Cutting 10% of the staff isn't the same as cutting 10% of all wages. I would also think you run the risk of losing some of your best performers

In general sure. In specific they are terrible. En masse they are even worse. Not only did someone lose their job, there are now an additional 199,999 other people competing for the jobs that are still out there.

A bad CEO can kill a company. A good CEO can help make a company huge. Saying they contribute 0% to the bottom line is just wrong.

I'm not saying you are wrong, but the United States happened to Standard Oil. And IBM is still a contender. To 50 company and one of the largest employers in the world.

You could link to a government site that Clarks it is required. https://www.eeoc.gov/data/eeo-data-collections But you as an individual are not required to give that information to your employer

Length does come into play. Copyright is about creativity. If there is no creativity there is no copyright. A code snippet that is too short probably doesn't have enough creativity for it to be copyrightable. If you wrote some code and

I recently flew on United from Chicago to Amsterdam. I didn't show my boarding pass to get on the plane, instead they used facial recognition. My question is, how do they know it is me? If they are using my government issued id, how is

3 years is silly. The books that most movies have been made in are older that 3 years. Even books have a life long than that. 25 years is more reasonable. I'm basing that on the fact (at least at one time) almost all books on Amazon we

Cancel culture is not boycotting. At least not what most people consider boycotting. Boycotting usually there's to not giving money to a company to try to get the company to change their ways (yes you could argue it is a way to try and
