ThrowingLols

Family lives near the area where Andy Lau grew up in HK. My uncle used to regularly see Andy Lau’s dad at the local yumcha place.

I’m a huge fan and was always devastated that we never went there when visiting HK!!

Nicole the whole season trying to spread shit nobody was even interested in

SMH

$180-210 groceries per week

Family of 4 (1 baby, 1 toddler, 2 adults )

I am still on my 11, but my 16 Pro is coming in the mail soon.

It’s a great phone. Still works a dream

Agree that the conspiracy is stupid, but the points are just examples of leaders being completely change adverse and out of touch

OP, I’m sorry but none of these are valid “reasons” for RTO. And maybe they’re not your opinions, maybe you’re trying to present the views of some senior leaders who just don’t get it, but ultimately this all boils down to:

• poorly managed culture

• using wrong tech

• want a Band-Aid solution

—-

2. Like what? Coffee strategy meetings? Our org is 100% remote and our senior leaders do just fine drinking their own coffee or walking meetings.

3. People are still using the wrong tools and not engaging people properly for remote working. Miro is a great example -dude’s cursor isn’t moving and is on mute: freakin call them out.

4. > Forcing people to use digital tools to accommodate online attendees voids much of the benefit of being in a room: jumping up to use a whiteboard, splitting into nearby groups, etc.

and why exactly do you need the white board? Seriously so people not know stuff like Miro exists? Google docs? Zoom or Google meets allow splitting into groups at the click of a button. Sounds like a knowledge issue.

5. That sounds like a culture and hiring issue. Good managers foster that behaviour remotely just fine

6. Then organisations need better induction processes. RTO for this is a blatant Band-Aid

7. What work are people doing that they can roam off for so long? Do these places have no performance management? If you’re delivering well regardless of where you work = good. If you’re missing/unavailable/not delivering -you’d be that twat on the office who is either never at their desk or choc block full of excuses anyway.

8. If Tom isn’t available and you need the team, it’s called having a group chat. If the whole team isn’t available, it’s a culture problem. In the office it’s the equivalent of Tom not being at their desk and at the same time, his whole team is also always never at their desk.

9. Don’t gamble, hold accountable then. The poorly inducted manager has KPIs or OKRs right?

10. “Information security is much tougher” because everyone’s laptops are always locked in the office, and no one tells their spouses/family anything.

Yeh, none of those are WFO issues. All of them are problems with the organisation or issues that exist anyway in RTO

The LOL sounds more like your work lacks the skills to document properly. Confluence is probably the only thing that Atlassian shat out which actually works pretty well. Throw in other tools like miro and Google docs and you’re pretty set.

anyone who can’t navigate those must be technically stunted

And if you’re in the tech, detailed and clean repos.

If your org isn’t doing that, it’s a management problem

That’s BS

I have a number of Gen Zs that I have trained or report directly to me. They’re mature, ambitious individuals who I’ve found to be more grounded than my generation was (older millennial) when we were young.

I have to tear these kids from their laptops at 8-9pm because they “just want to finish a bit more”. Many have been caught online tinkering or pushing themselves just a bit too hard at freakin 2am.

Your 3 fired does not represent a whole generation of people. God I hope you’re older than millennial or Gen X because this was exactly the same BS we had to fight when we started in the workplace decades ago.

Your people team need to hire better young people or you guys need to onboard / drive better work culture.

The million minutes of “wanna grab a coffee?”

Low level isn’t true. Tech is still WFH friendly -unless you consider analysts / data scientists / engineers : project managers / product managers / etc to be low level

Excited! I’m upgrading from an 11

Looking forward to getting my phone -too bad I preordered late. It’s looking like October 😭

She has quite a few antis as well as stans

The word wars on whether she’s “worth the hype” is pretty common.

She’s also had a few “scandals” (which are really only scandals in Asia) like when she was caught swearing on set, and now with plastic surgery rumours

Ok. So I know Zhao Lusi has become controversial again (price of fame in the end), so this may be controversial in itself: but I’ve finally become a proper fan.

Started watching Gen Z and yes, I have to agree that she’s a pretty darn good actress. She has that “I just deliver takeaway, barely educated” strut down so well!! For an actor who usually plays girly roles, damn, that sold it for me.

This is why role variety matters so much. Up until now I’ve only caught glimpses of her range. I hope they keep changing up her work. I would like to see her in a ruthless killing role -modern or otherwise

Hard NO

I feel the same about butchered “ancient” hairstyles in period or xianxia dramas

Zhao Lusi is the only actress I’ve managed to watch a modern drama in (except Bai Lu in Forever and Ever but as all fans know, that was for therapy purposes 🤣)

Interested to see her play a more adult character! Also…that’s a lot of kissing lol

Hoony’s kitchen in Eastwood is a hidden gem. $22.90 for Korean food buffet (not bbq).

It’s a super low key buffet, no soft serve stuff but more like the budget buffets in Korea which is just alot of mains and sides AYCE. Great value for the price if you’re not fussed about ambience
