OTD in 1944 the Red Air Force carpet bombed Narva, then Red Army used artillery to finish the job. As a deliberate act, hundreds of civilians died & thousands were made refugees. We then repopulated it with Russians.
Imagine something like this happening in the 21st century.

Marco Rubio cancelled a meeting with the EU's Kaja Kallas just as her flight was landing in Washington.
King Charles should do the same thing to Donald Trump. "Something came up, I'm sure you understand."

Ah, a nice example of "The Folly of Rewarding A While Hoping for B," a classic article by Steve Kerr
Some companies are rewarding in-person attendance (and punishing absence) while HOPING for performance
Perhaps kissing-up to the boss is more effective in-person!

Office attendance is becoming a performance metric
Return to work mandates can weed out underperforming staff but risk pushing away valued workers

Nothing about Wirecard surprises me any more. Of course the COO was running a spy ring, why wouldn’t he.
The whole saga was one of my favourite case studies in the corporate fraud class I took with Jim Chanos! More exciting than many thrillers.

I keep putting off writing something on our 'jargon monoxide" chapter in "The Friction Project" with Huggy Rao. One "flavor" is the "jargon mish-mash syndrome:" when a term means so many things to so many people, that it means nothing. Take "agile." One consultant defined 40 kinds in 40 minutes!
