Is it really a good use of an agile employer's time to come up with linear compensation schemas for the workers? I would be perfectly fine allowing the employee to use the bathroom given it costs me a couple percentage points less...

I watch college soccer. There are talented players, talented coaches, shit players and everything in between. There are people who go on to become pretty known and there are people who die out in college soccer. I've never seen a sing

Before the pandemic I was in talks with a company and I requested three days of remote work per week. They wouldn't budge from their 0 remote work policy. Pandemic hits. Boom, posters all over LinkedIN with their remote friendly cultur

Why would a college team need to preselect players if it's all about the management? Couldn't they just pick random players? Thinking about this more, I find it hilarious to imagine that you would expect the same results from A
