- YeahThisIsMe 1y agoThis is the result of advice being rejected too many times (and later turning out to have been correct).

- WesolyKubeczek 1y agoIn the days of the rampant layoff culture, where your competence, experience, or output quality no longer matters because someone sorted an Excel spreadsheet in a particular way and had you at the bottom 10% — it should be a miracle when companies are getting this much. No more extra miles, not a single one.
