You can make the case for this as a simplification of social welfare, but btw hey - it's also a cure for the coming AI jobs apocalypse! Giving everyone 10k a year isn't going to help a worker replaced by robots. 10k doesn't

Not to that company. I may be worth 150 in the marketplace, but that company pays everyone 120. The company is finding people at 120 and balks at the 150. The employee probably goes somewhere else and that's it.

Technical debt can be disguised as high performance, which is the responsibility of the manager to root this out. This is where non-technical managers of technical teams fail, they don't have the skills to do it. An average employee w

If there wasn't anything wrong with it (in her mind) - it never would have made it to the founder. What happens when you don't fire the guy? Say later on, for whatever reason, SHE has a bone to pick with the company. Now the FOU

These ROI calculations on degrees are more of a (flawed) basis for encouraging (less often, discouraging) college. They are not useful. It may seem like a good idea to develop an "ROI for college", but it distracts from what&#x2
