According to Johns Hopkins the mortality rate in the US is 1.8%, and 2.3% in the UK.
Most countries report at least 1.5% with some as high as 9%.
So, ah, yeah… I think it is okay to say 2%.

It was pretty awful. I’ve been flying since before o remember so I’m not squeamish. It was a bad flight.

Indeed. Very interesting conversation. Thanks for sharing all the research.

I’m not saying she made a good decision. I’m not suggesting she was forced. But she was an intern and was manipulated by someone with a lot more power, wisdom and prestige than herself.
He’s the one that cheated on his wife and she couldn’t show her face in public. She was so much younger than him and he took advantage.

Well, I’m glad. But like @famousone, I want to actively ignore her.

Yeah. Same. What was the movie?

You want to know which scripture they’re reading, don’t you?

Keep reading the series. The first few are good, but the next few are much better. So much gold.

Easy solution, don’t send your 4 year into the bathroom alone. Who does that?!

They refer to the phenomenon as implicit bias. Most people don’t think that they are selecting based on gender, they truly believe they are selecting the best person for the job. In the Case of board and C-suite, the ripple effect of men be more likely to be promoted makes the candidate pool of women very small—further compounding the issue.

Harvard business review published a study about the gender divide at top level. They pointed out that statistically, companies with an equal number of women at the top perform (over time) better than those dominated by men. They also found that male leaders were hired when things were going well and often female leaders were hired when things were already failing, then blamed for the failure.
They also published a study that showed when hiring based on a specific skill (in this case playing a musical instrument) when the interviewer didn’t know if the candidate was male or female, women were selected more frequently (by a statically significant amount).

Yeah. Before the pandemic, I was always pretty staunchly opposed to WFH (for myself). I liked the separation both mental and physical and the ritual of preparing for and going to a place to get work done.
As it turns out, I like the hybrid schedule. My work consists of a variety of projects and tasks, so I do some things better in different spaces.
Not really a one size fits all in terms of the type of work and the person.
