If you haven’t watched “American Pimp” from 1999 watch it. It’s a documentary and one guy says something to the effect of “I don’t call you a bitch because I don’t care about you, I call you a bitch because I don’t respect you” granted I’m going off decades old memories

They did that to me as a Paramedic In Training (PIT). But, in this case, it was using the "Bellevue Cocktail" to get them out of their Opioid High.

"WTF YOU DOIN' MAN? I PAID $350.00 FOR THIS POP!!!"

I watched these skels shake just looking at the Narcan filled syringe ...What fun! But those wee the good old days

Exactly..smooth brains think it’s just random

What people don’t understand about running a business when cash flow goes to shit..you need to eliminate fixed expenses ASAP and immediately stop hiring.

If the business functioned “yesterday” then we don’t need more people tomorrow. You need to reset and refocus.

So there is an immediate hiring freeze, which goes for anyone in the training pipeline unless they are superheros.

Sounds familiar right..probationary are now let go

Next up you stop all spending budgets and have management sign off on any expenditure from buying pencils to parts. That immediately stops frivolous spending as well as reviewing the mangers who are signing off on expenses…are they capable.

Sounds familiar right..credit cards with 1$ limit

Some babies get tossed with the bath water..just the way it goes. When a mistake is made you rehire or hire new.

The ones who don’t understand this never sat in a C-suite meeting and never had to make decisions that matter for the future of a company more than 100 people..usually those opinions come from the same people who think they know how to build a car better than “Toyota” because there’s a screw that’s hard to get to.

And generally in civil service, my experience was that a probationary employee (first 6 mo) could be fired without cause.

Amazing they actually knew what NARCAN was. Maybe also that it would make them Hurl their guts out!

Nailed this one, didn't I ?

All I know is she’s a "companion" from Washington.

One time I saw an amateur picture of some housewife showing off the goods. I went.. "Wait, I've been there!" Started racking my brain trying remember where it was and to place the spot. lol (road side picnic area near Vega Tx. A place I'd been for about 10 minutes, 20 years before)
