I did some reflection. I agree it's not a great article but I read it and did a self assessment. I don't ever want my marriage to end and people sharing their failures gives me another thing to consider, in hopes that I can avoid

Agreed but the point is made more than once and in plain terms that the glass was not the problem it was an indication of a behavioral issue that went unrecognized until it was too late for self reflection to make a difference. It's no

It seems as though people are focusing on the hook and not the core argument. The author clearly states his marriage failed from "death by a thousand papercuts" and this glass-by-the-sink is an example of not understanding their s

How do you handle the obvious problems of churn and reviews at places like Glassdoor? I can just see it now: "Interview was weak. They don't know what they're doing." "Aced the interview. Fired after two weeks. Lea

I swear some of you have had terrible work experiences. I've been an engineer for the last 20 years. The first time I tried being manager, I sucked and it sucked. (I definitely sucked more because the place sucked but I wasn't gr

Fine. I'm mixing replies. A single month is still unreasonable. That's a bad candidate experience. That changes nothing about the number of people who interview you though, just how quickly.

A week for a single candidate interviewing with a US only company is entirely reasonable. I don't think two is bad either. I would not stay engaged with a company that took a month, the same way I don't stay engaged with a candida

Sure it is. If a company's hiring process for a single candidate takes multiple months, that's bad. The candidate experience is critically important. We have five stages of our interview process, two of them involve speaking with

You've had some bad jobs, haven't you? Want to talk about it? We don't abuse anyone on a visa because we're fully remote and don't do visas. We target the high side of comp in the person's country. We specifi

I used "misalignment" as a kind way to say "because we realized we don't want to work with you." But you're chasing a different thread anyway. We're talking about quick hiring and firing being better than

If it's taking months, then they're doing it badly. Our hiring process is five rounds but it never takes more than a couple weeks, including the negotiation phase. Our data shows that we need something like 14 resumes to get one

I will accept a veto but only if the interviewer can explain it sufficiently. I think it's important to trust but it's also important prevent abuse from bias. (Someone who abuses interview vetoes is likely a poison pill themselves

No, it's all about everyone. If I hire a person and fire them in less than a year, that's almost always because of a performance problem that's impacting the team or the org. If you're the one being fired, you probably l

Don't forget the need to filter for bias. Many many moons ago, when Google's ATS was young, they didn't weight scores based on the interviewer. After some incredibly confusing low scores and some obviously bad hires, it was d

How do I buy you a coffee? I'm going to try this next week. Looks fantastic. If you could libnotify me a little nag (maybe you do and I just haven't looked yet) I'll buy you two!

Except we are. We're talking about all of the "you" here. My point is that we don't have to all cram ourselves together to do make positive change. We can course correct AND be happy.

I'll give on a lot of stuff but not space. We've cut down plastics, we compost, I'm the only one eating meat and then only fish, our scraps go to our pet pigs (anything not salted) and we've only ever had a heat pump. We

This is not condoms vs not condoms. Condom use prevents the spread of STDs. Birth control helps prevent the spread of unwanted children and abortions. I don't find condoms comfortable at all and I'm married, so STDs are not my con

Injections into the penis are probably a non starter for a lot of people. I had a vasectomy, so I don't have anything to worry about now but I'd choose a pill over a shot any day, no matter how frequent. Also, being able to stop t

Ah yes. We can protect ourselves from the least likely scenario. Good... good... Do people really think this is so common that we need to consider it a possibility in almost any case? It keeps being brought up but it's highly unlikel

Not in Texas or the other states following suit. Not sure if you're American or not but women are having the right to choose stripped a lot lately. None of us will have any power soon.

I've been party to at least two abortions. They're shitty and they come with major side effects. I would have taken the male pill as religiously as I take my allergy pills, to avoid that.

by igetspam 5y ago
I would assume that the male pill is targeted more toward people in relationships. Condoms prevent more than just the one side effect of intercourse, where a pill does nothing for STDs. After our first kid, my wife told me to go get clipped

While in India once, I ran into a friend from Google who was out there trying to build a data center. Total coincidence that we were both there at the same time. I was there to hire and train for another company and he was there to break gr

Nah. Most people on the fringe edge of the right can't spell any more. They can sure as hell shout though. Say you will about the far left but they're generally still literate. I'm happy here near the middle. You're all

If we're slinging mud, then one side has a monopoly on hate and the other likes to point out that what they're saying constitutes hate speech. One side insists that they believe in protecting life but advocates for maintaining a s
