TSI issues.....share them here

I have recently been more vocal about the incompetency of TSI employees and been pulled up about it.
I covered their as--s last year and nearly broke myself with the excessive hours.
This year I am telling of their mistakes, lack of O&G experience, taking credit for my work as their own, poor understanding, hiding from tough questions etc

If some the poor performance was done by someone in US or UK....they be sent packing.


I predict that….

In a few years, someone is absolutely going to write a long-form takedown on how Nike fumbled its Caitlin Clark moment. Generational talent. Cultural tidal wave. Wall-to-wall attention. And still fumbled

This has future MBA case study written all over it.


Is the EJ partnership a Cult? You decide…

Seeing all the curated nonsense coming from the partner meeting on Amplify, I asked Gemini to share characteristics of a cult. Here’s what it gave me.

“Cults are typically defined by a charismatic, unaccountable leader, high-control, and exploitative behavior, often utilizing thought reform and isolation to create total dependency. Key markers include unquestioning commitment to the leader, intolerance of criticism, and a, "us-versus-them" mentality. Examples include isolation from family/friends and mandatory, constant financial or time commitments. 

Key Characteristics of a Cult

  • Charismatic, Authoritarian Leader: The group revolves around a leader who is viewed as the ultimate authority, often a messianic figure, who is not accountable to any authorities.
  • Isolation and Control: Members are isolated from the outside world, including friends and family, to foster dependency.
  • Coercive Persuasion/Thought Reform:Techniques like chanting, meditation, or intense work routines are used to suppress doubt and force compliance.
  • Exploitation: Leaders often financially, emotionally, or se-----y exploit members.
  • "Us vs. Them" Mentality: The group creates conflict with wider society, viewing themselves as superior or enlightened.
  • No Tolerance for Questions: Dissent, criticism, or doubt is discouraged or severely punished.
  • Preoccupation with Money/Recruitment: The group constantly seeks new members and funds, demanding significant personal resources.
  • Fear of Leaving: Members often fear reprisals or believe there is no life outside the group.”
