I agree. I like to avoid being an early adopter for anything business or work related because it is so much easier to use things when there is an already established user community who has found and fixed/worked around most the major b

He probably got fed that idea day in and day out while there. I have worked for a few different large organizations and have often faced the size excuse for being unorganized and ineffective. I personally feel it is a cop out, and self fulf

Its more about what was communicated/interpreted than the actual words. Take for instance: "I'm not going to let some bitch tell me what to do" vs. "Hey bitches, whats up?" the first statement could communicate that the speaker has issues

"Come back with something better", "I am waiting on you to produce the stats", "<crickets/>" ...um, why would I want to engage in a discussion with someone who communicates like this? Also before you insult people's arguments by att

Sexism can manifest itself in many ways, and the subtle ways arent less legitimate concerns just because it could be worse. "At least youre not getting beaten, be thankful for that". Sexism can totally be if you are a "nag" and get called a

Same boat here as a contractor. If I could take my own advice, it would be great. My goal with new workplaces is to be reserved and act introverted until I have figured my colleagues out a bit. A few of my work places have been political mi

Im in BC Canada, and am not a lawyer, but if they arent paying you, they have violated not only your contract, but basic employment law. I would get out of there asap. You are essentially providing them financial credit (unwillingly). When
