I will say that I know all 50 US states and there’s really no reason why I should, as a European.

As a European, would you travel to the USA in this current state if you were paid (10,000€) to do so? (Y/N)

No.

Absolutely not.

Bring it on, mafia state.

All the time lol, my brain does not keep up with my mouth at all.

Last week we were talking about how the Germans are good at making bread, and I said “yeah they have some experience putting things in ovens”. There might have been an audible gasp.

Have a look at the Copenhagen criteria. How much of that is even remotely realistic?

Today. It was a sunny day, I was back at the office after a couple of miserable sick days, I had good food. I was happy, or maybe very content is more accurate. Although happiness is pretty much my default setting.

That’s tough, and I hope you can manage it in such a way that it is not a huge detriment to the team. I hope you can also share this burden with your manager because that is a lot.

About the dating situation, I see a lot of downside (potential for messy drama, meltdown of an already vulnerable direct report, HR issues if things go wrong) and just a little upside. I’d keep it professional, and if you like her enough, I’d wait until one of you leaves for another job, and then get her number to keep in touch.

So John doesn’t like his job. He also seems to be not performing well. He is vocal about it to the point that it affects others. Are you, as his manager, addressing this issue?
