yes. precisely.

Ah, ok. Thank you. If you add in the 2.7% for military personel (which doesn't seem to be included here) then you get to about 6-7% of total spending.

Ah, thank you. That's helpful.

this was pulled from the 2024 monthly budget report from the treasury.

1% ??? that can't be true. the DoD's personel budget, by itself is 2.7% of the total budget for the whole federal government.

A number of people have recommended good books. So i'll maybe drop a few pieces of advice that I've learned while managing a diverse group of ~35 people. * Listen to the people who…

I hear this kind of response some times, but I don't agree with it. If you're being tongue in cheek, then I'm missing it, but if you're serious, then this is precisely why many man…

Thanks dang! It can be a difficult job, and you do it well. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

I think you're right, in that open displays of emotion are rarer in men. I'm not sure you're correct in the assertion that men can't appeal to people for help based on being sad. A…

I looked closer, and it seems my memory is either bad or the levels have changed since I last dug into those numbers. In either case, thanks for checking those numbers!

The vast majority of our defense spending is Salaries for US Service Men and Women. And they are under paid in many cases. Just bumping the salary of the bottom ranks would likely …

Turnover is a business issue, and if you want to show it is a problem, then you need to demonstrate the negative affect it is having on business objectives. If you could show that …

Try to build a virtual hallway/watercooler. We use slack for this, and worked very intentionally to encourage people to post what they were working on in their respective channels,…
