This rings true to me. Most people at those levels enjoy the “perks” of high status endowed by a job. It’s part of their identity.

> they continue to pile on perks and nice to haves and pretend they’re rights. The evolution of worker rights has always followed this path. Introduced as perks, then standardized and encoded legally as rights. While there are outliers t

Seriously. Trying to keep oneself functioning after work vs just taking a nap and getting back to work, refreshed is sooo good.

Sure… but I feel like symbolism like this isn’t without merit.

Living in Kansas City is not a viable option unless you belong to certain demographics. Stop promoting it as such.

There’s only so many good managers/directors with that sort of experience. So either you have to promote from within or lower your standards a bit.

Ads have existed across mediums though, from print, to TV and now on the web. IMO they reflect a fundamental unwillingness of the general public to pay for information.

I don’t think Big Tech needs to overtax its engineers to deliver innovation. They can afford to hire enough folks to keep the innovation engine humming without requiring heroics from ICs. I understand there are some exceptions: sometimes du

This is valid criticism but … Google faces the very difficult problem of operating a really big organization. In such a place, there is bound to be hyper specialization. An L5 engineer doesn’t worry about customers because they don’t intera

Just want to add my 2c that DO tutorials are pretty damn amazing and I've got a number of them bookmarked for several common tasks. Even for such mundane tasks as wiping one's machine of stale docker containers/images. This i

It’s important to understand that the Fed has limited tools at its disposal. Congress does have the power to enact the required structural changes. However, the Fed Chair has not been very vocal about this so it always seems like the Fed is

Im guessing this is too risky/expensive to use for unicorns/late stage startups.

From the article, it seems like they were made to hire BCG and listen to their recommendations. They almost surely had to have an existing system but it’s likely that the investors deemed BCGs advice more reliable.

Drivers can’t be trusted. We absolutely must have dedicated bike infrastructure.

There doesn’t have to be a good reason. Just imply that all cyclists are leftists soy sipping femboys that are wasting your tax money on wasteful bike infrastructure and you’ve got 95% of this group riled up.

This. Times have changed. It’s funny that literally every tech company’s response has been to lay off low level workers who could be re-deployed in different projects but to keep their leadership the same. Now they’re all making the same mi

IMO BigTech had the notion that for the most part you wouldn’t be laid off unless you “underperformed”. The fact that people with long tenures and good perf were still let go definitely has an impact on how these companies will be perceived

Fly over country does not have the same economic output as the big cities. It’s why most people flock to the big cities. Cities are economic powerhouses at the forefront of innovation and culture.

Yes it’s really unfortunate that this happens. Especially for folks with student loans.

It’s probably a lot less than 50k. BigTech has basically stopped hiring with a few exceptions. I suspect that’s for specialized skills/critical projects. Lesser tier companies are still hiring (Robinhood, Flexport, Reddit etc). Startup

It’s not a bubble. My extended social circle has transitioned to fewer alcohol + weed too. Not just for health… weed alters your mood in … well, nicer ways. People find silly things funny and can open up a bit more. Alcohols effects are gre

It seems unlikely. Something as large as this would require a lot of secrecy to be a coordinated effort and not get leaked. Like a sibling comment said, its overwhelmingly more likely that we’re seeing just how bad leadership really is at T

I feel like this is a good argument to not allow mega mergers and consolidations. Github/LinkedIn etc could have both been operating as Public companies and not have to deal with this BS.

I'll say there are ways to embrace it, but celebrating it, just that phrase, I suspect will turn off the suits who might misinterpret it. Anyway, the way I've seen it be embraced: * healthy incident management culture with postmor
