Crazy, I could have sworn this story was from a passage in 3 Body Problem (book 2).

Memory is quite the mysterious thing.

Funny, I assumed it was a subtle critique of how change always elicits haters. Though now I realize it was an honest non-sequiter to complain about his pet issue?

Honestly not sure anymore.

We call them DJ's and many are quite famous.

Sad to see Healthcare and government employment growth outpace everything else. If we're all nurses or regulators who will build our country?

Bring your whole self to work, at this point, is the term you use to criticize this policy, not to describe it.

Maternity leave is a version of BYWSTW. As are PRIDE/ethnicity related activities as work. Should we jettison those?

I agree it can and is taken to far, but I'd prefer to read an article about actually navigating an office with different types of real people. For example, for example, thermostats preferences, volume preferences, "we a family/team" vs "just a job" preferences, etc.

It might have - smart money says probably did have - other means of failure, but we didn’t last long enough to find them in any great detail.)

This has the same voice as patio11. Did he start this style? Is it new? Who else talks like this?
