Hmm when I was visiting Japan they had a serious problem with work exhaustion related suicides. The workload and pressure to perform at higher and higher levels was too much so they ended it. That was just a few years ago.

So, to hear that there is a new level of control for this already judgemental and “honor” based society is just appalling.

Just has to abandon a Trello account because of this. They state if you lose your device for TFA you have just lost your account. Okay, bank level security for a PM tool...

They have a really poor UX imo. The categories are seemingly arbitrary, and they have niche and seasonal ones that don’t make sense. During the December holidays they didn’t have a holiday themed category until near holiday end.

Further, they make “innovation” like auto play when nobody asked for this, and without any way to stop it (unless you go to desktop and disable it deep in your settings).

When searching you will receive similar results for titles they used to have... well why not state “are you searching for x? It’s no longer available, here are some recommendations” so the user isn’t wasting time wondering if the search feature is just “bad”.

In the world of constant, unannounced, and live experimenting on huge user bases a little messaging goes a long way (with the comparison being nothing)

The better question is has it abated the act of these crimes to a significant level? If a 10 year sentence crime is commonplace then that’s a dark mark on the police and judges. If it’s a crime not often committed how can we correlate the punishment to the practice? The incarceration is a punishment for the one who commits the crime, but is also there to set an example. If the example isn’t made then the loop continues. Crime without (known) repercussions is a crime that will continue. If that is okay in the eyes of lawmakers then this is now about money. This is just top of mind thinking, not stating as fact.

Can anyone explain why there’s a new trend I. Saying a negative, then saying “but” and stating another negative. Like...

“He was a dishonest man. But, he cheated on his wife”

“He had a nut allergy. But, he had a dairy allergy.”

It’s like they’re saying: “he’s a good father. However, he had a dark side.” But they’re really not.

Also, at the beginning they say “it may be unraveling” and begin to show how it never had any legs to stand on. Just confusing communication for an article.

Here’s my experience with that:

April estimates 5 hours of work but spends 12 on it. She justifies her overage by communicating with the PM and letting them know ahead of time the task is worse off than they thought. But to do it right she will need to go over, by roughly 5 more hours. Song the way she is taking notes of what she’s doing and then screenshots and justifications at the end to explain the work.

Bob estimates 5 hours and takes 12. He doesn’t communicate, the work isn’t finished to spec or even partially to spec, he can’t justify his time and argues that roadblocks kept him from finishing.

The latter is the person I regularly deal with and I only know one “April”.
