Microslop at it again

Oh honey

Show me a disease with multiple unreliable treatment methods and I'll show you a disease that is not well understood

The U.S. could of course just have automatic cost of living adjustment s to minimum wage, like it does for social security payments.

At least in America, entitlement programs, once enacted, are so popular they have been impossible to remove, as most recently evidenced by the attempts to get rid of obamacare. See also social security and medicare.

I was glad to see that social security was mentioned- the universal basic income we already have for the elderly.

IT jobs are only a part of the total jobs picture.

I am beginning to think, somewhat uncomfortably, that due to industry consolidation most big corps don't have to worry about having great talent anymore. They are squeezing more money out of an established business model in a market that no longer has real customer choice, as long as they have good enough people to keep things going it's not a problem.

I am sorry to hear about your negative experiences. Do you think you would ever relocate for a job again? Would a relocation bonus make a difference?

hey in this instance does this mean you are making ~150,000 or ~500,000?

Unlimited PTO is a scam and if anything makes an offer look less attractive.

Any big sudden change will have winners and losers. Managers that have gotten by measuring butt in seat time and command and control can no longer rely on these skills, of course they would prefer to go back to the old way vs the much harder work of trying to figure out which team members are really providing the best results.

My theory is that RTO is a way to reduce headcount without having proper layoffs and severance.

Is it realistic to think self-driving cars will have a 0% fatal accident rate?
