Please, help us develop. We're looking to go public in a year, and want the IPO to go for as high as possible so we can cash out and retire.
You have posted the most.
I doubt there is much I can tell you.
I am a simple guy, just enjoying a chat or two with people that have the same interests as me.
Jokes about sex, swearing etc do not work for me.
Che.
Sorry, dude, don't mean to be an asshole, even though it comes naturally much of the time, frequently unintentionally (I assure you).
But surely you can see the, uh, "naivete" of somebody walking into an already existing community and wanting everything/everybody to change, seemingly just for their behalf.
The term here is "mutual respect". In the American workplace, that has come to mean that if a new employee walks into an environment and is offended by a long-standing "group culture", that they have a right to complain and get changes made, no matter how innocuous the perceived offense may be, no matter how long-standing and tightly-knit the existing culture may be, and no matter how inclusive said culture has proven to be in terms of who is/isn't accepted (truly accepted)over time. That's certainly not "mutual respect" in my book, that's one person who may or may not have a complex using policy to exert their will over many. The possibility of respecting a pre-existing culture and trying to work within its framework is apparently obsolete, as is the notion of getting to be one of the group instead of trying to get the group to be one of you.
Fortunately, this is not the American workplace. This is a jazz bulletin board.
