And what evidence do you have of that?

I ended up just using a pillow speaker with a 3.5mm jack cable. Avoids problems like this I was having with bluetooth.

For example, we thought that plain cloth masks were somewhat effective at stopping transmission, but now we know that they are not

What links do you have supporting this?/Can you give more details? There is evidence regarding Omicron but as far as I'm aware that is it. Afaik masks were effective.

That has a pretty uniform distribution..

As soon as one person tries that then it'll just mean managers are exceedingly careful with their words, and there will be zero difference in the resulting action that comes out of perf reviews. The threat of suing won't mean you get a better pay review, it won't improve your promotion prospects, it won't stop people getting pipped or fired if needed.

So that means direct reports/ICs can be held liable if they write harsh 360 reviews of their managers? or when they talk to other people about their manager in critical ways?

You seem to hate managers, whatever experience(s) that you had must have been pretty bad, I don't think what you are proposing is an answer or makes much sense or would have any impact. I truly hope you, in time, reach a healthier place.

yeap and we should sue individual employees for lying about estimates and delivery dates and making false promises. We should sue when the technical design isn't right and not delivered on time. If you say to a company you can deliver on a date and cause them to lose money you are personally liable for damages. /s

'Taking a holiday became like a 12 step program - email boss in advance, put in HR system request, cross check your PagerDuty schedule, negotiate a trade with another teammate for PagerDuty rotation, decline meetings, update your outlook calendar out-of-office, set your slack status & notifications, and re-remind everyone the week before you go. It's almost like they wanted it to be easier to just not take time off?'

Most of this has nothing to do with pager duty, but instead is around the companies process.

Is this conjecture or fact?

Because it's done server side so that the minimal size can be sent to the client whilst also aiming to get maximum quality. It means you don't always have to send the largest highest image to every user, you can just send the most efficient/appropriate image. i.e. If you wanted a thumbnail of a massive image and it was done client side then you'd have to send that massive image even if it wasn't needed.

Business can :-

- ...sure they focus university reach out programs/recruitment teams on less wealthy universities.

- ...start 'apprenticeship' type programs to specifically target groups less represented in their current recruiting pipeline.

- ...ensure their current hiring practices don't have biases that might contribute more to this.

Companies have a responsibility to make sure harassment doesn't take place.

'Failing to provide a work environment free of racial harassment is a form of discrimination' see https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/guidance/section-15-race-and-color...

Similar to unsafe work places, such as if an accident occurs at work then the business can be held responsible for not caring about safety.

You are mixing two things up into one conversation. You are adding time into the conversation, in which case yes you need timezones, but if you don't add time into the conversation and just have dates, then you don't have timezones.

fully agree

Some people think racism is bad, and that doing bad things should have some kind of repercussions and that companies have responsibilities around what happens in the workplace. Shocking I know.

But if you have a date, and a timezone...how do you do anything useful with those 2 things? If you add 8 hours to a date due to PST, what do you get?

this seems to just link to the 'about page'

Having a presence doesn't mean you can infer they are worried about not having a presence.

It's a fairly well known and documented story, do you have anything similar in evidence rather than just conjecture?

Shouldn't you wait to give credit until it actually happens? Elon has proved many times that what he says and what ends up happening is very different.

What you refer to is different from the conversation about missing weapons that have not been recovered.

are we just making things up now?

Same for this site https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/

You asked for bluntness so....here's some terse writing for impact, not nuance.

You buck the hell up and stop sounding like some teenager who has just entered the workforce, you stop spending time making up fake narratives in your head about what people might think about you ('lowly coder'), you stop painting individual humans with one big brush based on their job titles, you stop doing the same thing each time and wondering why you get the same results regarding credit and communicating your ideas/value, you understand that it's a job and in most cases there will always be someone telling you want to do, you accept that large companies with more money involves tradeoffs and you either accept them or you don't, you stop looking for 'glory' at work.

In the case of the depositors, they put their own money into an account and want to be able to spend that money to pay their employees. It might easily cost the government even more in lost tax revenue if the thousands of companies cannot make payroll due to a banking failure, thus forcing them out of business and their employees out of their jobs.

But the money over $250K doesn't exist anymore if the bank is gone. It doesn't matter what they would use it for. This was a risk calculation, people put more that $250K into the bank assuming nothing would ever happen, it did, and now people want all their money back regardless of the risk they should have been aware of. But the contract/rules depositors signed up for the money is gone. Now those companies want money that doesn't exist anymore. They were playing roulette with very very low odds, but odds none-the-less.

The tax revenue aspect is nonsensical when compared to student loans as you could quite easily say getting rid of student loans would allow people to have more money to purchase more things for the government to get tax revenue on.

I'm sorry, maybe I misunderstand, but they are asking for this 'Small business depositors at Silicon Valley Bank should be made whole', any good business should be aware of the max insured amount, so it sounds like they are asking for more than is specified by law (that they should have known about), and therefore asking the government to give them money that they knew was at risk. Currently given the regulations they would get back up to $250k, yet they are asking for more, from the government. So...they are asking the government for free money to help run their businesses....why is that different from students asking the government for free money to pay off their student debts?

Sorry, what? Have you seen that happen before? I don't see how that's even on the table.

multiple companies have done this.

'I feel like what they did, albeit legal (?), is immoral and unjust and there has to be some sort of tangible response.'

So what was the right decision? Hire them knowing they'll possibly be made redundant soon? Hire them even though it might impact the company financially and therefore might have knock-on effects on other peoples employment?

Now don't get me wrong, it sucks and shouldn't happen, headcount and budget planning should be better, but sometimes it doesn't work out that way. There should be a retro on how it happened.
