In addition to that, the founders are signaling their own long-term lack of confidence by selling their shares when no one else is allowed to do so. Employees are correct to pressure their employers to IPO or GTFO, especially considering th

Is there a word for cloud billing anxiety yet? I had an AWS account I wasn't using, but I didn't want to get surprised by any bills, so I set an alert to let me know when the bill was more than $0. Sometime later the alert went of

The ire is pointed in the right direction, but the issue isn't not rooted in ethics, it's rooted in measurability. Management decisions were made as if things that could not be measured could be disregarded. Surely someone must h

Face-to-face business meetings really should be obsolete by now. It's difficult to imagine a more inefficient business process, especially for sales, where the outcome might be simply nothing. Nevertheless, the salespeople who show up

As far as I can tell it isn't characterized as a benefit in the article itself. I suspect that sub-headline was written by an editor, not the authors of the article, and does it a bit of a disservice.

I did. It's a call for women and non-binary people to participate in a survey , not get a job. They're trying to assess the people that are under-represented in their hiring, not hire them preferentially.
