Just got my email spam bombed, combed through each one looking for something suspicious but didn't find anything.
Changed my passwords, 2FA was on for my accounts that need it, no suspicious activity on my bank, cards, paypal, any of my airline, hotel, or retail accounts.
I feel like I have to be missing something, anybody else have stuff like this happen to them before?

Check if you email is here: https://haveibeenpwned.com/
At it takes is someone to know you have a live email to bomb the snot out of it.

Nope, looks like my email didn't come up with anything on there other than a breach in 2016 that I was already aware of and had handled.
My suspicion is someone may have breached an old account on a shopping website or something and wasn't able to do anything since I never save payment info online. That would be best case scenario at least.

Step 1) do your job well for over a year
Step 2) get promoted and spend a long time in manager training
Step 3) after some bumps really start to hit your stride
Step 4) get taught how to correct time card entries in the system
Step 5) start modifying your own entries to make it look like you’re leaving on time when you’re leaving early
Step 6) I get to fire you

In the early 80s I got to visit Chile. Lotta Chevy Novas parked on the curb. They were branded Rally. Someone had to point out that Nova was a poor model name in a place that spoke Spanish.7,364

It is my understanding that Standard Oil (Esso) rebranded itself to Exxon because the shorter form was an obscenity in parts of their market.7,366
Yeah, GM didn't think that one through for Spanish speaking countries.
Brisbane's original brewery is the Castlemaine brewery in Milton, a suburb of Brisbane. Their standard everyday lager beer is called "XXXX" (four-X). It was named that way because, way back when in the UK, beer barrels were marked with a number of X's: the more X's, the stronger the beer. Four of them basically meant "bloody strong".Someone had to point out that Nova was a poor model name in a place that spoke Spanish.

In the eighties, for quite a few years, Castlemaine ran an ad with a jingle that literally every Queenslander (and probably every Australian) would instantly recognise. That was the signature XXXX tune.
Around then, Fosters (from Melbourne) had made great inroads into the US market, particularly after the success of the Crocodile Dundee movie. Castlemaine decided that they wanted a slice of that pie, too, and was about to launch a big marketing blitz for XXXX beer with that jingle in the US. This is one of many of the ads featuring the jingle:
It was a lucky break for Castlemaine that someone, just in time, cottoned on to the fact that XXXX in the US meant a brand of condom. The words of the jingle combined with those connotations would have been truly disastrous. Sadly, it also means out that a lot of US people missed out on a boatload of jokes and innuendo![]()
I've never been a manager of any level, but what you're describing sounds like a much bigger version of a problem I faced coaching HS volleyball. It was hard to balance training and teaching without creating dependencies that absolutely evaporated in real competition. Self critical reflection is a hard thing to train into people, especially when you need a dozen people to be doing it simultaneously and still function harmoniously with a single goal in mind. It hard to watch people you want to see succeed get into a mess and do nothing knowing you know the solutions.7370
I believe that failure followed by constructive reflection and action is the best teacher. What I don't know is how to apply that training the dozen or so managers I have reporting to me these days. I have a total inability to knowingly let things fail just to serve as a teaching moment (bad services are bad for business after all, also just feels cruel to the team), but it has absolutely created an environment without real consequences, and the subsequent growth, for my team.
I think it's hard to develop problem solving and proactive accountability when you know in the back of your mind that you're just one text / phone call away from someone (me) swooping in to help no matter the time or day. Of course when this happens I give constructive feedback on what should be done differently the next time and have the manager in question lead that discussion, but that doesn't seem to have the same instructive effect as solo-shouldering the extra work, customer complaints, etc. that comes with a true train wreck.
I don't know... just needed to rant.

So uh, maybe try an extended vacation and throw your phone off a boat?

So if you're the boss it is hard - your job is to support your managers when they have a problem.
You have to transition them from "there's a problem, call the boss" to "let the boss know there was this problem I solved"
So you have to tell them that they need to solve the problems. Sure there will be something critical you'll have to get involved in on occasion (and you need to discuss what level they do *have* to call you), but for the most part they need to solve and report what happened to you.
Place on fire? You get called. Customer is pissed? They deal with it.
You need to know the blurry line where you want to be contacted so you can train them on that.
