CEO is not a standard manager. They are running a company, which can do many things. The managers should have an expertise in what the company is doing. Too many places just assume the company is doing "marketing" or "sales&q

A colocation space took over one of ours for a data center. It's nice inside, but the outside is still a dump, probably worse then before. It's an eyesore and there is no investment in the community or the area around the data cen

YES! I am friendly at work, but outside professional references, I don't really speak to co-workers from past jobs. There are afew I keep in touch with, but I have enough on my plate and honestly many of them are not the kind of people

Yeah, and it's a bad reason. You can setup a dedicated VPN device with any old computer very easily. It's also way more flexible. I have a client with a linux host that acts as a fileserver and an ingress point for remote work. No

Every "Family" doctor has stopped practicing or gone to a no insurance model that caters to wealthy people. You can only get "internal medicine" doctors for primary care. I've seen waits ranging from 4 months to a y

OK, now show your work where you propose a solution that ends in "fewer people". Where do all those extra people go?

It's a classic spherical cow model. It has no bearing on reality, although this pay structure is becoming more and more common; albeit with less then 50% odds. How many companies have you seen with "contests" to get ideas or

HOA's are designed to short-circuit democracy. It's a firewall to keep towns from bothering upper class people and keep the poors out.

I dropped it, but picked it back up for the Nick programming. Still ads, but only a few, mostly at the beginning. Really irritating, but I hear the ads version is practically unwatchable.

Laser vs inkjet, avg ink cartridge does 220 pages.

As a US Catholic, I find much greater value in family time, volunteering, and jus the regular things I do to help people in my community. Work productivity is not on my list of "virtues".
