Your emotional response to my logical statement doesn't necessitate a downvote.... Edit: it should be inspiring, bc it shows that literally anyone middle class or above can be incredibly wealthy if principles are followed for 3-4 gene

Whats wrong with inherited wealth? Literally anyone can pass on wealth to their heirs. It takes no brains, and no special access. Just spending less. People shouldn't be taxed more because they have more foresight or impulse control th

"organizations with employees feeling compelled to unionize should be hiring better managers." This is a fantastic observation - and I believe it holds true. I've been in some very demanding technology roles, long hours, with

Mostly libertarian here, but not aware of the full views of the party, so I looked it up. Apparently the 2016 election view states on unions as below which I don't see contradictory to unions. [did this for my own knowledge] "We s

Two questions: Why are tech company staff wanting to unionize? For the most part, aren't tech staff reasonably to well paid - with good working conditions and moderate hour expectations (say 40-50)? Management has the right at a workpl

Agree here. Most of the money made on a mortgage with the lowest risk are the origination fees (say ~$10k in US) and then the individual mortgages are sold off to sit in tranches where they are risked by credit level and p

My longtime buddy owns two combination cafe/coffee shops/bakery (2 units total). He called me yesterday looking for an ecommerce strategy job (which he did previously) since the incredibly low wages, and long hours were enough.

Couldn't he just get a subscriber list that pay for the software and releases? I get that it's free, and great, but ongoing support takes his time. Put up a paypal link, or your preferred method, and get 300-500 people to sign up

I see your point, but it isn't as bad as it may seem. Specifically I deal with B2B companies whose sales audience and customer base are solely the US (due to operational "boots on the ground" type of work)

Outsource some of the work you do while you work and commute. Say, outsource 3-4 hours a day, pick up 1-2 hours as you can. Then your project moves 4-6 hrs a day. I do this, using my income for someone else to build by muse.

For complex positions, go to local meetups. Just talk to people about what they do, and what they're doing. Just tell them you're "in technology" to be vague at first, and avoid any spin on their part. Ask every contact

An acceptable variant that I've seen implemented well is "the pass". Where a competent leader, decides to "pass" (one or many rotations) because of hiring rates or current team excellence. Just my experience.

So I think it depends on the organization. I have tended to work in more aggressive, competitive fields. Different versions of "rank and yank" (as you call it) or "up or out" or other types. BigCorps need to do it to kee

I disagree with this. Every organization, and every department has a bell curve of talent. Average and low-average people hire sub-par and poor talent because everyone thinks they're rockstars, but statistically that cannot be true.

A lot of companies do this - without it being known. I see nothing wrong with the practice. Some companies I know of rotate each quarter to cut the bottom people or % that just don't make it. (eg: Q1 might be operations, Q2 finance, Q3

I believe you can intuit someones strengths, weaknesses, and personality by the hobbies they pursue. Endurance sports are often long, rather repetitive, and can be intentionally made painful - they attract types who feel they need to accomp
