David Graeber wrote a piece about bullying. It was called "The Bully’s Pulpit." It is a good read if you are looking for something to read today. This is an extract from that piece. And here is the link to the full piece: davidgraeber.org/articles/the...
No one would deny, of course, that humans are flawed creatures. Just about every human language has some analogue of the English “humane” or expressions like “to treat someone like a human being,” implying that simply recognizing another creature as a fellow human entails a responsibility to treat them with a certain minimum of kindness, consideration, and respect. It is obvious, however, that nowhere do humans consistently live up to that responsibility. And when we fail, we shrug and say we’re “only human.” To be human, then, is both to have ideals and to fail to live up to them.

This 33-year-old nurse told the FBI she knew she was “going to set him free” after border patrol agents brought in a man whose face was bloodied and seriously injured. She treated him and helped him escape, and she faces charges now. He got away, and they never relocated him.

Reading this excerpt about working at Lovable and the celebration of people becoming Super ICs instead of managers, what’s left unspoken is that you don’t need as many managers if you stop hiring junior people and have senior people do the grunt work. No managers because no one needs managing.

This is a pretty funny story David Graeber explained from his book, the Democracy Project. We have all gone through 'late fees' and felt we did something wrong. Just be aware that if this happens to you again that the companies know exactly what they are doing.
I remember I once allowed a Macy’s clerk to talk me into
acquiring a Macy’s charge card, in order to buy sunglasses. 

I sent in a check to pay the charge before leaving the country
for an extended trip, but apparently miscalculated by some 
$2.75 when figuring the tax; when I returned a few months
later, I discovered I had something like $500 in late fees.

We’re not in the habit of calculating such numbers because 
they are, even more than debts, seen as the wages of sin: 
you only pay them because you did something wrong. In fact, 
the entire system is now geared toward ensuring we make 
such mistakes, since the entire system of corporate profits 
depends on them.
