The one thing scrum has succeeded in is creating an industry of people that get paid to do little work, which is fine as long as they don’t take themselves seriously enough to get in the way. Bullshit jobs are a needed feature of a well run economy.
See, back in MY day, that kid would get his ass kicked. And the teacher would look the other way.
Nowadays EVERYBODY in a fight gets suspended. Context doesn’t matter.
Sorry whatever gen is after Z. Your generation is going to be full of assholes who all think they’re right, but 97% of them won’t be. It’s been a growing problem for 40 years ago. But at least you USED to punch the trouble makers in the mouth. Then they knew in the future to shut the fuck up.
That’s just how it was in the 80s/90s. And it wasn’t like I’m saying I and I alone was dealing out justice to all those that pissed me off. I’m saying the reason teachers do this is SPECIFICALLY because of what I’m saying. The one kid does this annoying shit, and the whole classroom sends him home a bloody mess. And when he goes to complain to his mom, and his mom asks “What’d you do?” and he tells her, she punches him in the mouth and tells him to stop being a little shit at school, and the kids will stop beating his ass.
You use /s but that is the double standard I always thought of. That and how it seemed odd that they wanted us to be responsible for babysitting each other.
Sorry this has got me a little heated bc this kinda shit happened to me all the time in school and it sucks to know it’s still an issue.
Homeless at 18. First apartment at 20. Put myself through college going part time while working 2 jobs, 21-25. Bought my first home at 29. Hit 6 figures at 33. Now in the top 10% of earners in my city.
I had no one, no support network. Just me and a goal and strategic hard work every single day.
The tough part is I’m now in my mid 30s and have had very little life experience because all I’ve been doing is working. Never been on an airplane or have been on a vacation. No passport or friends or social life outside of 2 internet friends. It’s been tough to sit down and figure out what will actually make me happy now that I’ve achieved my life goals.
