You must live in a place that already had good taxi services. There's no comparison in the level of service between Uber and every taxi service I ever took outside of those in Japan / Korea. The popularity of Uber given the horr

Seems like the scandals at Google affect the bottom line far more than at other companies (Amazon, Coinbase, etc.). The inability to form and push consensus points to a leadership problem in my book.

I applaud your ability to recognize topics you don't like but it's worthwhile to ask yourself if you are avoiding those topics because they are not worth your time or because they make you uncomfortable. Without exploring that dis

I don't disagree. My point is many people think if they'd done this or that they'd be happier. I completely disagree with this premise.

Glad you are in a good place now. Try not to be so hard on yourself.

My cursory view of your personality is that you would feel the same misery if you had spent all your time with your kids and none of your time chasing your dream to build a company. Many people find peace with meditation, therapy, exposure

There are many risks to offshoring as well. The accidental and irreversible 500 million dollar wire from Citibank for example.

And so begins the race to the bottom. It's just a few days in the office now but in time workers will be given complete control over where they work.

Recruiters are getting more desperate and from what I've seen offers are rising significantly. And yet it's still not enough.

Let's be real. The loser here is middle managers. Not all of them. Just the ones who feed off of the high they get from having control over the office environment.

I think your question and these recommendations are an attempt to treat the symptom not the cause. If you have trouble communicating with other people I think part of it is that you are out of touch with yourself. In an attempt to shield yo

You can see from the other comments that people like prescriptive actions that anybody can take. It's a lot harder to accept that you might have some behavioral or mental issues that you need to dig into which would then make all of th

Similar to people with ptsd, your amygdala may be overactive. You can try different methods of reducing your general level of stress.

I agree. There are two sides here. Managers with mental health issues (ego / lack of empathy) will make their subordinates miserable. This point also makes me wonder if habitual burnouts are poor at evaluating potential managers during

Yes, I know many companies are abusive and chaotic. Hopefully those workers are able to seek employment elsewhere even in other countries where workers have more respect if necessary.

This holds a lot of truth. Look at your friends who are miserable in their jobs. Even when they move to a new job they remain miserable. At some point it becomes clear that some people are just always miserable. Burnout is a natural result

Even small European communities have adult day programs for people with Alzheimer's etc. The idea of old folks homes is foreign in places where people aren't wealthy to begin with. Interesting how a market appears to extract wealt

Amazing the lengths the mind will go to to convince itself that it's not a stress or emotional problem that is the underlying condition. This person even convinced themselves that things improved because of FND rather than the improvem

I think it's great that you speak up. Your ideas may be incongruous with the current conversation or too black and white when there is a lot of grey beneath the surface. Work on reducing your general level of stress and people will lik

When I canceled it was necessary to do so through a chat with a support person. I asked them if they could waive the fee and they said ok.

It's an interesting question. Is a traumatic experience created in your mind different from one that occurred in the natural world. On the surface perhaps but on a neurological level I don't know.

Perhaps I'm naive but I think few people pretend to have that kind of pain. They do indeed have it. It might not arise from a truly traumatic experience but when somebody is under stress they do often react badly to people seen as thre

People with ptsd will find many comments or behaviors aggressive. All the training in the world won't take away that persons pain. Sadly, the people with ptsd will still have it even if a hundred people are punished after interacting w

The scientific method is well known in tech. You're kidding yourself if you think these companies don't randomly hire people who perform poorly on interviews and then compare them to people who perform well. You need a broad sampl

The sad thing is a platform does nothing to help us find common ground and move past the chaos which has overtaken discourse. What is the solution here?

How about we attempt to understand why people are thinking this way. Why are they not interested in thinking your way? What can be done to help both side talk and solve problems together?
