Hard to imagine a bigger waste of money. They’ll just tell you to put up more banners and store less data and then they’ll charge you for it. Evaluate the risk here. It’s a (presumably) small personal/side project. As a person based in

by paulcole 2y ago
Yes, that is how at-will employment works — or contracted employment where the employer calls the shots. The employees knew this going in whether they admit it to themselves or not. It still doesn’t make the change wrong.

I mean let's get real. If there was data that said the team was going to be X% more productive in office these 500 people would find another reason to hate the decision or say the data was bogus. It's fine to love remote work and

I agree that withdrawing an offer is rare but you have to be OK with some non-zero chance of withdrawal if you’re going to negotiate with only a single offer in hand. You’re making the negotiating mistake of projecting onto counterparties.

I’m 22 and work on a 3-person team so it’s hard for me to imagine why a company would more than 4 or 5 total employees.

I don’t use an ad blocker on any device. Despite claims to the contrary by people here on HN, it’s fine.

Almost everybody here is going to say to not do it but I’ll go the other way. You only live once and you want to do it, so why not? Because there might be some malware that’ll screw things up? Unlikely on a Mac. Because there might be a law

I see a lot of things that the Forest Service does listed but I don’t see the purpose of why they do them. For example, this quote is not a mission, “The U.S. Forest Service is a federal agency that manages 193 million acres of land, an

How you feel while riding isn’t an objective thing. It’s entirely subjective. You and I can sit side by side and feel differently about the same experience. I don’t see how this is in any way objective besides the fact that you want it to b
