    Statistically, mediocre managers get promoted, AND many managers get comfortable and STOP striving to learn more on how to engage their employees and bring out the best in everyone! EVEN WHEN you gave them a copy of Gallup's "12 Elements of Great Managers" book, which is incredible.

    I think it's cheating to spend more than you usually would on yourself on dining, etc., unless you are entertaining a very high-value individual for your business. I had luxurious (I thought) expense accounts when I traveled for the Red Cross, and I donated back whatever I did not use, which was a lot. Maybe I am unusually honest in today's climate, IDK.

    Almost all companies present an open, caring, nurturing culture, with good honest management who care about the worker, very few have it. This place covers for, covers up, defends & lies to protect racists, bigots, sexism, misogyny & hate speech, while attacking, lying to and about, threatening those who point it out.

    Some Americans are overly invested in their jobs. Americans self identify more with what they do as who they are. I think Americans who are career driven in salaried positions do not feel they can be away from work for extended periods.

    That was a losing battle for me for twenty years. I was a college teacher with increasingly more and more on line classes and fewer and fewer long walks across campus to classrooms. I carried basically the same lunch of a piece of fruit, half a low fat sandwich, and carrot and celery sticks along with a large cup of water. Although I considered that healthy, it wasn't enough, and I was always famished when I got home and too tired to exercise. There was a gym on the way home from school, and I'd go almost daily after school for stretches of a month or two before I'd have after school errands or just too much exhaustion to bother changing clothes and getting bored on the treadmill or elliptical. For any consistency at all, I had to have full free days of holidays and summer breaks. I've now retired and can much better manage time for regular exercise, including water fitness classes, yoga, and cycling. Also, my diet is more varied and interesting.
