   I worked for CollabNet from 2005-2010. When I left, I bought my stock options. I got a friendly letter in the mail a few years later telling me that the company had been restructured, and that my shares are now worthless. If I'm gettin

   The hiring timeline for Doctors is in the months -- almost six months to a year -- because of all of the due diligence that is involved: it is sometimes more so for specialties like OB/GYN. Even to be brought on as a "Doc in a bo

   It really depends on the location, and the items involved. Gun sales are always audited -- by both the local law enforcement, and the ATF/TTB/DHS. Electronics are generally only audited by the local law enforcement, and if there&

    Remember, both Hilton and Marriott do not own any hotels these days. Their entire mission in life is to build a set of brand standards that their hotel franchises use, and then ensure that the owners of those franchises can obtain maximum p

    The biggest issue that I have with google is product sustainability -- if something doesn't seem to have "Hockey stick" levels of growth and use, google kills it. Do I want to spend $500 on yet another google branded brick?
