🙋WTH is a Cop Watcher? Answer below...
Remember the 1990s TV hit show, Cops? Bad Boys Bad Boys, whatcha gonna do? Meet the new version of Cops called Cop Watchers or Auditors found on your local YouTube app.

The next time you find yourself getting pulled over in Gilbert, AZ (prominent Cop Watching town), make sure it’s a good hair day because you might have a Cop Watcher show up to the scene.

Coffee Talk ☕
If you have worked in an office, then you have been in some loooong and boring meetings. Well at Shopify, they now calculate how much a meeting will cost. The average cost of a 30 minute meeting with 3 people at Shopify will cost between $700 to $1600.
At the beginning of 2023, Shopify canceled 12,000 calendar series and events and reinstated “no meeting Wednesdays”. This is part of their initiative to reduce unnecessary gatherings.
Since everyone is working and nobody is meeting, can you just email HR and ask for a pay raise? No performance evaluation meeting needed because it costs too much money to have a meeting. I have been working hard this year. I promise.
