#senior leadership

[coolasakuhncumber]

The decision has been made. I will not be returning to this job after the surgery.

I deeply love this work and what it stands for and is trying to achieve but the senior leadership is making it impossible to be here.

#work #working hard or hardly working #currently #senior leadership #i busted my gut for 4 months to impress a leader and show how capable I am and she left and I dont really respect the replacement #this will be the third time I've left this work area haha #i want to do this job but my body is suffering for it and it's not worth it #pretty sad about this tbh but this is where we are

On one hand, Elrond really is an outstanding person, and by the end of the Third Age there aren't many people who can say they can match his wisdom

On the other hand, it's really endearing how Aragorn is constantly like "I can sing you this song but Elrond would sing it better :/" "I will try to heal you but Elrond would do it better :/" "I remember this but Elrond would remember it better :/"

#it's part aragorn claiming his peredhel-adjacent heritage by recognizing elrond's leadership and seniority #and part 'estel thinks dad is THE BEST' #(i bet he's even less chill about gilraen)

On Kouyou and Mori's relationship

@2offayyo-kzt THANK YOU FOR ASKING because you prompted me to talk about Kouyou and I love talking about Kouyou. Original post the reply is referring to.

Okay most of it comes from the Kouyou / Mori / Chuuya scene at the closing of the guild arc. First off: in chapter 37 we are made aware that Kouyou decided to stay at the agency of her own accord. Besides from the reasons she had to stay, it's just pretty cool how it's confirmed that Kouyou doesn't feel like having Mori's orders or will she has to answer to and just... Pretty much is free to do whatever she wants. She doesn't care about what Mori requires from her - Mori who most definitely would have wanted her back at the pm as soon as possible - and just acts of her own accord, which is something that even Chuuya doesn't do.

Following up, Kouyou and Mori also reflect over how she's perfectly capable of freely leave the pm, yet she chooses not to (btw her little smirk following Mori acknowledgement of her abilities is SO cute). Again, it goes to show how independent she is from Mori (pretty much putting her on his same level I guess?), being able to leave the pm facing no consequences or retaliation, and just in general how master of her fate she is. It's nice, it's RARE for a franchise where female characters are usually just thrown from one side to the other by external factors and rarely get to choose for themselves.

Then - and so far I strayed a bit from the initial matter, but this is most relevant to the point I was making in the original post - she says “Shut up. I'll sew your mouth shout.” There's A LOT in those lines because it plainly shows how she just... Doesn't fear Mori, doesn't fear calling him out on his creepy behavior, doesn't fear (playfully? ← arguable) menacing him. She's just so unbound and free and self-governed, and totally unbothered by Mori unlike any other character (except for, well, Elise, who's part of Mori herself). It's a joy to see.

Next, the volume 10 extra. The “that's why I told you”, “I'll punch you”, it all goes to reinforce the concept that Kouyou is perfectly unafraid of Mori and doesn't shy away from calling him out and scolding him even sternly. But it's especially interesting to compare her behavior with Chuuya's. Where Chuuya tries to find accomodations for Mori, Kouyou scolds him, and later even accuses Chuuya of being “spoiling him”; their approach is completely different, and as a consequence their relationships with Mori are diametrically opposite. Again, back to my initial point: even Chuuya, who is one of the most self-reliant characters of them all, knows he has to answer to Mori, and accordingly treats him with respect; Kouyou is perfectly unbothered and unafraid.

And even more examples: chapter 42, Kouyou openly arguing with Mori's decision, lacking that mentality that is shared between pm operatives that Mori's plans are infallible and there's no point in questioning them (just think about how sure, confident and even smug Chuuya was about Mori's plan during the Guild arc, chapter 22). Chapter 43, Kouyou spending “half a year's worth of founds” to attack a government van, which I can guess goes against what Mori wants for the pm (lol) and once again just shows how Kouyou... Freely bosses around and does whatever she wants, answering to no one.

With this I'm not saying Kouyou doesn't care about Mori. She DOES care about Mori, she just doesn't in a “subordinate is loyal to their superior” kind of way. She cares about Mori, the thing is that she does because she chooses to and not for any other constraint, which arguably makes her the person that is closer and most loyal to him?? Because she has no second means for being loyal to him, and just does that because she wants to, which makes her loyalty the truest, most authentic one. And Mori knows that, and that's why she deserves to be the next pm boss, and I know they (authors) will never make her but she deserves it and she's the pm boss of my heart end of conversation.

Headcanon time while we're at it, I like to think for Kouyou to address to Mori so informally and familiarly is a way to make up / compensate for the trauma she underwent with the previous boss. When Mori killed the previous boss, she swore she would have never lived in fear again, and even though she ultimately decided to stay in the darkness, it's now her choice; a choice she personally and freely makes despite being aware of potentially, realistically being able to leave at any moment. Addressing Mori as he was her equal is a way for Kouyou to remind to herself about how free and unbound she is.

About Mori and Kouyou, I like to think they had this siblings-like relationship since before Mori became boss I mean, they canonly go cherry blossom sighting together. I like to think a very small, subconscious part of Mori killed the previous boss because Mori held resentment towards him for hurting Kouyou- but that's definitely straying too far alcbdklzbdkskxbks. I like to think Kouyou wanted Kyouka in the pm because she genuinely believed that under hers and Mori's lead Kyouka could be happy, that the pm was the place that most would have welcomed Kyouka, welcomed what Kouyou believed to be her nature.

#Anyways thank you for asking Op akdbdksbos I love talking about Kouyou #bsd #bungou stray dogs #“But how can you say Kouyou is fit to be the next boss when we never saw her holding remarkable leadership skills” #well maybe we would have if they cared to give female characters more than 0.5 seconds of screentime. #But since they don't‚ I can perfectly make up whatever I want for her skills and characterization #(Besides‚ she's part of the four / three pm executives‚ that must amount to something??) #Also chapter 46? The way Chuuya looks at Kouyou before making the decision of attacking the ada?? As if asking for her permission? #Which is NATURAL and VALID since Kouyou is his senior and has been in the pm way longer than he has?? #And is closer to Mori too for the matter??? Aaahh c'mon‚ it's like she's already the second boss. #Kouyou's role in the Cannibalism arc was to personally guard Mori. C'mon. #kōyō ozaki #Tbh very unpopular opinion but I always felt like Kouyou was like. an accidentally well written female character. #ōgai mori #Also not to fuel my “Mori and Kouyou have a close-siblings like relationship” headcanon but chapter 19: #Chuuya: The ADA took Kouyou hostage #Mori (literally‚ I'm not making it up): Well that's rather unfair. Right then! Let's kill the head if their agency. #Uh #bsd analysis #mine

me at the women in leadership conference: ah yes I will be so good at corporate leadership, I have many leadership insights

me at the pub an hour later: *actually uses leadership skills for labour organising like a boss*

#red said #my senior manager talked me into going. i did not hate it. #but i did extremely hate SOME elements #ie 'women are naturally better leaders because they're more Empathetic and Nurturing' #also 'nature is hierarchical there are leaders and followers' #once again only one person showed up to the union drinks #but we have a 3 point plan of action and hopefully that will give us some momentum #we've selected our national union we've identified the pathway to key leadership buyin to protect us if managers get shitty #and we have a plan for an initial open meeting

[digisurvive]

I feel part of people's frustration with Shuuji might be to cultural differences. A lot of complaints I have seen is people saying that they Did Not Force Shuuji into the leader role and tried to make him Step Down, but they are lacking the cultural nuance that it is expected of him to take care of them and make sure they all come back home bc he is their senior/the oldest. It's actually something you can see in part 2 where it's only Takuma, Aoi, Ryo and Minoru at the school, they talk about who should be in charge and the only candidates proposed are Aoi and Ryo because they're Takuma and Minoru's senpai. At that point, neither of them want to step up the responsibility, so it's only Shuuji who is willing to take the role and actively keep them safe even if he fails so badly at doing it lol No one else is there to be willing to be responsible for all of them and guide them, and it'd be extremely rude and irresponsible of Shuuji to push the responsibility on Takuma. He actually feels a lot of guilt for how much heavy lifting Takuma has to do to keep the group together and says as much multiple times. His character is very much tied to responsibility and it'd eat him inside not to fulfill his duties. Like ywah, he does an extremely piss-poor job trying to fulfill them but the game is rather in your face about all the reasons he can't just wash his hands and push it all on Takuma.

#Shuuji Kayama #Kayama Shuuji #digimon survive spoilers #Digimon Survive #Shuuji #Idk lol sorry for making posts in response to what I see on the tag I understand ppl disliking him but complaining about him not stepping #Down the responsibility of leadership when the game is rather obvious about the conflict over individual needs and duty is like HMMM #Shuuji being the oldest is the reason no one is willing to confront him head on about his behavior #Like you're not supposed to be confrontational to your elders #Takuma is very polite and always follows social etiquette so he'd never be direct to Shuuji like Kaito and Ryo are (who are rude boys) #Even when Minoru and Saki are more fed up with him they resort to passive aggression and mocking him behind his back bc he's their senior #Aoi is also too proper to confront him directly like Takuma and this is actually something she constantly laments and is even one of her #Biggest misgivings in Wrathful lol

#so we’re back to this eh #tag rant #I don’t WANT to learn new skills I don’t WANT opportunities to grow I don’t WANT to be included in conversations with senior leadership #I don’t WANT to be giving feedback to creative directors #and moreover I don’t think it’s fair to literally anyone to ask creative directors to receive feedback from me #me who is like 3-4 titles below these directors with decades less experience #yes I know I have potential and I know I’m talented or whatever but #no one else at this table is looking at me as a talented supervisor #they’re looking at me as an underperforming director #idk idk idk I can’t articulate what’s causing me to have an emotional aneurysm rn #bc it’s not that I’m being given responsibilities for the next title up. that’s fine I’m okay with that #I think it’s that no one seems to be acknowledging the power dynamic and idk how to bring it up myself without sounding too sensitive #or maybe that they’ve given me an opportunity I didn’t ask for and now I’m flailing and being judged for it. when it’s THEIR fault #work woes #whatever I’ll fake it until I either make it or get put on a PIP. and I know they’ll never put me on a PIP #and on the plus side I’m receiving a monumentally helpful crash course in what my core strengths truly are

[mariacallous]

There’s this one part of a project our team is working on that everyone kind of agrees is bullshit and useless but senior leadership want it and I’m trying to make it work and get started on it but it’s such bullshit.

#it’s a standardized checklist to be used across programs with common milestones or requirements #which sounds good in theory but everyone already has there own which works for them and reflects the nuances of their work #and this standardized one is just something that the senior leadership is asking for because they want it #even though LITERALLY NO ONE ELSE has asked for this or thinks this would be helpful #so I have to waste my time and effort to figure this out and create something which either no one will use #or which will just be one more piece of paperwork on top of everything else #and with all the different components of each area’s checklist and the different ways they use them it’s surprisingly hard to match things

Their Mental Acuity? Questionable at Best

It's not just that Mitch McConnell had an episode that could have been an outtake from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Hell, he's got the jittery, confused demeanor down pat. And it's not that Feinstein and Trump have become symbols of a generation lost in its own dementia, though that would make a fascinating psycho-political study in itself. What's so damn alarming is that these individuals are put in positions of immeasurable power, wielding influence over the masses, despite the clear signs that their cognitive abilities have departed, leaving behind only delusional hubris and incomprehensible jargon.

Take, for instance, the recent episode with McConnell. His face twitching like a glitching NPC in a poorly designed video game and his subsequent confusion were nothing short of terrifying. It's a symptom of something much larger: a system that's malfunctioning and in desperate need of an upgrade.

Trump/Biden 2024: A Nightmare Sequel

We've been here before. The Trump/Biden shitshow is like a terrible sequel to a movie that nobody asked for. Trump, the unhinged madman who's turned American politics into his personal circus, and Biden, stumbling his way through speeches as if he's trying to decipher ancient hieroglyphics. This isn't a race to the top; it's a slow, agonizing crawl to see who can keep their dentures in the longest.

Age Doesn't Always Mean Wisdom

No, I'm not being ageist. Fuck that. What I'm saying is that wisdom doesn't always come with age. Sometimes, age brings senility, rigidity, and a refusal to adapt. We shouldn't hand the keys to the future to individuals who can barely remember where they put their glasses.

The veneration of age as wisdom has gone too far. It's time to look at the cold, hard facts. Statistically, we've got more than a few in Congress who are off their fucking rockers. It's not cute; it's not endearing. It's a danger to the very fabric of our society.

Conclusion: Time for a Change

It's about time we stopped coddling these senior statesmen like they're adorable, bumbling grandparents. They're not. They're at the helm of a nation, steering it towards oblivion with a lack of understanding of modern problems and an obliviousness to the technological intricacies of our world. The balance of power has tilted drastically, and we can no longer afford to be enslaved by traditionalist and boomer influence. The future demands a more diverse, more acute, more adaptable generation at the helm.

So here's a message to the geriatric politicians: retire, rest, write a memoir. But for fuck's sake, stop running the country into the ground.

#geriatric #geriatricpoliticians #age #the critical skeptic #mental acuity #time for change #out with the old #in with the new #age doesnt mean wisdom #old doesnt mean wise #senile leadership #no more dinosaurs #political reform now #enough is enough #retire the relics #unhinged in congress #ditch the delusions #senior are children with money
