As someone who decides such purchases at a large “traditional” company there is a lot of truth to this. And yes, having a subscription (or one-off price) that flies below the radar does absolutely help. To further encourage this: please, pl

Parents pay for their kids often well into their 20s. Many of them also help with caring for their grandchildren. Seems just fair to ask for something in return in case of need? There is a similar concept in Germany where you do have to pay

They absolutely _also_ prefer long-term stability and target a healthy mix of Spot and long-term contracts. It is clear that this extreme high will be followed by a low and then they will be happy to have signed stable volume commitments So

I guess, as unfortunate as this is, this comes as no surprise. Related, I witnessed a lot of very smart people struggle with the basics of conducting a video conference (sharing documents, inviting, …) It is absolutely avoidable and hence a

This dismisses the successes eg Fridays for Future had. Making high-CO2 lifestyle choices (frequent international flights, SUVs, fast fashion, ...) socially less acceptable and “uncool” is absolutely part of the solution

The way I read this is that he simply encourages you to talk and share your thought process while solving the problem. If you are stuck, you will have to take hints anyway, but until then taking aloud helps the interviewer and might as well

My European take on this: while upper class salaries might be 2-3x above middle-class salaries they don’t afford you a lifestyle that would be unrecognizable to a middle-class family. Maybe a nicer neighborhood, maybe more long-distance tra

No, I’m arguing that by enforcing the use of sustainable options (i.e., “you are not allowed to fly if you can’t afford carbon offsets”) and by letting people pay for it, we will make the poor poorer and the rich richer. We would basically

That seems a dangerous argument to make. Where do we stop? What other luxuries will we only allow to those who can afford the sustainable version of it? Warm water? Having a fulfilling job that unfortunately requires commuting? Edit: to be

I think this goes two ways. Yes, management is failing to manage creative work. But in too many companies (and I’m not talking about startups full of youngsters straight out of college) staff has also lost the ability to be creative, take o
