Shell Saying Things

Loved how the guy opened his 2019 chat with - you can say anything no one cares at Shell.

 

Then he spent like 1 mil dollar on marketing trying to discredit what would be said. 

 

You have to care to spend a mil on it.

 

I don't get the whole point of running someone around until people are dead with Jackie Singh smearing the word "cunt" all over her Twitter replies. 

 

What is the point of saying anything if you are not saying it together? 

 

As far as I can tell she knew there had been one suicide already before 2019. Someone allegedly run around for having an affair on a business trip or caught up in some scheme I have seen multiple times now which looks like trafficking yet the folks involved are not educated on what trafficking is.

 

Why do it? 

Why not state every word in your head?

You are damned if you do and damned if you do not anyway. No one asked or had any engaging conversation. They just read a document that never went to HR and went ballistic sending it to Jackie Singh. I don't enjoy the whole anti-hero - hero collaborative she has built. Took me 7 entire years to figure out someone sent her a document that never went to HR by me. Where the whole "cunt" theme she spun up came from.

Or maybe it did go to HR, maybe my boss nailed them to the wall incorporating many views when I left? I wouldn't know. Maybe she is a newly minted multi-millionaire from it.

 

They HAD to pull out of a Shell home drive. I used encrypted disks forever.  

Now I don't care - some bro I never heard of is going to come after me anyway and has. 

 

Abortion

Somewhere along the way someone decided my life study should be the sociological and legal impacts of abortion, and this is an entire focus area and in some cases career for people. How was I supposed to do that and finish studying the extreme breadth of tech it took to ensure cybersecurity is improved in a business?

It is like having someone choose your path, not tell you directly you must take it, require that you argue for it (without being as versed as you should be) and making you shut down everything you did and wanted to think about in a day. 

Literally this is the man who has stalked me. He has stalked me so long on the Internet and with such intent he wants to see me dead (there is no doubt about this). I literally do not wake up thinking about the topics he cares about. 

I could also spin away my days thinking about my hamster that ate it's own litter while I was in ballet school traveling with a pet. Can I change hamsters? Run them through a new maze? Study their sociology and see if I could change is? Sure? Think I did that as a science expirament once. Yet I do not now, because it's not a career path I have chosen for myself.

 The question is why the guy won't ID himself if he feels strongly on the subject? 

Sam Hinde

I prefer Sam Hinde when he feels free to say the word cunt after work. Because I honestly do not care what he says in the pub. 

On the other hand, I was latched down and accountable for every person I liked - their gayness, their transgenderness, their cussing, their blackness, their activism, or their freeness. The hammer always came down hardest on me. I was never going to be perfect enough.

My boss was rolling after me thinking a feminist attack was coming to get him.  

I couldn't even have a fucking party just to unwind without some woman in power yelling it is done to just get job promotions. 

 

The anti-social behavior of people who surround me makes me miserable.

 

I also do not want to become a marketing event? Find the person who does and build one, I will bring some attendees or show up.

 

I just want to go play golf, go bike, go hike, have a cigar, have a drink, relax and vibe in a good way. Most of the day at work people are not vibing in a good way. 

Amazingly they are much easier to work with when you have had some good vibe at some point together so there is that bonus.

What made Amy Lundblad Smith "Rich"

She never did explain what she settled on. Rich in love or rich in wealth? I can't call anyone because they are sick of the stalking story.

She came to my home, announced she is rich and retired. I did the math, don't get it. There is a data point I am missing.

It didn't help anyone's life since they also used her as source material for stalking.

  

Blog as Short Form Twitter - Changing work cultures and adapting

It is very hard to switch between a boss who needs a memo formally for everything, you cannot dress how you want, then move to one who will write about "dicks in the alleyway" in a PowerPoint. It is PBS vs HBO. 

Good managers team-build. What culture are we going to have? The clients? Ours? Both? 

I assure you I would have been fired from my last 10 jobs if I made a Power-Point with a movie quote about a man with a hard-on. 

I walked into a culture where this is acceptable and it is very shocking.

Ramblings... 

I am going to look at that PowerPoint, and then ask myself - why have I gone home every day for 20 years hating myself because I chose the word "you" instead of "we" trying to keep the seas calm at work.

If I have a choice I'd probably pick the culture where someone can make a joke and not remain in fear. Yet how do you know what culture you are in to begin with?

I hate fear culture. I hate double standards. I hate living in a time when people cannot decide what culture they want (formal or casual) and it is exceptionally polarized. 

If you do not have time to build your team culture reducing fear, not much is going to get done but retaliation and politics.

Your first message out the gate was "I'm going to send people after you if you don't delete files". Which files? I have some, you have some, we all learn from each other to produce something better. Our common goal is supposed to be protecting...the client, or our nation..or nothing. I thought your product was "open sourced"? 

Is it the "training" that is uniquely valuable enough to shred? 

 

Maybe it is not protection at all, it is developing for others to make decisions off of.

 

- Are we going to openly discuss that there have been suicides and people rolled out on a stretcher here?

- Or are we going to be the liability prevention specialists running around with NDA's? Don't discuss it -we don't care if it happens again. Paid off pretty good for his family. Or the changers?

- Are we fixing fear and hate or are we going to wallow in a nice environment of retaliation and punching back until the boss wins because he simply has power?

- What is our mission? What gap are you trying to fill by having me here?  What job am I accepting? Are we doing good cop bad cop? Did you just need a body to schlep into a project?

- What about cybersecurity are we aiming to fix? How is it going to add value to the client? 

- Are you body shopping roles to just make some money and I'm a bot to fill it in?

 

You skipped establishing the goals. Should I suggest you establish them? You seem like someone very confident you have everything sorted out. Probably going to reject any suggestion of team-building. 

Go out and get shit done. 

Ok, yet you assigned me to a project where the actual activity is not "doing anything". I've had that job before and I hate "not doing anything" jobs.

 

 

 

Procedures for Privacy Incidents

I don't think the legal team quite understands impossible conditions. Someone run around with death threats and a man killing someone based on use of this data has no capacity to file a report in the correct window to claim these. We are not super hero's we are human.
