This is all solid advice but seems to be unrelated to gaining an unfair advantage. I interpret "unfair advantage" to be more about employability and how valuable you are in the field (starting with inside the business you are in)

The CEO class is a mixed group of people, some of which are incredibly smart. But your point is well taken and worth considering. They are "just people" too. On a side note, I can't figure out all the responses to this commen

I'm not familiar with them but things make a lot more sense now. The writing seemed pretty off with lots of odd signals about how to think, how to fall in line, and spell out what our outrage should be. The talking points seemed a litt

Meta's has a corporate value for "Focus on long-term impact" which is trying to counter short-term gains that don't produce over time. They also talk about how you can make a "big impact" as an IC there, which

Are these sales numbers or how much they make after everyone else gets their cut? Is that what they mean by "taxes"? Steam takes 30%. The publisher can easily take 50%, but they may have negotiated better terms due to the funds th

They do. I've seen it. It's been in the works for years. Each time I've worked in the warehouses things have changed. It's not fully automated, but improvements have been made.

Great advice. I have tried this often, while it is really useful, sometimes it isn't enough. What I found more useful a good chunk of the time (on Facebook, Twitter, Reddit..) is to start blocking people. There are some people that are
