That's super interesting to hear. Can you provide any links to good articles on the topic? This type is reform is something that I think would improve the banking system. In theory, this keeps CEOs from pleading ignorance as an excuse.

haha, fair point. He is probably going to go into consulting and make some extra money for those green fees.

You make a good point about how hard it is to properly incentivize a large group of people. Stumpf and leadership made a best estimate for what goals and incentives were necessary to reach performance. However, the key is that when employee

I appreciate that Warren didn't let Stumpf talk his way out of taking any responsibility for the actions of his employees and made a clear argument as to why he should be held accountable. Unfortunately, it seems the primary reason he

This post had some great advice. Her fourth point really resonated with me. This is something I've struggled with a lot when asking for help from friends and family. >People are really bad at being helpful. Even when people ask to h

An interesting thought exercise and an explainer on how the U.S. election process works that a lot of Americans (including myself) probably didn't realize. I appreciate that the author caveats most of their statements with how statisti

I really enjoy using Hipmunk too. More recently, I've begun using Google Flights in more of an "explorer" capacity. Enter my starting city and travel dates. Then I use their map to see how much it is to fly to different place

We took a slightly different approach. Have a 3 month emergency fund, then pay every extra dollar towards the student loan. Paid it off in 3.5 years instead of the 20year plan NelNet wanted. Now we are building out a 6-12month emergency fun

That ignores risk and also financial burden. If you owe $2k every month to NelNet or another institution, it's much harder emotionally and financially to quit your job to travel the world or start your own company. We had Federal Loans

Yeah that's a very good point. Interesting how they aren't easily discharged via bankruptcy. I may have to do some research on how exactly that got put in place and who was behind it...

Paying off your debt early also builds really good financial habits which will help in the future. You learn to live below your means, make a budget, etc

It's such a weight off of the shoulders to have paid my wife and my student loans off a few months ago. Instead of the 20 or 30yr plan we put every extra dollar towards it and paid it off in 3.5 years. It feels fantastic! It's biz

I like that they've done this. Are there examples of companies that have done this and users or the media noticed when they removed it?

Too bad. This seemed like a great idea with a big opportunity. I used it a couple of times and I loved it. It was so much easier to get rid of furniture (and make some $$) than using Craigslist or carrying furniture to a local store.

Here's the TL;DR After studying over 180 google teams they didn't find any evidence that the composition of the teams mattered (i.e. friends outside of work, male/female, introverts, extroverts, intelligence). Instead what th

This article has some interesting stats. The last sentence of this excerpt is bizarrely added on. >While some employers worry that older workers aren’t adept in tech tools or platforms, that’s more related to the individual than the age,

If you cookie the users and make sure the experience they saw is persistent that solves most of this problem. But if you run a lot of separate tests than it's hard to avoid this.

I'm not sure on the legality of 12 months, but a cancellation clawback is typical. The role I was in the clawback was within the first 60 days.

Having worked in sales a while back I can attest to how important getting the right sales culture is, and also how incredibly challenging this can be. Companies need to align the reps' goals with that of the company, and too often when
