I know very few people who would tolerate not being able to get a refund. I know many who would end up giving up fighting for it, but would never use the service again. And, lets bring it up to something more relevant. The driver steals fro

I think it's more that the absolute "need" has not been demonstrated.

No, I didn't. I'm just pointing out that the specific hours mentioned in the article are not the focus, but the idea that you should concentrate during your peak hours, whatever they are.

For 99.9999999999999% of things, waiting for a response is not going to kill anyone. The sun will still come up tomorrow, the business will still be around, and things will continue as normal.

I think they meant more valid than the others. But if most people on the team are night person schedules, it should be on the morning person to adapt more.

I don't see why. Part of the article is that you get down to what you need to do as soon as possible during the working hours. So you have your 1-6 (or whatever stretch of time you choose), you get down to it as soon as you can. No You

I think the point is less about which actual hours, but more about focusing on those hours that you are productive, making those count as much as you can, and not forcing yourself to work more during those unproductive hours "just beca

I'm 1000% in favor of spending fewer hours at work, and making those hours that are spent at work count more. However, I'm guessing that the 1-6 was for the bosses, and not for the workers.

The entirety of your posts on this topic have come down to, "Either bend over and take it, or leave the company, in which case you get fucked out of your hard earned compensation as well." "But don't talk about how silic

Stories like this are extremely common nowadays. Startups are going to have to come up with some other way to attract talented workers, as most people know that equity is a joke, the hours are extremely long, and the pay is crap.

That is not at all what that says. Someone who owns their house is not a landlord. A landlord is someone who rents out a property to someone else.

It absolutely is mine. It's my data, and my credit. I do not care at all that they're a "for-profit company." I don't believe they should be able to profit on my data without allowing me to see it, and make correcti

It should be free. There is absolutely zero reason why I should have to pay to see my credit report at any time, or decide that I wish to freeze my credit at any time.

Yes, the city would be to blame. But so would Amazon. Amazon is run by people who know right from wrong, and are fully capable of taking responsibility for their actions. Amazon absolutely shares some blame with all of those. You cannot con

You absolutely should get time and a half for work over 40 hours. The problem is that there are many places where that extra work is done without extra pay, most notably software.

Except none of that helps someone who doesn't have one of those Amazon jobs, and sees their rent soar anyway.

"but most people will benefit (every single landlord, lots of businesses that will sell stuff, and all the people that would move and get a job there)" That's far, far from "most people". Landlords, for instance, wo

Arguably they're trying to divert tax monies to be spent on themselves instead of the other problems the city faces, so it is on Amazon. And they're blamed because they are largely a cause of exacerbating those problems. It's

Actually, most of the "transplants" that go to Montana or Idaho are those who are going because they believe the state is "too liberal" or that there's "too much crime".

The tech to do what Facebook does (more or less) is easy. The issue is with the network. It's why most of the "Facebook competitors" died. What good is having the ability to receive feeds like that if no one I'm interest
