To me, it feels like people not getting the promotions they think they deserve is an extremely mundane problem. That’s fine though, since I can see how such a thing might be of legitimate concern for many of us and is worth discussing overall.
What mainly bothers me mostly, is how click-baity this article is. Such a heavy emphasis on drama and controversy, with every attempt to garner as much divisiveness as possible. It’s annoying, and I notice Bloomberg is notorious for almost always putting out these types of highly charged articles.
Do authors get bonuses for releasing fiery volatile articles at Bloomberg or something?
- googlerx 8y ago> To me, it feels like people not getting the promotions they think they deserve is an extremely mundane problem. Google management to this day claims that eligibility for promotion is based solely on whether or not an employee is consistently performing at the next level on a well defined job ladder. If they are, they're promoted. The problem is not the lack of promotions. The problem is that introducing promotion quotas or limits directly conflicts with the merit-ONLY-based promotion system that management claims exists.

Actually, yes: https://www.businessinsider.com/bloomberg-reporters-compensation-2013-12?r=US&IR=T https://www.businessinsider.com/bloomberg-reporters-compensa... It isn't necessarily nefarious, it's a metric for gauging how important a story is and to direct their staff towards reporting on important stuff. But nevertheless, it does happen.
