No I'm not. I do not believe this is the best way to interact with customers. Down vote away if you think I am being sanctimonious.

It's an unnecessary distraction. I'm not a fan of the overly saccharine approach to interacting w/ customer/clients but I don't think it's necessary to swear. I agree with your branding comment. I also think swearing is a cheap ploy to ma

"Shit’s gotten real with 42Floors." How do you start a blog post on your company's site with this sentence? Are you going out of your way to look unprofessional?

I have heard about the high school thing from others from St. Louis (or people who have lived there.) I believe that is unique to St. Louis. In Chicago, we do ask what high school somebody went to, but more often than not it results in a

I've commented about this in the past. A Chicago angel investor friend of mine once made the comment that the local investment community was always looking to talk, but not willing to follow through. There is a conservatism here that allo

Absolutely ridiculous. The media always attempts to assign a reason for the daily fluctuations of a stock or market movement. Some random employee leaving a firm most likely will not have a severe impact on a stock price. Furthermore, if

It (lawsuits against municipalities) has yet to reform how law enforcement works in the U.S. I doubt it will work to reform the patent system. That being said, maybe there is a "tipping point" where tax payers & pols alike say "enough

The difference w/ terrorism is that it intentionally targets civilians. It is always odious. The ends do not justify the means. Note: there is a lot of grey in the world, but intentionally targeting the innocent is black & white.

Please stop comparing overworking or non-optimal work conditions as slave labor. Slavery means you can not, either because of the law or threat of violence, leave the service of your master. I've had bad jobs in my day. One I left (I was

Apple would have to issue a preferred stock for that. The structure you suggest would not go over well with the investing public because of the dilution that would be involved. Also, this scheme is much more convoluted than a straight up
