Yes. All this doom and gloom is confusing to me. If a job is as easy to outsource as so many on here are saying, it is already being done or has been done. It's been done in my industry. The low level grunt work and basic administratio

See, for some reason people will go to lengths to somehow absolve corporations of their responsibility in this country. It's really sad. Sure, there may be issues that can't be planned for, and you can't hire for every case a

They should've done a number of things before resorting to forcing people off. They should've increased the value far more before this occurred. And on top of all that, there is no transparency at all on how they kick people off.

You need to be strict about it. It's amazing how many "emergencies" aren't emergencies. If I have plans I have plans. If there are loads of "emergencies" then that is the result of poor planning and management.

I definitely think it's more socially acceptable. It's just another annoying gender stereotype. But to me the problem is companies working employees too long. Salary before meant putting in your 9-5 and leaving early on Fridays. N

Isn't it more likely that younger, fresh out of school employees have less leverage and it's easier to get more hours for less pay out of them? Isn't the most obvious reason cost?

Don't have to go through that hassle with Amazon. They really nailed it: a big roadblock to people shopping online was returns. It's easier to return something to amazon than it is to a local department store now. A few clicks, pr

To me it's just pointless. Have all of the settings in the settings app now so I don't have to go to two places to change them. The problem with settings was that it didn't include everything I wanted/needed to change. A

Windows 8 was worse than Windows 10 which is worse than 7. I should have specified-to me Windows 8 and 10 are both poor, both much worse than 7. To be honest, I had an EASIER time with Windows 8 (company provided laptop) than Windows 10. Wi

Agreed. I can't believe how much worse Windows 10 is than 7. And all the good features of 10 could easily be integrated with the 7 UI. It's very frustrating that there isn't another player in this space. I don't mind foo

I'm a huge fan of Windows 7. The UI is simple, everyone is familiar with it, it's relatively stable, but most importantly, basic tasks are so much easier to deal with. In my opinion, it is the best Windows OS made. Unfortunately W
