The vast majority of tech companies having hiring freezes or layoffs are the ones that overexpanded post-pandemic. You throw money at people when the money is good, and the hose dries up during a recession.

Except if you don't give the signal within 5 seconds of your ride ending, it immediately restarts the ride with you on it.

If the employees were not being productive, that would show up in their KPIs and reviews and they would be fired. That process already exsists so you can't use it as a scapegoat. This is squarely about leadership's poor planning.

Then say that and don't blame employee laziness for poor planning.

From what I understand, Netflix doesn't cull the herd — they get rid of good (but not excellent) performers too. The article is talking about actually cullung the herd and getting rid of the mediocre performers who previously could ska

I feel like I am taking crazy pills having this conversation. Regular evil is letting the air out of someone's tires or lying to your spouse, not wasting away the life savings of hundreds of people.

Getting people put on terror watch lists is not introductory level evil. We are talking about destroying lives, not ruining someone's day.

This kind of implies you do not find greed and a lack of scruples to be evil.

Not only is the availability, but so is the image. I had a CEO who loved the image of an office full of people all day, all week. I've been working remotely since then. I think he just wanted to feel important.

The implication that smart people don't desire the balance to be with their families every day is bizarre.

Aren't the best engineers generally at national labs and NIST and NASA? FAANG is known to be full of money/status chasers.

I am at a loss for words if people expect Facebook of all companies to not access the data on their platform. Of course they will access the data on their platform. Texts and apps like Signal are a different story.

If you think it is a good thing to obey the state's abortion laws, then yes it is a good for violating messages to be reported to law enforcement. The question I think you meant to ask if it is a good thing for companies to obey the st

I hope that didn't come across as my point. Some have a rich social life and prefer the office, and others wfh. Some have a poor social life and prefer the office, and others wfh. My point was just that those who fill their social life

I only dislike Christians trying to jam their God into law and make the US a theocracy like Afghanistan. Their hope is that people like you see any criticism as an attack on Christianity. They hope useful idiots do exactly what you are doin

Not just lack of discipline, but these types tend to have poor social skills, hoping to make their only friends via work. Employers don't want people to have rich social lives.

Only one group of people complains about secularism in America, and it's Christians. Notice that Hidus and Muslims in the US do not have a problem with the separation of church of state like Christians do.

That has nothing to do with secularism and people turning to religion for a sense of belonging. That has everything to do with housing policy being bent so in favor of the rich, most American homes are built to be secluded with no real way

There are a million things in this country that don't follow the democratic process such as the electoral college. But is that what you're really arguing?

How exactly are secularlists disenfranchising religions? There is a large swathe believing the separation of church and state is religious oppression, and they act like the country is not for those of all faiths.

"They we're technically taxed" is just pedantry. What is the effective tax rate compared to the 1950s-1970s when the economy actually worked for the middle class?

Or actual taxation of the wealthy, universal health care, and housing policy change.

The official narrative will always blame the powerless. Weird how the calls for mandatory driving tests for the elderly only come from social media and not established media.

The important part that social media companies focus on is making sure they cannot be held liable. Narrowing in on ensuring their app is minimally legally and financially at fault for these phenomena. Like that is the utmost corporate prior

I mean it's basic "got mine, fuck you". The story of history, then we rewrite the narrative to paint the rich as virtuous and self-sacrificing after the fact. The assumptions that others would swallow such narratives is the a
