If they really cared about keeping those people, they wouldn't have offered an incentive for them to leave. For example, they could have structured the incentive such that it only applied to employees below a certain level. They didn&#

I'm purely utilitarian (I don't derive any sense of community from my workplace), but I still strongly prefer working from the office. For a number of reasons: * Access to company cafes means I eat healthier, spend less time cooki

Oh no, now he'll just have to make twice the salary in private industry. We really stuck it to him.

Augusta National was purpose-built to host a major golf championship. However, when the USGA rejected the course as a candidate for the US Open due to the summer heat in Georgia, they decided to make their own major instead. They were succe

Yup, compensation ratio is a false narrative. My CEO makes 100x more than me (roughly $30M). But he is not 100x better at being a CEO than I would be; he may only be 2x better than me. The reason why he is paid 100x is because his decisions

I would look at the eight hours in bed as a possible explanation. While they weren't technically asleep, they likely still saw resting benefits just from laying down for a prolonged period of time.

Shouldn't be ruled out? The idea that some scientist accidentally infected themself with this virus while trying to study it is far more believable than a person contracting it because they ate raw bat from a wet market. It can't

You've identified the biggest cause, but there are other factors as well. For example, refreshers are always granted at the end of the year and are only granted to employees that have been with the company a set amount of time. What th

I don't think the general public is anywhere close to understanding the full value of being able to control discourse on large platforms like this. We will likely continue to see a trend towards tighter control of speech as political a

Why is this news? Google has dozens of people resign every day. Many of them for polar opposite reasons. If one person resigns because Youtube is censoring too much and another person resigns because Youtube isn't censoring enough, you

This is like saying Taylor Swift's grocery store deserves a cut of her royalties because she wouldn't be able to sing if she starved to death. Song-writers get paid poorly because there is more supply of pop songs than demand for

That's not an equivalent analogy. It's the exact opposite in fact. The equivalent analogies would be: Why don't screenwriters just film their own movies? Why don't composers just form their own orchestras? Why don't

If you do that, then performers will just exert their power in other ways (by reducing royalties for song-writers). Fundamentally, this is happening because the quality of the song-writing isn't really all that important to the success

Probably true in the US. But this is a global platform making decisions about foreign leaders. I highly doubt this same legal reasoning applies to every jurisdiction in which they do business. Regardless, the more interesting question here

A lot of this is starting to remind me of the way Galileo and Darwin were treated for announcing their breakthroughs. I know nothing about this drug Maduro is touting, but I can't help worrying that one of these days somebody is going

The new UX on the site is unusable. I don't use anything except old.reddit.com and if they ever try to get rid of that, I'll surely stop visiting the site altogether. You have to wonder how long they'll continue to maintain t
