cops stand as bodyguards, taking them where they need to go, standing outside their meeting doors and on the street of their homes at night.

The killings keep happening. You learn of police officers who were standing watch were gutted, too. Slained just as well as the intended target.

You do your job, but you don't like it. You became a cop to help the city. This wasn't what you had in mind, much less babysitting powerful and possibly corrupted individuals that you despise.

That's how you confront him.

Late one evening, sitting in a squad car with a fellow policeman, you two keep each other awake with small talk until you hear the faintest scream. You both take off, and you take the back of the house. When you enter the gauche kitchen, there's a cook animatronic knocked to the ground. You stop to speak to the poor robot, her optics fuzzy until you offer a helping hand and get her back onto her wheels.

Before you can send her somewhere safe, a cold shudder rolls down your spine, as if someone were walking on your grave. You whirl around to find a towering figure at the far end of the room, dark and threatening. Black optics with pinpricks of electric yellow peer at you in judgment. The devilish eyes startle your soul.

You yell out commands to stop but the animatronic—you realize—doesn't head and disappears deeper into the house.

You give chase. You hear a gunshot upstairs and a shout from your partner. When you reach the second landing, you lift your gun to take aim, but a large fist clamp around your own. You fire once, hitting nothing. You're thrown against the wall, dangling by the wrists under the looming killer. Sharp rays, burgundy and royal blue, circle his face plate, splattered in bright blood.

It's too late. It's too late for the politician, it's too late for your partner, and it's too late for you.

He takes your gun and drops it far away. His staggering height gives no hope that you can fight him off, and already, he has you pinned. You simply hope that it will be quick, painless, but your heart sinks when he lifts a hand to your throat. His optics glint. You close your eyes.

A cold, slick finger tilts your chin up. He commands you to look at him, and you aversely obey. The optics scan your face. You wonder if he takes a sick pleasure from causing harm. You loathe that he most likely finds fear in your eyes but you are determined to not make a sound.

"Officer," he says in a cold, dark voice that spears your heart. He studies the badge on your chest, reading your last name etched in brass. You clench your fists, still suspended by his one large hand.

"Who are you?" you demand.

He doesn't answer. He cocks his head with a flash of sharp teeth in a metallic grin. When he drops you, you nearly crumple to the ground. You're aware of the blood underneath your chin where he had touched you. When you try to reach for your handcuffs, he's already down the stairs and out the door, fleeing the murders. Trembling, you fumble for your gun, but you find the clip gone.

The killer animatronic left you alive.

#ahhhh lumi! you make me go feral!!! #brain worms are worming #devil eyes #<<< au title hehe #listen this is dark and grisly and gonna involve psychological horror as eclipse stalks you lovely little cop you #he makes it knows that he knows where you live #you later find the clip of your gun on your table as if you set it there that morning but no that's not right #you keep chasing him #he keeps finding you at night #you're certain he's gonna kill you one day but he keeps busy with targets--specifically ones that oppose the animatronic rights #and you slowly start piecing together the puzzle that is eclipse #okay rant over thanks for reading my word vomit #officer!y/n #killer!eclipse

STOP TRYING TO FIT IN

Don't stay stagnant.

Don't let society trap you in.

Stop trying to fit into boxes and aesthetics.

You have the right to change and evolve. You have the right to change your choices in life.

You have the right to change your path.

If we know who we are, we are limited.

Create yourself.

Janeway doesn't need a therapist when she gets back to the alpha quadrant she just needs Tuvok to tell her [in detail] the psychological observations he's made about her over the past 11 years and she can go from there <- Untrue but much more likely for her to agree to

#Janeway #Tuvok #Tuvok is NOT a therapist......he is NOT a doctor WHY is he making 'psychological observations' about her???? #TUVOK. You are already a security head - a scientist (was an science ensign) - a detective an orchid breeder AND a lawyer #Janeway & Tuvok are so 'it be two dumbass girls telling each other exaaaaactlyyyy' #Janeway: And so then he came up to me- #Tuvok: A moment. Where were you sitting? #Janeway: In my captain's chair. #Tuvok: So you weren't engaging with him. You were 'minding your own business' as it were. #Janeway: Absolutely. #I still think it's funny that Tuvok is a lawyer more than once on Voyager. He studied law???? Oh really??? Is that what you're telling me?? #He's head of security so he passed his bar exam??? Kangaroo court. CLOWN SHOES!!!! #Tuvok is going to diagnose you bc he's your bestie <3 [HIS ASS IS NOT QUALIFIED]

Imo Jason is “irredeemable” by default because I don’t see what he needs redemption from.

#I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before but joining this fandom made me fucking hate the word ‘redemption’ #no person I’ve seen who is in love with the concept knows the who what where when why or how it should work in a story #apparently it isn’t just themes and tropes anymore people don’t understand the proper use of the word ‘villain’ #kelseethe #also hilarious: Jason should recieve sensitivity training HR style from Bruce ‘I’m the government and children are my cronies’ wayne #if Jasons headstrong/‘answers to no one’ attitude towards vigilantism is what makes people think he's villainous #I hate to be a broken record but the baddie you’re describing is Bruce #nobody thinks he’s a villain for only trusting in his own methods/self and repeatedly isolating himself #and on top of that gaslighting and hurting people around him in attempts to do what HE **thinks** is the right thing #you people always thought *him* heroic not problematic for all these traits #the only difference is Jason isn’t psychologically abusive & controlling #yet he’s still the bad guy just cause he liberally kills folks in the crime business. #l'd argue goth ham war is the b*tman story to remind you of everything that makes Bruce authentically himself #Idk how to tell you that Bruce mentally compromising/crippling his son in a twisted attempt to ‘save him from himself’ #is perfectly in line with slitting the same son’s throat because he couldn’t stand to see him avenge his own killer #and yk what a redemption arc could be interesting for someone like Bruce #because he rarely questions or doubts his choices esp wrt Jason. no matter how morally dubious they may be #I think it would be quite fun to witness his extremely restricted worldview be challenged/shattered he deserves that humbling experience

It has often been dismissed as utopian thinking, a pie-in-the-sky idea that wouldn’t survive contact with reality. But the four-day week has once again quietened critics, as the results of the world’s trial suggest that it’s a win-win for employees and their bosses. 

Workers who adopted a shorter week with no loss of pay were found to be happier, more productive, took fewer sick days and generated more revenue for their employers, a landmark study has found. 

The Study

Led by researchers at the University of Cambridge, England, the study assessed the impact of a pioneering four-day week trial, which took place in the UK between June and December 2022. Of the 61 firms that took part – among them online retailers, financial service providers and restaurants – 56 pledged to make the move permanent. [Note: That's 91% of the firms!!]

The Results

Researchers found that 71% of participants reported lower levels of burnout, with 39% saying they were less stressed than before the trial. What’s more, 60% found that they were better able to combine paid work with care responsibilities, while 62% said it was easier to combine work with their social lives.

Unsurprisingly, this translated into a 65% reduction in sick days, and a 57% drop in the number of staff leaving compared with the same six-month period the previous year. 

Concerns that switching workers to a four-day week would impact profits did not materialise. In fact, when compared to a similar period from previous years, organisations reported revenue increases of 35 per cent on average.

Trials have continually proved successful

"We feel really encouraged by the results, which showed the many ways companies were turning the four-day week from a dream into a realistic policy, with multiple benefits,” said Dr David Frayne, research associate at University of Cambridge. “We think there is a lot here that ought to motivate other companies and industries to give it a try.”

The trial involved two months of preparation, with workshops, coaching, mentoring and peer support for participants. Resisting the idea that the trial must be ‘one-size-fits-all’, each firm designed a policy tailored to its particular needs.

Some academics have questioned the merits of a four-day week, arguing that it can create more stress for employees because they have the same amount of work to do in fewer hours.

Nevertheless, with trials taking place around the world, often with positive results, the shorter working week appears finally to be going mainstream.

Of the UK trial, Joe Ryle, director of the 4 Day Week Campaign, said: “This is a major breakthrough moment for the movement towards a four-day working week. Across a wide variety of different sectors of the economy, these incredible results show that the four-day week with no loss of pay really works.

“Surely the time has now come to begin rolling it out across the country.”

case diggs. a college student working here as an intern, looks good on his resume and gives him extra credits. definitely spills coffee everywhere, hogs the water-fountain, and is the mastermind behind the "wear your best sweater" day at the office.

@kashisun , i say we burn all his sweaters for spilling coffee everywhere in the damn office.

ON GREED

Know when enough is enough.

In all aspects of your life.

There are people who always want more.

More money, more attention, more power, more sex...

These people will never be happy.

Know that there must be "a spot of satisfaction' for you. The spot where when you exceed that it's just a surplus, additional profit.

Getting rid of greed will help you advance. You will be happier, not because you will gain more, but because you'll know you don't NEED more.

I know I cast a lot of shit on Lion El'Jonson for not helping his brother Bobby G with running the Empire despite the fact that the Lion is a straight up soldier, not a "running things" type, but... like... we know what running the Imperium is doing to Guilliman's mental health and there is exactly zero chance that Jonson would ever fucking help him carry that weight.

Honestly, like... Vulkan needs to come back so much. What the fuck is our Best Lump of Charcoal (said with affection) doing? Vulkan is EXACTLY the support Guilliman needs.

#I mean Clonegrim could also do it but he's presently too busy being locked up in Trayzn's museum #this is honestly why I made Ailani #Guilliman deserves at least ONE timeline where he gets the emotional + psychological + administrative support that he needs #roboute guilliman #lion el'jonson #vulkan #primarchs #warhammer40k #warhammer 40000 #warhammer 40k #wh40k #40k

If you can understand that physical abuse doesn't generally happen out of pathological or sexual sadism you can also understand that sexual abuse doesn't generally happen out of pathological sexual or romantic attraction.

Your abusive ex didn't hit you because he gets off on hitting people. He did it because he's an assholr who wants power and control over you.

#control #the psychology of abuse #obviously SOME people get pleasure out of doing cruel things #but ask yourself: if you were to get pleasure out of something that is dangerous for you or others would you do it just for the sake of it? #gaslighting is about control. guilt tripping is about control. hitting is about control. every instance of this has a different cause #for the motivation. but the motivation conscious or not remains the same. control #i think i might just mute Tumblr in awhile for a week or so #i am pretty busy and i need to focus away from negative attitudes
