I wonder if instead of retirement age we could just do the gradual reduction of hours. I know I’m at the 5-6s age, but feel like I’m on the cusp of 4-6s. The thing is, my knowledge is more valuable than my labor anymore.
Just today my company tried to move forward on a 200k decision — everyone on board. I came in at 10am. I took an hour to really think through the problem they were trying to solve and came up with a different course of action. I brought it to my boss, forcing them to think about it in a different way. By about 3pm, it had made its way through the C Suite and the original deal was cancelled. They will still spend 200k, but now it will be on the right solution, and they won’t spend another 300k fixing their mistake. I left at 3pm.
I don’t need to be there 40 hours/week to get my job done.

As the dead internet becomes a problem, he wants to use Chrome itself to detect when it’s being used by a human and scrape all the data they produce. I instantly uninstalled the Perplexity app after seeing that.

Within days of Maxwell’s complaint, Batman – a career criminal convicted of being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm – was moved to a different cube.
Epstein’s madam didn’t fare much better with her replacement, however, as the newcomer quickly kicked off about avid jogger Maxwell failing to take showers and stinking out their cramped living quarters with her sweaty sneakers.
Maxwell would come straight off the running track and not wash. It’s something you often see with sex offenders, they are worried about being attacked in the shower,’ added our source.
Eventually they had a huge argument – this time over a clothes hanger – and it got so heated that the new bunkie threatened to beat Max with a padlock.
Of course, Max complained, and this girl was also removed. Max seems to think she will eventually get a cube all to herself if she keeps stirring up trouble.’
DailyMail.com revealed last month that Maxwell earned her 'prison Karen’moniker because of the 400-plus petty complaints she has lodged while behind bars.
The sex trafficker has slated the lackluster vegan menu options, whined about ‘unfair treatment’, and demanded that jail authorities give her immediate access to black hair dye.
She even bagged plush hypoallergenic bedding after grumbling to staff that the standard-issue prison pillows were triggering her allergies.
Maxwell’s moaning dates back to July 2020 when she was locked up at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York while awaiting federal trial for grooming minors.
Her lawyers accused prison authorities of breaching her rights by shining a flashlight in her cell every 15 minutes, subjecting her to invasive searches and filming her at all hours.
The daughter of disgraced UK newspaper magnate Robert Maxwell was sentenced to two decades behind bars in June last year and the judge in her case recommended she serve her time at FCI Danbury, the Connecticut prison that inspired Orange is the New Black.
But the Bureau of Prisons, which has the final say, instead sent her 1,000 miles south to sun-drenched FCI Tallahassee.
But the prickly prisoner continued to rack up the complaints, taking advantage of her job in the jail law library to file BP-9 ‘administrative remedy’ forms at a rate of more than two a week.
Oxford-educated Maxwell has been at the center of countless controversies and bust-ups while locked up and even managed to use the prison’s video visit system to give a headline-grabbing TV interview.
In January she told UK broadcaster Jeremy Kyle, without presenting any evidence, that the now-notorious photograph of Prince Andrew with Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre was a fake.
DailyMail.com revealed how the chat earned Maxwell 48 hours in the Special Housing Unit – a ‘prison within a prison’ comprising tiny, grim cells where inmates are caged for 23 hours at a time and fed through slits in the door.
In March it was the turn of two Cuban inmates who were both thrown into solitary confinement for 47 days after Maxwell reported them to authorities for trying to extort her.
The two bullies found out their strict vegan neighbor had an ‘arrangement’ with a kitchen worker who would slip her extra fruit, vegetables, and tofu and thought they could use the info against her.
They penned Maxwell a threatening letter demanding $360 worth of items from her commissary allowance but the Briton turned it straight over to prison authorities – breaching the strict mantra against snitching.
Maxwell was living in fear of a beatdown when the pair got out but one of the Cubans has since been transferred to a half-way house in Laredo, Texas and the other was moved to a different housing unit.
Maxwell – federal prisoner 02879-509 – has a release date inset forJuly 2037 when she will be 75. She could gt out earlier if she can successfully appeal her convictions for helping ex-lover Epstein, who hanged himself behind bars in 2019 instead of facing trial.
Federal prosecutors argued this week in a fresh court filing that Maxwell’s conviction for grooming girls as young as 14 should stand and denied claims she was being used as a proxy to satisfy public outrage over Epstein’s crimes.
