Yes, working in Europe in any capacity sounds more interesting that doing the same thing here, I agree.Agree. In college, I worked in retail and then as a receptionist at a hair salon, and it was insanity, all day, every day. lol
True. How can I have the best of both worlds?
Totally agree with you on this. But, there's something mystical about Europe to me, the bistros...the cafes. Everyone sitting about in the middle of the afternoon, sipping their espressos, talking about art. Just seems more chill than your average Starbucks.
My job before this one, super corporate. This job, moderately corporate.
What was international banking like? Sounds like it could be sexy, in small doses.
There needs to be structure, and rules - yet there also needs to be team building and equity of treatment. To blend these worlds together would equal the perfect employer. Maybe it's out there, just waiting to be found.
I'll give it much consideration, indeed. Thank you for sharing this.
If you believe so.That trope has nothing to do with my post, however.
Of course. It has nothing to do with your stereotypes of management; it is all someone else's problem, or more likely, psychological problem on my part. I must be one of those management types, or perhaps one of those clueless ivory tower out of touch types - certainly not a regular guy with common sense.Meanwhile: These misreadings of yours, accompanied by irrelevant pejoratives, are becoming more frequent. Reading comprehension problems? A psychological need to fit my posting into some pre-ordained category of "populist"?
Corollary to the Peter Principle: Once you have promoted all of your competents to their highest level of incompetence you must change your management philosophy from top down to bottom up, because the non corrupt people at the bottom are the only competent ones in your entire organisation.However
Not everyone in a management position belongs there

My post was openly sympathetic to the good executives put into bad situations, paid no attention to the relative value of any blue vs the white collar work mentioned (except to imply that individual executive performance was significant, without mentioning such individual significance for line work), and referred to the executives being hard working - all of them mentioned or implied, good and bad.If you believe so.

In an earlier post I had praised you as not "going with your gut" a la W and Reagan and Trump et al, but reasoning instead - even against your instincts. Nowhere have I disparaged the common sense of regular guys who know what they are doing, and never have I identified that regular common sense as "going with your gut" when lacking knowledge - just the opposite, always.I must be one of those management types, or perhaps one of those clueless ivory tower out of touch types - certainly not a regular guy with common sense.
It is almost a direct opposite of Trump's speaking on this matter. It pivots on praise of the practical benefits of booklearning and scientific research for executive management of industrial production, for chrissake.You could be writing this stuff for Trump rather than wasting it here.
As far as these particular weird misreadings, specifically, it's some kind of problem on your end, entirely. I don't know what - you do tend to bothside political matters, regardless of the distribution of physical or historical fact, so some kind of vulnerability to rightwing propaganda is more than implied. Other than that - does it matter? Whatever it is, it can be fixed by more careful reading, less reflexive and flagrantly mistaken pigeonholing.; it is all someone else's problem, or more likely, psychological problem on my part

$$$. (Well, maybe not. Trump does have a history of not paying his workers.)and that would suddenly not become wasted for what reason ?
i really should not respond$$$. (Well, maybe not. Trump does have a history of not paying his workers.)
Just came across this:

DEPROGRAMMING THE CULT OF THE WORKPLACE PERSONALITY TEST
Introverted, extroverted, thinking or feeling? There’s really only one trait the personality-test industry is ever assigning to you: Gullible AF.
"Quick personality quiz just for fun: Which character from nightmare dystopian fiction are you?
Wait, did we forget to actually ask you any questions? That doesn’t matter. Your responses wouldn’t have affected the accuracy of your results, and the $4 billion personality-assessment industry has already decided the outcome for you in any case: As far as it’s concerned, you’re all of the above, your path in life has been determined and there’s not a damn thing you can do to change that."
- Mostly ‘A’s: You’re Winston Smith from George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four — emotionally led, impulsive, prone to harboring romantic notions of freedom.
- Mostly ‘B’s: You’re Josef K. from Franz Kafka’s The Trial — methodical, vain, terminally untrustworthy.
- Mostly ‘C’s: You’re Offred from Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale — relying on intuition, you’re an ideal people-person (or, at least, you’re fertile).
- Mostly ‘D’s: You’re Vincent from the 1997 movie Gattaca — you’re genetically deficient and predestined to fail in all that you do.
A test for such people to ensure they do NOT end up in positions of authority would be great.im such a type A personality, i am only comfortable when i am leading and inspiring others.
im a natural leader
people look to me for advice.
i am always the one initiating things and don't like losing
when it comes to team work i always find myself being assertive and taking the lead even if there is opposition, i take it in my stride and hold on to what i think is best.

loli really should not respond
this thread is about introverts and extroverts as a nature of personal identity
i am waiting and hoping wegs will make a thread about her job hunting and resume and suchlike.
that would be quite interesting.
we could critique the interviewers.
...(tongue in cheek sarcasm)

and when i feel like people are not paying attention to me enough...
i drop my pants and slap my dick on the table and scream "i have a penis"
its so great being a natural born penis... i mean leader... mean type A personality.
penises .. i mean men... i mean type A personalities are born not made.
you have to just do it and don't be a coward
don't let political correctness get in your way, people don't respect that.
extroverts do it on the outside TO others
introverts get it done to them on the inside BY others

... Sometimes, employers need to take a leap of faith, after conducting a thorough interview process.
...
True to a degree, no pun. There needs to be some semblance of a paper trail though per candidate, to show his/her credentials thereby creating a sense of credibility. But maybe there is too much emphasis on the paper trail and not enough on simply communicating with said candidates. What do you think?No leap of faith(except in themselves) is required.
