"the fact that this guy's employer made a kneejerk reaction is no one's fault but the employer." Exactly. Let's direct our questions first at the employer. What she did wasn't exactly the coolest thing in the world, but she wasn't the one

" Google products they never paid for" I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment (bitching about free services feels like entitlement), but Google presents an interesting challenge here because the free services die without even trying or o

I wonder if "Investing in You" should be included somewhere before "Investing in Your Team" -- in some sense, that separates the "friends and family" from the "incubators"

Why do people continually upvote trash from forbes.com? If you want a concrete example of a woman that blows away men in the criteria that the author chose, consider Margaret Thatcher ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Thatcher )

Your tale is nothing short of ridiculous. What's even crazier, though, is the fact that you aren't alone. Many people find themselves in similar traps due to unscrupulous relatives. (hopefully that makes you feel slightly better) "The exp
