You don't have time to sit around without anyone noticing in retail unless there's not a business case, in which case there's no customers. That business has (at least) two problems.

If there's work to be done, it's immediately noticeable when you aren't doing it, to anyone who understands the job. No one else is qualified to manage people doing it.

Considering how much language has been morphing - often along political lines - to mean different things to different people, it would be great to have a single source that people could go to. Of course what we find though is that if someone of affiliation A points someone of affiliation B to a dictionary website, the person of affiliation B will tell them their source is wrong and brush them off. Finding one source that all people can trust is a challenge.

It's been a while so I can't really direct you. When licensing became very uncertain I backed away and haven't done one in a while.

"The C-Suite that you rail against is entirely profit motivated."

You're not wrong, you're just thinking small. That is, not like a member of that clan of jackals.

They are worried about THEIR personal profits, they don't give two fucks about any given corporation. And if you do, you're stupid, because corporations don't have hearts or souls and are literally not capable of caring about you.

As long as they come out looking competent, they will be able to get a job at the next corporation, and secure THEIR profits.
