In Japan for instance, you simply cannot fire someone without notice in these situations. You also have to prove that you've tried a whole lot of measures to avoid layoffs, such as reducing exec compensation, asking for voluntary resig

Do you really think that? Also, if so, do you really think that reducing force means reducing force were it's appropriate (triming true fat)? All the companies are doing is to take the opportunity to save cost because everyone does, an

What qualifies you to make that determination of 10% being dead weight? But let's say the assessment is correct, the problem is that layoffs are often a bit random. The company won't actually be able to identify these 10% you ment

I was curious to learn how you came to your stance and it seems to be entirely fueled by these fake reports and complaints. I mean, I'm pretty sure they are giving some people unintentionally a bad time once in a while but I don't

I do wonder if this then actually also delegitimizes the post back then or if it's just someone building a fake case on top of some existing case.

It's a bit weird how OP talks about owning a UK business but uses US-centric terminology like EIN and talks about USD. The weird "PERL" rant sounds fishy. And Stripe does offer phone support, you just have to request it and t

That is indeed weird. Maybe someone asked ChatGPT to write a Stripe rant here to troll HN.

But does anybody actually answer? In my experience a large number of companies with numbers just put you in a waiting queue that never ends. Might as well have some system to request a call, which is exactly what Stripe does.

How about they use 1st and 2nd as a compromise?

Unfortunately, my impression is that there are more bad examples than good ones. I have some notion of what I'd want my managers (or I if I became one) not do, but I don't know what is necessary to be a good manager.

Plenty of hispanics in Japan. If you tried in earnest to go live in Japan and it didn't happen it's not because of racism. Yes there are some xenophobic tendencies, but they don't play into it. Money and "skills"

What's the actual "idea" here? I mean, the answer is obviously yes, depending on what you consider integrators.

That's just not how it works for many teams. You said: "Not because I’m ambitious, but because things needed doing and I was the only one available to take care of them." But this person doesn't always exist. Or that per

It means proto-Lisp. https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/ur- Now, to your original question. No idea which of the early Lisps qualify exactly as such, or until when.

I know many many people who went the extra mile for their company (doing more work than expected). Is it healthy? No. Is it needed? Not always/necessarily. But a company that's laying off members to save costs should likely try to

That sounds like a great employer. I only have anecdotal data but from recent discussions with friends who got laid off, they all lost trust in their company's leadership and losing arbitrary team mates has made them unhappy and reduce

Yeah, let's ignore the extra day but why isn't anybody doing that today instead of the 10-15% layoffs? I guess the fear seems to be that it will lead to uncontrolled attrition of good people. But I would assume hiring freezes in t
