Re "trust is broken" - I used to think like this and I understand, but I would encourage you to try a more nuanced POV. There's a decent chance your manager was simply not allowed to accommodate you, and your verbal notice un

This. You manager was expecting negative feedback and left you holding the bag. She should know that you know, and that you were a good sport this time, and that going forward you would really appreciate to be on the same page. Otherwise it

I don't disagree, and yes I am choosing to optimize for early retirement. Another reason that may not be obvious to non-US people is that PTO in many cases is cash money, especially if you can accrue and roll it over. If you used befor

You will. It was so f-ing bad I was laughing hysterically the whole time and I had a blast.

Where I live (DC) most people are not in tech and they still have an upper middle class lifestyle working for the Federal government or a contractor (in a non-tech role). Nationally, purchasing power has been declining for many years. Besid

Completely agree. This guilt culture is little more than an attempt to retain the benefits of the "privilege" vs sharing the spoils with the less fortunate.

As soon as your RSU vests, you can sell it for cash. Most companies offer an auto-sell option that works even during restricted windows. With a good vesting schedule, it's almost identical.

RSUs are almost the same as a regular paycheck, and in my experience the employer has a lot more flexibility to meet your demands when you're negotiating total comp. So yes, the stock could go down, but you're getting more when yo

2 weeks (as in 10 non-holiday days) is pretty normal in the US, even if you get more. I get 4 paid but I barely take two and bank the rest. My European parents think I'm crazy but they're used to a pretty nice safety net when you

I've had shoulder pain for a couple of years now and I'm reading this right after I bought an old 500 on eBay for $100 two hours ago. I love my Niz topre clone but I need a healthier layout, and now I'm pretty stoked.

They are in a separate, power and frequency gated cluster with its own L2. You'd want to keep that cluster in a low power state as much as possible.

Don't forget the silicon shortage. I've seen 6-9 month lead times for corporate laptop/desktop procurement.

No. I'm bringing it back to the premise of the article after your efficiency tangent.

Maybe some are, but that's not the point. How busy with real work product were they before?

The scorn you read here is not against all management, but against the notion of "we can't manage remote employees effectively". Your results above show that it can be done even when you hate it, which most of us assumed was

I used to run home from middle school to play Tie CD. It's my favorite game of all time. This looks amazing.

Ok, how do you suggest we achieve this? It's been over two decades now and the US govt hasn't done much.

If you can stomach it, consider the sales side. You'll be allowed to WFH at pretty much any company and can't be replaced by someone in another city.
