Since March of last year our weekly meeting of about twenty-five has been conducted through MS Teams. Most are engineers, and quite a few have PhDs. I have all but given up given up on trying to red-pill any of them, though I have been forceful enough in the past that they all know where I stand.
Usually I skip the first five minutes of shooting the breeze, because I can't take the sheer stupidity of what gets unquestioningly bandy about. But today I slipped and was only one minute late. A guy who is retiring at the end of the month was relating how he and his wife got jabbed in February, but (surprise) his wife got CV and has been sick for a week. They're still sharing a bed, but no sex. He is getting tested in a few days, and hoping his anti-bodies pull him through.
The ignorance was already pretty thick, but then he said at least her symptoms are less severe than the unvaxxed. And that 98% of those hospitalized with CV are unvaxxed.
This opened the floodgates of speaking in tongues: so-and-sos father died of CV, somebody's father in law died, was going to go home to India but the bodies are stacking up, Indonesia is the new hot spot, on and on. Not a glimmer of awareness of reality, like say, of VAERS, or that new CV cases and deaths have a strong correlation to vaccination adoption.
So depressing. Makes me not give a shit about anything having to do with work, or our software products. Early retirement is looking better and better.
Lol. They are just SDS sheets now a days.
Now I guess I would be considered an OG engineer then? Still MSDS to me haha
Lol, no one likes change. We just can’t leave acronyms alone.
Yes I swear in a lot of changing acronyms and names of organizations is so new management can have something to point to that they did.

HAH. If I could say where I work, you would be assured I know that very well. I have to strongly agree with you.
Sort of like a poor man's reorganization.
