It’s not that simple. EPS (earnings per share) is a key metric tracked by investors, and buybacks are a guaranteed way to increase that, vs the riskiness of r&d spending

It's more like the kid giving you 2 options: - Unspiked lemonade for $.25 - Spiked lemonade for free Companies are free to sell what they want, for the amount they want. At least there's more than one option here.

Have you considered consulting? Where you have more control and leverage over your earnings? (Especially if you have a spouse whose health insurance you can use) Or perhaps PMing (which in many scenarios can lead to better pay, and less pro

There’s a difference between the position itself being useless and someone being underutilized. Businesses often staff up to be able to react quickly if needs change, although most of the time some staff might be given just busywork, leadin

I feel like AWS’s MO is to eschew things like usability and consistency in favor of getting features out as quickly as possible. Perhaps it doesn’t have to be an either/or, but as an observer from outside the org, it’s hard to know

I can easily see how this happened - Product deems that requiring a login for that page is too high a barrier and bad for business. Engineering thinks that “it ain’t so bad” since said links have a difficult to guess uuid; but of course for

Interesting article, and a lot of it really rings true to me, though personally I experience this through a different slant. I've been working remotely for this company for a while now, and compared to my previous job (which was on-sit
