If offered 4 days a week (8 hours/4 days) it sounds like a lot of people would join a new company. I would jump in a heartbeat. Why aren't smaller startups already using this tactic to lure away "talent"?

Thanks for the breakdown. I appreciate the chance to see your perspective. When you attach those numbers to it, taking that 6 week unpaid leave makes sense financially. Your comment makes me consider a 6 week sabbatical sometime in the futu

Those 6 weeks where you're studying full-time unpaid seems like a lot of time to me. That's 250 hours that you can't spend on what is actually important in your life (maybe friends, family, relationships).

I'd love to hear some contrasting viewpoints on these posts. It seems like they have a reasonable stance at first glance.

If they're giving away money effectively because they're guilty that seems fine. While they could give away more if they sold that loft, the important thing is that they are giving away most of the trust. There needs to be a story

That does sound nice. Ideally though the company wouldn't chose to enforce the non compete because the new employee hadn't picked up any secrets worth sharing in a month. Actually, this might incentivise a new employee to hunt for

> We need this to protect our business. > It’s never enforced. If these are true, why would a company with 232.9 billion in revenue be afraid of paying an employee's salary only when the non compete is enforced? If the non compet

I agree, the way everyone else ignores him is unreal. I didn't believe this could occur in modern society either. There doesn't seem to be an easy fix. The judge is at least partly conditioned by the environment they were raised i

I agree, if we're getting paid differently based on zip code but producing the same business value we're getting arbitrage'd. The question is; how do we as developers make money off this market inefficiency? We have a few opt

I also experienced a room filled with silence that was only haltingly broken by a few sharply pressed keys. However when I enthusiastically asked more questions and acted like I was having fun the interviewer opened up quite a bit more. The

This advice works great if a person is in a majority. The problem happens when a person is in a minority. Imagine if in America in the 1910's a person has a reasonable dissenting opinion like, "I think all citizens should have equ

Would you mind elaborating on what you had in mind? It's a good idea. There should be an easy way for a small team to capture the value that their open source project creates. There are a variety of crowdfunding platforms like Patreon
