That’s not a political system at all. It’s a process that could be implemented in many styles of government. It is not incompatible with representative democracy either. It is a bad idea though. It means that a government has a hard time changing course, even when it needs to. Because it silences people from questioning decisions.

One problem in the US is that the purpose of the House of Representatives has been completely subverted. It was supposed to scale up with the population so the representatives really would be part of the community they represent. But we stopped increasing the number of representatives and that lets the ruling elite control them better. The representatives no longer come from their community and the wealthy have less candidates they have to prop up. And the lower count means that gerrymandering is far more effective.

What’s better?

It’s still the best way even if it’s bad. Ranked choice voting would make it better.

Either they are putting you on a PIP because they’re an awful company who wants to save on unemployment when you fail to return to office, or you really aren’t performing. If it’s the former, then just do whatever they ask other than RTO and make a case for yourself if they try to get out of severance and unemployment.

If it’s because you really aren’t performing, then now is the time to start reading programming books and/or working on personal projects. You need to improve your tech skills and that will take effort outside of work.

I thought it was randomly adding Send and Sync traits to function signatures until rustc is happy.
