I’m just thoroughly exhausted. I have so much I want to do, yet I’m selling half of my waking hours every weekday to someone else, for the sake of cleaning up their legacy messes. By the end of the day I’m already worn out, and now I have

I'm in Canada, so I currently call myself a software developer, but I expect to be awarded my professional engineering license soon (P. Eng.), after which I can legally call myself a software engineer. The title signals that I have a c

Who said it was every day? Change 9am to 3pm, if that helps you.

The article talks more about meetings than showing up for work. Flex-time doesn't mean you can show up at 9:30 for a 9am meeting.

Being late every once in a while is not something I'll hold a grudge for - we all are late at one point or another for various valid reasons. It's those that are chronically late, to the point that the only thing you can count o

I guess it varies by culture. What would be considered late enough to be rude in Spain?

Can you speak about where you started with your rates, why you started at that level, and how you progressed them to where you are today? I'd also be interested to know the length of a typical client engagement.

Regardless of whether they would have legal ground to stand on, it doesn't sound like the OP has the time or money to get into litigation with FB. If they were to send a cease and desist letter, not many people would dig their heels in

I think you're perhaps focusing on the PyCon case while I'm speaking only of the FHRITP case. If your "idiocy fueled by alcohol" is volunteering offensive answers to a reporter, on television, you've entered the cou

by kohanz 11y ago
Yes, the Pycon and FHRITP scenarios are on completely different planets as far as I'm concerned. I guess I'm focusing more on the latter because of recency bias and because it's in my backyard, geographically.

by kohanz 11y ago
That's not really a comparable scenario. Being overheard in a private conversation is not what's being discussed in the FHRITP case. What if you said a similar type comment, but on camera to a television reporter who decided to as

Agreed, but we're splitting hairs, IMHO. Being an idiot in public == being an idiot. If it's not in public, the situation changes completely. If you're making an off-color joke to a tight-knit group of friends, you're no

When is someone "representing the company", though? That's what a lot of this boils down to. Is it only when they are officially operating for the company? In this age of public LinkedIn profiles, etc., it's far too easy

The majority of the cases cited in the article are not possibly intelligent thoughts being misinterpreted, they're mostly just bad attempts to be funny that end up being offensive and dumb. I don't think Justine Sacco would apprec

It might simply come down to terminology, but things like "last resort" and, honestly "plan", bring to mind those terrible corporate HR programs that poor performers are put on that take forever to culminate. It's a

Sometimes it's just not correctable. Bad hires happen. Not everyone can do well in a given position. The idea of dragging things out until firing is a "last resort" makes it sound like it's a long process and that is a b

1. After some probation period, fire only as a last resort or for really terrible behaviour. Have a plan to correct behavior in all other cases. This is a great way to earn loyalty from the person not being fired and at the same time alie
