Maybe OP's use of the word "Coach" instead of "help" is not great here, but I read this as a coworker trying to help an under-appreciated colleague. I do not think promotions or raises are a "one shot" sit

"but at the same time a bit condescending to think that you can assist him by some techniques picked up at an internet forum" I don't think it's condescending to show empathy for, and attempt to learn how to help a colle

If you could, how would you rate the value of self-promotion compared with learning and education in your own industry? Obviously learning is more important, but would you recommend spending, say, 1 hour of promotion or networking per 10 ho

1. You cannot wave your hand and say all countries are guilty of the same atrocities or the same behavior. To this day, China continues to deny that particular atrocity ever happened, and scrubs the internet it controls of any such mention.

Sorry if this sounds rude, but why does it matter if HK was more or less democratic before 1991? The protesters are not asking for a return to British rule. In the same vein, the United States is vastly more democratic than it was a 100 yea

That part stood out to me too, because I have the opposite social groups, and I have never felt excluded for liking those things. It's highly, highly worth making the effort to connect to people with somewhat similar interests, even

When AWS has gone down in the past, it's severely impacted massive tech companies like Netflix and Spotify. Why would there be an expectation that a 2-man shop have "another cloud offering" as a contingency plan when some of
