There are lies, damned lies and CRUX statistics. EVERY manager I've interacted with at Amazon looks at CRUX statistics -- it is the actual reason that they exist. My current manage (5 year badge employee btw) is counting my code. We

Why would a 360° review system be important? Do you think it would stop this? Or do you think it is the reason for this? Stack ranking, illegal in many other countries, is known to produce this (hostile culture) kind of result amongst emplo

Thanks for the list, I still would like to understand why a Grand Jury needs to exist when our countries, presumably, also have the same set of problems but not a Grand Jury. I wonder how other common law systems handle this (not a lawyer,

Google, Amazon, etc. The reward structure for quite a few of these (FAANG) companies is geared towards launching new features and/or products. There is little incentive to improve existing software (as an IC). Which is why, for example
