The crisis was 07/08, but the buildup was almost a decade in the making, does that count as short term?

If you think it's easy to game 30M in short term revenue, please try to do that in a large firm.

The risk/compliance teams would be interested in your strategy.

Or, someone steals your car, commits a murder with it and places it right back at the same location in the exact condition.

The police will come after you and you will need to explain. But you still have your car.

New homeowners: Know where your GFCI reset switches are located.

I just had a fun time debugging why some of my outlets weren't working. Turns out there was a GFCI tripped in the garage, a few rooms down from the outlet.

Why haven't you been able to get an offer somewhere else?

You're missing the part where 5% isn't let go at once triggering WARN.

Think of this is as a continuous process of evaluation -> pip -> fire. This means no WARN and no severance.

Paranoia and backstabbing happens everywhere.

What happens if stack rank->pip is too obvious is that people and teams will not cooperate with newer fresh meat. They're incentivized to keep knowledge protected for their job. New people struggle to get above the pip mark and it becomes a revolving door.

100% Agree, We could have $10k electric cars in the US, specifically made in China. It's not going to happen anytime soon for enough reasons that could fill a HN comment section.

I'm FT WFH, my anecdote is that every time I'm on a call, it is the father who is taking care of the kids in the background.

If we're trying to equalize traditional gender roles, how about getting more fathers home to take care of kids?

Better yet, remove gender completely and let WFH stand on it's own, which it clearly does.

About as useless as the original comment.

WFH benefits are apparent on their own for a individual. How WFH affects diversity in a specific company maybe a useful exercise , it doesn't change the benefits much.

To answer your question, No they aren't.

Until the REAL scammers are brought down, people will take actions into their own hands.

Wait until you get to 50 and you have to take OFF your glasses to read things that are small or close.

This is the most annoying part of all my vision problems.
