Hi,

I have noticed that some men use the following strategies to work less, and hope that a generous soul (usually a competent woman) picks up the stack. I propose to share here these strategies and start using it ourselves.

- they never say no, they say yes to everything and then just not do anything.

- when challenged about the status :

++ they say that this or that project took too much of their time, and how busy they were.

++ they say that they need to align with X or Y and will get back to us. Excuse they can use many times in a row until people forget about the task.

- they often offer to schedule a meeting to discuss topics, where other people will contribute in doing their work.

- they will loudly say we should do this and that, while never proposing an actual plan and doing some work themselves

- new! they generate Claude AI blurp that they don't even read and send it to the others for review, so a human can do the work they were too lazy to do.

- they reply "great point" without answering the actual question.

Curious to hear about the strategies you see out there!

Hi,

I have arthritis and psoriasis, as my blood test is negative I didn't receive a diagnosis yet, my reumathologist just sent me home (looking for another one right now).

I am having a severe inflammation flare these past 2 weeks, I have never had something this bad in the past, all my body is inflamed and severe knee and feet pain.

I took triphala to try to see if it helps, I took it a couple of years ago and it helped me clear my psoriasis and sinusitis. I quickly felt the inflammation lowering in my body, so I am now taking 3 tabs 3 times a day and it seems to be working (slowly though). I already noticed that gut inflammation is linked to psoriasis flare and join pain in my case in the past.

Out of curiosity, I checked what could be the component in triphala that had an effect on my inflammation, and it seems that Triphala's active compounds — mainly gallic acid and chebulagic acid — are doing what ibuprofen (COX-2 inhibition) and Humira (TNF-α blocking) do pharmaceutically, but more gently and simultaneously.

I am desperate to get some relief while waiting for a proper diagnosis, so I researched what supplements could help lower TNF-a, and I found these ones below with AI Did someone here try them and got some positive effects?

Thanks!

- Boswellia extract (65% boswellic acids) — 300-500mg twice daily. Best clinical evidence, 30% TNF-α reduction in trials. Stacks perfectly with triphala without redundancy.

- Curcumin with piperine — 500-1000mg curcumin + 5-10mg piperine twice daily. Hits NF-κB from a different angle than triphala. Useless without piperine or liposomal form — check the label before buying.

-Terminalia chebula extract (one of the components of triphala) — if you want to boost the TNF-α inhibiting component of triphala specifically without increasing the full formula dose

Hi everyone,

I had a cortisone shot in one of my joints 10 days ago, and I afterwards had the biggest full body inflammation flare I had in my life. It is the first time I get this kind of shot and was told the joint might hurt more for a couple of days, but not about the side effect of having this full body flare.

Did someone else get this kind of side effect? How long did it last for you? Did you refuse cortisone shots after that? I am just starting to feel better after 10 days but still feel worse than ever.

Thank you.

Hi everyone

I am working on defining a GenAI acceptable use policy and data classification framework a small organization, and I find it challenging to manage what users can enter in GenAI 3rd party tools. Some data categories are obvious: trade secrets, etc. Some on the edge: source code (when should the devs not use 3rd party tools?), and asking questions that do not contain sensitive information separately but if put together, can give a good idea about the strategy of the organization.

They want to use the Enterprise version of course, but IP is regulated information and cannot be processed by GenAI tools for instance.

Curious to have your feedback.

Hi,

Over the course of my career, I’ve seen both ends of the spectrum when it comes to security organizations. My current org is probably the most “compliance theater” driven environment I’ve experienced: the security team has lots of shiny tools, and they want more, but weak risk management and immature processes underneath.

What makes it especially difficult is that the culture seems to come from the top, so changing things feels nearly impossible without leadership sponsorship.

I’d be interested to hear from others who’ve worked in organizations that didn’t take GRC very seriously. What did you end up doing? At this point, I sometimes feel the best approach is just to document the risks properly and stop fighting battles you can’t win.

I keep seeing colleagues submit Claude generated docs directly as deliverables. No edits, no review. Sometimes brackets still in. Sometimes the document contradicts itself. You can tell nobody read it after hitting generate.

I get using AI. I do it too, and a lot. I am just uncomfortable when people bring up "I generated with Claude" in meetings, send me a Claude generated report when I ask them to give feedback on something, or even worse, send some Claude generated docs as final deliverables without even making it look a bit less "Claude".

Seen it in legal, HR, project management, consulting. Everywhere really. The person looks productive but the thinking just... didn't happen.

I do believe that Claude is awesome, I use it all the time, but I just can't stand these AI blurbs everywhere, especially when these are docs I need to review. Why should I spend time giving feedback when the owner of the doc didn't even do the effort to read what Claude wrote?

Do you also see this in your org and how do you deal with it?

For those who have been through ISO 27001/SOC2/PCI DSS and other audits:

What are the most significant human / leadership failures you’ve seen that led to major findings or near audit failure?

Not technical gaps, but things like:

- control owners not actually performing controls

- managers bypassing or not enforcing processes

- low-quality or unreliable evidence being submitted

- lack of accountability or follow-through

How did auditors pick it up, and how was it written up?

Also, have you ever seen some people getting fired after a failed audit, and how did it happen?

Thanks.

Looking for people who've been through this.

I'm in a GRC role dealing with an IT manager who consistently works on escalation mode, generates policies straight from GenAI without a single edit, ignores tasks ownership, and provides low quality evidence for the audits if he doesn't go quiet. Leadership is aware, this has been going on for a couple of years. Nothing happens.

The downstream impact lands on GRC every time - audit gaps, unowned risks, and findings that could have been avoided with basic process compliance.

What I actually want to know:

- How did you protect your own audit trail when someone else was generating the risk?

- At what point did you stop fighting it and just document and move on?

Thanks for your input.
