I don't know if one needs to be diplomatic all the time - simply being polite (genuinely polite, not fake polite) would go a long way.

I guess this is a model that can be applied to a lot of products/services - even for things like Job Search, apartment search etc, as long as the data is reliable and is in machine readable format. I forget the name of the site - few y

Yeah, that is why I asked. I am surprised you are able to sell male voice over, without experience. Kudos!

that site is neat. Would've never guessed there are so many options for a flashlight, of all things. I'm curious how these sites manage to keep the pricing up-to-date.

Have you done voice over before? Also, is it okay to ask if you are a guy or a gal? I find fiverr super interesting for coming up with creative ideas. Stumbled on this one randomly, which made me smile (even though I have no use for it) -

I don't know if it still works today, but Forbes says there are some people who make very serious money on fiverr, but they are mostly creative work though (voice over, writing etc). Not sure if it will work for software dev. Also the

Companies need to make clear to their employees (and the public) that sharing passwords is a terminable policy violation So which is a better option? Losing a job (or) refused entry/detention/harassment after 24+ hours on the p

Solid advice. I'd add one more - if you ever get a good client (freelancing, even when you are full time) keep them happy. A client who doesn't come up with billion changes, pays on time, doesn't micro manage etc is really wo

but putting effort into being a manipulator is bad advice. And yet, I've seen many manipulators/jerks in high/very high positions in places I've worked (and nice people too). I've also seen people who've hit

cargo pilots flying for Amazon still have it much better than warehouse workers. That maybe so, but it isn't right to say "suck it up, there are others who have it worse". Both groups are treated badly and both groups deser

In the (very) short run, yes what you say makes sense. How does it make sense in the long run? "Business" can't exist without "the people", right? If I don't have money to buy shit then I can't be a good c
