Many years back, I was working on a web application that, among other things, could generate PDF user reports. These reports were generated from HTML web pages using a third-party library. Normally this worked well (as well as such a tool c

Really surprised nobody has mentioned How to Win Friends & Influence People by Dale Carnegie yet. IMO, required reading for understanding and communicating with people.

I interpreted that comment as a question of how can we know that someone is working too much (and therefore should be concerned) if we don't know how much they're actually working.

It's not an exact science, but there are plenty of artifacts one would tend to leave around when working extra hours - late night emails, chat messages at odd hours, code commits or comments, whatever. Don't let it become a patter

Nobody at Tumblr was gonna turn to me and be like, “Dude, you’re working too many hours, chill, take time, sleep.” No one ever turned to me and said that, ever. That's just sad. I wish more people did say this - everyone loses when a

I have seen a couple of candidates include short reasons for why they have a couple of short stints ("mass layoffs after acquisition", "group disbanded") - this really served well to allay any concerns I may have had.

I wouldn't worry about it.

As others have pointed out, everything depends on context. Did you have several under-1-year stints prior to the current job? That might indicate a trend. One-offs generally will be asked about, but not counted against you.

Seconded. One Night Ultimate Werewolf has been a workplace favorite for well over a year. Recently introduced it to my friends, who are into Mafia (though those games inevitably end up with people upset at each other) and it was a hit. Some

Agree with you up until the very last sentence. It does not make business sense to break the law (and gender discrimination is a real thing a company can get sued over). No matter how tempting, you can't magically wish the problem aw

Interesting data, BUT... "Next couple of new employees are going to be women up until we balance our team." - this is gender discrimination and it is illegal. How about actually making the workplace attractive to woman applicants?

This is by design and it's a good thing. If every salesperson is allowed to drop high priority "but my client is asking for this NOW" work items on engineering, you'll end up in a tug-of-war of competing priorities from

If vote brigading is the main way for products to make front page (per the original article), then this type of behavior follows logically. Chances are 90% of those commenters did not actually try the product itself.

I did upvote, don't think the downvotes are deserved. Sent my ticket number via the contact form on the website from your profile. I see that you spearheaded the SOPA membership surge - it's what got me to join in the first place.
