In the US I think there are varied state laws on what's legal and illegal in that area. This is obviously complicated by any employee agreement that you might've signed up for when you joined the company. I think the basic decisio

There are a few “accepted” ways of asking this. First, if you are truly the linchpin, you’re likely working over/above your position. So make the case that you are a rank N employee doing N+1 work. Alternatively, try the market adjustm

And if you can't work due to your injury and are one of the many Americans who does not have paid time off, the best case for you is using FMLA to at least retain your job so you can work - but your absence won't be paid. Hopeful

You are worried that an Amazon lawyer is going to contest your evidence in small claims court. You probably don’t need to be concerned: they’re unlikely to show, so you’ll just get summary judgement.

I don’t know if there’s much to broadly learn here. I will say that it reflects very positively for Shopify: I can imagine plenty of companies downplaying the issue or trying to duck the payout by saying “not our code!” In that sense, thi

He really did a rather remarkable job for someone who had all of 10 seconds to realize that he was being interviewed on live television. I suspect a lot of people wouldn’t have managed to stay as cool as he did. I know I wouldn’t.
