May 23, 20187 yr obsolescent adjective much of the business etiquette our parents knew is obsolescent: dying out, on the decline, declining, waning, on the wane, disappearing, past its prime, aging, moribund, on its last legs, old-fashioned, outmoded, downlevel, on the way out; obsolete, outdated, out of date, behind the times. Learn something new er'ey day.
May 23, 20187 yr Seems Martin Baker is going to take it in the chin with the number of watches they’re on the hook for this year...

No bureaucracy cares about any person. People care about people on a personal level. Above that you’re just a number and it’s just business. It’s like this everywhere.

May 24, 20187 yr CSAF cares about people I’m sure. The bureaucracy he manages doesn’t though. I think Guardian would disagree...
