I get that employees have the right to organize, but this guy was recently out of prison, living in a shelter, and his last job was a transitional job cleaning up trash by the freeway. You have to understand that when you organize, you&#x27

I've seen blatantly discriminatory hiring practices favoring women at tech companies I've worked at with names you'd recognize. I was expecting some of this to surface when Trump was in office and get investigated, but it nev

I'm in a bizarre place financially. I'm single, in the Bay Area, and work for a FAANG. I have enough saved for 40+% down for a lot of decent things, so I'm limited by my salary, not my down payment. It's extra weird be

What if you tell them that in order to protect others' data, you need a separate laptop. As long as the client is happy to shell out 1500 euros, they you'll install all the spyware they want on it.
