They're running employee testimonial ads about how great it is to work at their warehouses on national broadcasts pretty regularly now. That's all I needed to know that it's going downhill faster rather than slower.

This! I had an hour plus commute living outside of Beantown when I first got out of college. I just don't want to do that again. Also one of my friends just bought for the first time and he indicated it's expensive as hell. As

The insurance companies are for profit corporations who pay politicians so they can keep taking your money when you're healthy and cutting you when you're not. The army is not, as far as I know, a for profit enterprise.

I assume it looks bad if a candidate someone hires ends up being a terrible fit. This is basically how it goes everywhere else at larger companies. Visibility is more important than getting things done. Like, I'm staffed at a company

On the one hand, I believe it's definitively a good thing that these services will be allowing for creation of niche content. I have long believed that your broadcast networks / USA / TNT just straight up cannot make good co

1) They have perceived value, which for children who don't know any better, is really important. 2) In many cases you can cash out. Fortnite accounts with'valuable' or rare skins getting hacked and sold is a real thing. T

Warframe is pretty guilty of the many resources trade off, and starting out the game you're basically forced to pay for more warframe slots because you don't really have good enough loot to grind the good loot that people will tra

I've always wondered if uber were to abandon their ongoing development efforts and focus on support and maintenance, would they would actually be profitable? It seems to me they would need a fraction of the tech workers they currently

I certainly have sat in on interviews and think it's valuable experience for a senior, especially when you're looking to fill a particular gap on the team. I was more pointing out that this is a very generic comment around a very

'Get involved with hiring for your team and company, and maintain a high bar for hiring quality candidates.' Posts derailing this 'high bar' are posted semi-daily to Hacker News, no? It's a really big dilemma (exte

This and the Uber 'proposal' coming on the same day! Does the 2019 corporate playbook say cover your ass because regulations are coming or something like that?

I am a lifelong gamer and for about as long, my parents have hated it. I remember one time they made me read about Korean guys packed like rats in computer labs, chainsmoking cigarettes and farming gold / whatever you farm in WoW for

I used to think they would follow the xanga / myspace train and be blown out of the water by something but that's not the case anymore. They have proven they can just buy any competitors or quickly copy their features, and "

I mean, I'm not taking the blame away from him and this is a terrible look to be getting paid so much after a colossal screwup, but, in a company that size does the CEO really have any idea of the day to day or inner workings of the co

Yeah, this was a big issue about a decade ago when police officers could sue someone for recording said officers doing something illegal in Massachusetts. So they redacted that law then had to fast track an updated version of it a few years

I very much believe the only reason smartphones aren't listening to us and recording us constantly is due to battery purposes. When you plug something in, yeah, I have no trouble believing they're recording everything and storing

It seems like all big companies have to do is create a press release saying reports of your illegal activities are false, then rely on lawyers, spokespeople, donated lawmakers and spin to face little to no consequences. What are the odds th

I used CK the past two years and started getting a ton of robocalls and credit card offers. Not to mention my college that never had my phone number previously started calling me on a weekly basis hounding me for donations.
