    Some of the most jealous people I’ve ever dated have been poly, the difference is they feel like they shouldn’t be so they’re in denial about it.call it other things.

    At least mono people will just say “I’m jealous”. Listening to another jealousy-adjacent complaint about some shit for the fifth time in a week is exhausting.

    This isn’t the case with all poly people obviously but every orientation has problems.

    This whole discussion is asinine.

    My comments aren’t meant to be a rigorous political philosophy.

    But sure. Any imaginary scenario, especially one that’s a picture of two lines of text, can be altered, with complexity added or removed on the fly, to change the parameters of that scenario.

    If everything is running well, as it would when you hire competent people to do their jobs, empower them to do them, stay out of their way, and fire incompetent ones, then the people will love you and removing you will be political / actual suicide.

    If it isn’t, then you can fire the people responsible (the person doing the hiring in your scenario - I’d argue that there’s be no reason to be loyal to the person that hired if them if they’re empowered to do their jobs, which I’ve covered, but I digress).

    I’d argue that if the person you’ve chosen to appoint people is somehow acquiring / retaining the loyalty of everyone they’re hiring despite their job having nothing at all to do with the jobs that they’ve hired someone for is a) not actually good at finding talented people b) not doing their job and c) a great example of someone to be fired as per my original system.

    I mean. If you get hired in a sales role and the hr person that hired you is like: tell me your secrets, you’re not going to spill all the beans just because she brought you on.

    The system works. Hire people that are good at their jobs. Fire those that aren’t. Do nothing.

    Ask around, then trial and error.

    Who fucking cares? I’m doing as little as possible all day. As long as things are getting done well in a timely manner I couldn’t care less.

    I’m here to do fuck all and make money for it, and the best way to do that sustainably is for things to work well.

    When you empower the people under you to do their jobs well then you’re not an impediment to their goals.

    All those things sound like a lot of work that I don’t want to do.

    As a good leader (not great, but good. Top 30% at least), I will hire people. I will fire those who need to be fired. I will hire replacements.

    That is it. If any of my underlings require more than a howdy doo every once in a while they are too high maintenance.

    Anything that detracts from my doing nothing as much as possible will be replaced.
