Not the case in Ohio at least. They don't have to pay any PTO. Often, good employers will pay a portion as a good will gesture if you follow their notice procedures. (Prior employer paid half.)

My understanding is that at-will states usually override anything in a contract stating to the contrary, unless there is an agreed-upon employment duration (that overrides at-will on both sides, i.e., they can't fire you without compen

If you have preferred shares, you often have a "2X liquidation preference"[1] or other multiple. This means that you are guaranteed to get at least two times your initial investment in a liquidation event, even if the value o

They don't do this as a matter of course, but they do look at the question that was asked various factors surrounding the interview. They certainly can and do throw out interviews that don't generate any signal.

I got the same response from an old friend who has worked for Google for the better part of a decade. FWIW my understanding is that the Hiring Committee tends to discard feedback from interviewers like your latter type here.

The biggest red flag I saw when I was working with Azure is that I noticed that a lot of their CLI commands ("az do-a-thing") actually have the pattern of "retry until it works"... and the first few tries often actually

Personally I prefer story points per card, and then calculating the average velocity of the team per sprint vs. the number of story points left in the backlog. This presumes a deadline more than a sprint away, though, since it's a lit

Hi, I'm not an immigration attorney but I am a Canadian citizen who moved to the US to marry my wife. I would suggest looking into the K-1 visa if you are sure that you want to go this route. Don't get married in the meantime;

The thing with Chrome extensions is, many, many extensions already require the ability to interact with every page you visit, which is essentially Chrome extension root. If your extension already requires this, you don't need to add

This is great! Congratulations. I recently lost a little less than 50 pounds doing Whole30 (for 30 days, followed by a lighter version with occasional exceptions). I liked it because I didn't really need to count calories. Yes, it t

The original Rising Sun book by Michael Crichton is a good read if you didn't know about it. Haven't seen the movie.

The hardest part of Whole30[1] is avoiding food and drinks with added sugar or sweeteners, but I strongly suspect it's also the most effective part for a variety of health benefits, including losing weight. I found that after a month,

That big a percentage in two stocks would freak me out a bit. My money is in indexes, roughly 90% stocks, 10% bonds. Boring, but it's worked well so far and it's more of a long-term thing.

While this is true, newer Chrome versions have a feature where if you fullscreen a video in a tab, it will (within a few seconds, if the video is in a directly supported format) attempt to send the video directly to the Chromecast instead o

> Many companies' CSRs are under strict instructions to hang up if they ever get so much as a hint that the conversation may be recorded. This was our policy when I was doing tech support and I enforced it a small handful of times

by Spoom 8y ago
I'm guessing companies will eventually change the message to say that they're recording, and place their call center in a two party state, so you have to request their permission to record on your end (which they will decline).
