Great advice overall !

What is even the point of measuring this at all times????

Hmmmm... not exactly an endorsement for parenting...

The economist talking about crypto.... talk about biased

> The question isn't "are the funds there right now" the question is "can we trust you" and the answer is probably no.

Why is the answer probably no? Because of what happened with FTX?

> Am I just the luckiest gen x tech dork alive?

... yes?

I mean I worked my ass off for years (and got raises every year, so lucky me). But when I asked for a promotion they gave the post to some new comer with less experience. (???) Lesson learned.

I loled, thanks for the laughs. Totally true though, everyone does this.

I totally relate. Had the same experience in a pseudoFAANG digital giant.Except the autistic etc part...

Thanks for the corrections! You are of course right, I'm not very up to speed on the different nuances.

If you don't accept the 4 month renewal of the probation period it is usually a firing reason for them... of course YMMV.

It is quite perplexing. I have the 1950X and can't update, can't even do the updates of win10 (maybe for some other reason) but still...

There is indeed a lot of red tape but these are the avenues to fire someone:

- Severe underperformance (building of a dossier over months will be necessary for solid proof).

- The employee doesn't come to work anymore without a valid reason

- There is the 'faute grave' reason. It means that the person did something very very bad in the company, for instance sexual assault, or put critical assets in jeopardy, fraud, blatant misbehavior, stuff like that.

Usually there is at least a 8 month probation period (for engineers and most high paying jobs) in which you can fire someone with between 2 days and 2 weeks notice. No need for a reason whatsoever. (This applies to France)

A LOT of less waste maybe ?

It is very inconvenient and a hassle to have 5 different cables for 5 different devices. It is a waste of space, materials... The economic gains by volume continent wide should not be underestimated.

Thanks for setting the record straight
