As expected, the stupidest imaginable policy. Take all the guardrails completely off, even though the ones that are in place are already toothless. Don't worry, the free market will ensure that everything is turned into paperclips at the maximum possible speed.

I'm the context of hiring, "blacklisting" is collusion between employers sharing a "do not hire" list.
Is that what you the mean?
One would imagine such a practice to be illegal. But yeah this was my question as well.

"Blacklist" in what sense? Is there a master list somewhere of people not to hire?

I've had the experience of having migraines with aphasia- this is essentially a migraine aura that affects the part of the brain that processes language. I can confirm that while this was happening, i was aware of my surroundings and able to have thoughts, but I was unable to speak and unable to understand spoken or written language. It all just looked and sounded like gibberish. I thought about whether I should go to a hospital, what was going on, wondered whether my loved ones were concerned, and so on, but was unable to communicate any of those thoughts to other people. It was a bizarre experience.

I can't really hold my attention on a conversation with an AI for very long because all it does is reflect your own thoughts back to you. Its really a rather boring conversation partner. I'm already pretty good at winning arguments with myself in the shower, thank you very much.

140k is significantly more money than I've ever made in my life.
Where I live, really the line where life becomes a real struggle is about 80k I would say. Below that, you're putting off maintenance, not saving money, the car is accumulating wear that you can't fix, and a medical bill is fatal.
People living way below 80k can only be doing so with significant government assistance.

The drummer in my band was the type of person who become anybody's friend in a few minutes. I watched him and gleaned this advice:
When you meet someone, your goal should be to get a little look into their inner world. Find out what they care about. And second, be genuinely interested but don't judge. It shouldn't be fake, you should really care. Pay attention to what they say.
This works pretty well for getting to know a person.

Ah I remember running a serial cable from my bedroom to the hallway so we could play 1v1 quake via direct connect. Good times! I think we used to play age of empires that way too.

You guaranteed that you wouldn't get recognition by keeping the idea to yourself. Your victimization was by your own design, and it stayed where it started: in your head. And ironically you were the one being passive agressive and showing bias towards your coworkers.
Oh honey. I wasn't born with this attitude you know- it was beaten into me.
Nothing is punished so swiftly and severely as outshining your boss or making him look stupid.
