I have been in a position where all I needed to do was show up everyday and get paid regardless of whether I did anything or not, I found it demoralizing and eventually quit. The surprising thing was the number of other employees doing the

It isn't just speed, it's also reliability. I could live with deliveries turning up anytime the same week so long as the actually do turn up. The final straw for me was an email ping to say my package had just been delivered throu

I tried this once and was amazed when my landlord texted me the same week wondering why my car had not moved for 2 full days? A subsequent game of hide and seek ensued until I just called it a day and moved out. His precious office has rema

If you arrive on time you're already late. I think a lot of problems arise from people trying to optimise their journey time so they can leave at the last minute. Any small inconvenience then leads to road rage.

Musk wanted shareholders to honour a deal agreed already. All car companies, including Toyota, are currently 'struggling'. If aliens landed today they would surmise that cars were the dominant species, closely followed by dogs. As

There is always a possibility of a problem, even if you do everything right. If you are redirecting multiple urls to one page, for example, you may believe you are helping visitors reach the most relevant/helpful result but it could al

In the UK we have multiple insurers competing fiercely on price, to the point where many lose money year on year. People still say it's a scam though because their experience when making a claim doesn't play out like they expected

This also demonstrates how a legacy reputation, built over a period of decades, can be also thrown away in a period of weeks. VW quality deteriorated incrementally over the years but it was the emissions cheating scandal that became the wak

Lots of people travel to places that may also distort their world view though? My 2 week visit to Disneyworld taught me as much about life in the US as did my daily fix of BBC news coverage. In other words, it is distorted. I lived in Spain

Advertising worked OK when everyone understood what it was and how it was necessary to pay for free, or almost free, stuff. I can remember when our local paper used to sell out everywhere on a Thursday afternoon because that was the day whe

I think you're right about local because small business owners have an incentive to optimise for Google local results in a way they don't for DDG or any other search engine. Generally though, I find DDG good enough for everyday us
