First Delmonico’s visit ever.
The day Jimmy said only pretty girls get to come here.
I don’t get why someone Jimmy didn’t bring here reposts their same fingerprint smudged wine glasses and mostly masticated food from six years ago every eight days.
So I will see if my only Delmonico’s repost in 11 years makes me want to ride an old lady scooter too.
An author I love is really pissed about the Coldplay couple situation.
Yes, the CEO issued a half-assed apology with a “BUT.”
Yes, he resigned anyway because of optics.
Which, I do agree with my author friend that our country values productivity over character. And let’s face it, who can be productive in that environment right now.
But while everyone is climbing to some moral high ground over this, I dare any of them to shake the sheets, as it were, and show us that no skeletons fall out of them.
Bet most of them can’t. The same asshole who called me a baby killer on Facebook yesterday probably disappointed a woman like me who could pay for her own damn abortion. But he sure benefited from it.
In any event, I read a piece in the WSJ about how happy we all are when a CEO gets taken down.
Interesting coming from the one newspaper that almost exclusively serves the wealthy. It implies we hate the wealthy.
Like go back to carrying Habanero Hitler’s water, WSJ.
Also, this was a startup CEO. He might not have been making jack. At least, not compared to the Fortune 500 CEOs. But hey the company had a box at Coldplay, so who knows.
In any event, yes I absolutely support Luigi and wish there were a Mario to “just do it already.”
That said, it’s these CEOs and/or some other Peter Principled person who actively made our lives hell.
Like whoever this girl works for.
So it’s amusing to see one of them reap what they no doubt sowed.
But no, I don’t take any joy at seeing non-Cheetodusted humans taken down by the public.
They have enough to deal with privately.
One of my people reminded me of another company where the CEO was diddling the HR person. I had forgotten about that.
He died last year. When I sent condolences, the HR person was the first to say thank you.
Ha. Now it makes sense why.
I imagine other people with big feelings on the topic have things to say.
Only thing I’ll say is it is quite suspicious how she rose up the ranks quickly. But maybe she was a superstar. Who knows.
Who knows, indeed. WE don’t.
The thing with the company I referenced earlier, and even this one too when we worked in the office, is we buddied up for survival.
Lots of best friendships happened. Marriages happened — quite a few of them! And, yes, some breakups and divorces too, to pave the way for them.
My best guess on the Coldplay couple is they were working long hours under duress. It’s only natural to take comfort from your fellow warriors. Being in a pressure cooker requires more comfort than it should sometimes.
I would also guess based on a house that was just bought five months ago that no one had any plans to leave. Just to enjoy the moment and move on.
I relate to that part. Let it run its course and be a better human when it’s over.
That happens more often than not, I’d imagine. And the longer it’s prolonged, say, through social media, the more life it gets than it ever deserved.
At least these spouses are class acts and not acting simple in response.
That’s how you claim the high road.
Not acting in such a way that people go, yeah, I can see how that happened now.
