I agree, it quickly becomes exorbitant. I used to manage a product used to record data points in fields - millions of datapoints a day and this cost us just too much money in my opinion compared to what we really learned from Amplitude. Adv

As someone who needs to be 1x a month in Paris for a week I can confirm that I was hugely impressed. On red lights you sometimes see so many bikes (congestion) that you can’t even see where it ends. On streets like near the louvre/pala

I hate to admit that that’s who I am. I made a pretty OK career as Product Manager / Head of Product. And I can tell that beeing nice is super important here as I deal daily with anything from customer, CEO, difficult stakeholders, sal

The typical answer in regulated industries is that you need to certify/verify these devices for their intended use. So I highly doubt that this was done by Microsoft but who knows. Where I am coming from - medical device industry - you

Thanks and any advice on not landing on such a list. I was part of giving my advice for the list last December, but now new cuts will come and I could be on it. How to be that favorite person? Is beeing more or less expensive really a crite

Why was there no word about sharepoint? The true reason is that sharepoint - I mean the sites not the storage (ok the links that can‘t be changed) - is really bad. I don’t know a single person that likes sharepoint sites. We use notion for

If managers didn’t know, how was the decision taken? I am a manager (not indeed but other company just doing layoffs) here and I received a first estimate of my boss and I adjust when I will let go whom (based on business needs).

We have a similar issue here in Switzerland (a river that ends in the ocean in northern Germany) were salmon disappeared 50years ago. Too many gates, hydroelectric plants etc. Apparently they saw the first salmon coming back after 50 years:

I agree all big MedTechs do this and I wonder what other (better way exist)? Typically these giants have more cash and heavy process instead of small nimble engineers who can freely use their potential. PS: I work directly with two ex-ventu

Married and two kids. And I very often don’t find time. One learning I had over the years is: A) See where and when you actually spend time or loose time. Just listing YT, Netflix and co is too easiy. Beeing busy surfing, pondering about c

Maybe I miss the point, but why wouldn’t the ones that easily find a job (or maybe even have a next job at hand) take the payout for extra money while the ones that desperately don’t do any work or are not performing would stay? Wouldn’t th

I recommend Namibia too, and especially the skeleton coast for a different experience than the most visited parts (dunes, safari parks). Driving on the skeleton coast lead to the experience to drive for 5-6 hours without meeting any other c

I am worried about trust going down massively. And after this it is just a slippery slope to fights, wars and other ugly stuff. Take for example: Phonescammers, or antiphising emails or worse someone pretending to be your partner or your ki

I don’t see the difference (and frankly the need for) scorecard and OKR. I am one of these managers the majority of the comments here complain about. I lead teams and tried to implement twice OKR. Overall the idea I think is good as it make

And how did you actually do it? Any good advice/books on this. I know my management has clear ideas what they want so even if I am told - it’s my job to figure it out they say what needs to happen (not accepting a No).

Had a good laugh - thanks for the creativity. Sometimes I used to get career advice on reddit and that’s exactly the type you find there. Now I am more cautious.

Mine are still quiet small and we bought a couple of colored hour glass where you can choose between 5,15 and 30min. I ask them to be mindful and put it away. Of course I come in after a while to check but quiet often they are fair and put

Very interesting. Left AgTech last year but had similar experiences, even worse where often the single most prominent use-case was to follow some painful necessary documentation of ag inputs (chemical, seeds, fertiliser) to get subsidies. R

For me it would be: Once a month or twice a month we have dedicated inperson time (no teams/zoom). If you need to travel we pay accommodations and travel. For me: I like to be in the office max 2 days a week but commute is the deal br

Why buy new with 8gb? The goal is either to have a decent laptop for very little money: you can get used thinkpads for as little as 200USD with i7 ssd and 8 GB ram. Or you have a bit more money, buy new and go for around 1000usd with 16gb.
