So now you're moving the goalposts.

So don't go to those sites/platforms. And this isn't a case of "things the administration doesn't like", this is a case of breaking the clear rules and harassing other users.

"Conservatives are ok with freedom of speech" No, they're not. They're the ones saying that people shouldn't be allowed to protest many things like Chik-Fil-A's support of gay marriage bans, protesting police d

Saying he did nothing wrong is ignoring the entirety of the situation. At the very least, you have to agree that falsifying tweets from another user was against the ToS, and thus earned him his ban.

Agreed, but businesses that would be doing that aren't thinking about turnover anyway.

Yes. They work hard during that time, instead of faffing about. Working hard doesn't have to mean you spend all your time at work. In fact, if you're not the owner of the company, that's a terrible thing to do.

Because then we don't get to enjoy the benefits of that productivity. We are exponentially more productive than we were back 50 years ago. Yet, we still have to work 40+ hours a week. We could be working 20-30 hours a week, and still b

No to overtime being paid in time off. Many times, they'll gladly let you do that, only to not let you ever use it, assuming they actually remember that they promised it to you.

Which most of that is. The vast majority of developers are on salary, which means that 4 AM emergency fix and crunch time are effectively free.

"The post doesn't say "don't micromanage"" That is exactly what it says. "it says that if you provide your 2 cents when shown something and ASKED SPECIFICALLY "What do you think?" (!) that if you

But once again, this isn't about constructive feedback. This is about nitpicky, subjective things. The article does not say to hold back constructive feedback. It says to stop nitpicking your employees to death.

The article didn't miss that at all. The article wasn't about meaningful feedback. It was about petty, subjective feedback that doesn't really serve to make anything better, but to make the manager feel as if they did somethi

But this article isn't about giving constructive criticism and advice. It's about those 2c opinions which are not constructive, but rather just subjective.

But that skill only exists because managers do stuff like this. If they didn't, then that skill wouldn't be needed.

Because there's absolutely no reason for them to be "bad". There is no reason whatsoever that we have to allow sweatshops to exist.

That says that jobs are good. It says nothing about the sweatshops.

"accept unemployment as a result of technical progress" Ok. Are you going to be the one that has to give up their job forever?

Except that's explicitly not allowed.

I'm not convinced that bucket 1 is bad for the ecosystem.

Except while I'm getting that education, I still have bills to pay. I still have a mortgage, and I still have a family to feed.

Training for those jobs takes time and resources. Not everyone who has lost their existing job will be able to invest those things at possibly getting another one. Also, if you send a bunch of people into those fields, the cost of labor wil

For #2, if by "business friendly", you mean anti-employee. Despite all this hoopla about California being "business unfriendly", it still leads in startups and innovation. Mainly because a lot of the talent wants to be i

How much does doing that pay? How much does being a finance guy on Wall Street pay (or at least have the allure of paying)? How much does being part of a trendy startup in SV pay (or at least have the allure of paying)? Doing the job you wa
