I've been the Director. HR mostly sets salary bands. The recruiter, candidate (via negotiating), and hiring manager can only really move around within those bands. Those bands are largely based on market research.

I once started as a senior engineer at a company most folks here would have heard of and was told on arrival that every engineer first has to work a short period in support. The idea was to learn the product and customers. In theory this so

Coincidentally enough, today is actually the anniversary of the deposition of the last Roman Emperor in the west, Romulus Augustus. That happened on September 4th 476.

Google is in such a strange state. I deal with Googlers several times a week, and their defining characteristic is hubris. It seems like their arrogance blinds them to the fact that their credibility has been in a free-fall for years. Publi

Not to be rude, but jumping into comment sections about your competitor's S1 and replying to comments praising them looks pretty bad.

> 90% of the features at 10% of the cost How'd you swing that? We are fairly large Sumologic users, and it's more like 80% of the features at 80% of the cost.

The American regulatory landscape is a death-by-a-thousand cuts that ends up serving to entrench established businesses. Most of them seem reasonable when looked at in isolation, but they add up to an insurmountable burden for most would-be

It seems like Kabbage specifically targets loans to online businesses, which are booming right now. Even still, it seems the decline predates the pandemic.

by seneca 6y ago
Is this because of a looming threat of regulation? These businesses strike me as essentially online payday loans (extremely high rates, short term).

Yep, dead on. Slack isn't the cause, it's a symptom. I worked at a company that adopted HipChat, and then Slack, very early. There was never any of this kind of drama. People were largely professional, aside from some goofing off

I'll throw another hat in the "MUDs got me into tech" ring. I spent significant time on Swords of Chaos, a sort of proto-MUD, then on various God Wars incarnations. They were the first time that I realized, and truly apprecia

Yeah, MUDs were very much the spiritual precursors to the modern MMORPG. Both have the same extremely addictive property.

Can't say I particularly agree with you. Things like an "[inclusive] approach to history and politics", and everything that implies, are a large part of why we pulled our kids out of public schools. I fully respect other adul

So you understand people's unstated motivations and get to ban them from speaking based on that?

I have no love for most of our media and find it deeply corrupt, but that is an opinion piece and is clearly labeled as such. Not saying your wider point is wrong by any means though.

This is Jacobin Magazine, an openly socialist publication. You shouldn't take their position as an indication of anything with regard to typical media. I don't value much of what Jacobin has to say, but I would be more worried if

It is easy to terminate straight white men under 40. Anyone else is extremely difficult anywhere with an HR department. Protected classes are taken very seriously.

The problem is that there is an undue burden put on those in group 1 to prove they are not group 2. Imagine an engineer walks into an interview. It's a young person, you think nothing of it and you go on with your normal interview. Now
