> The incentive was that we would have a pizza party IF we hit the deadline. This same thing happened to me when I was a wee lad. I then personally ordered and paid for a few pizza…

Thank you very very much for posting that 1986 article which documents clearly the facts of what was been going on. It is an established documented fact that the tax changes were i…

Yes, yes and yes. Absolutely. Key parts of the sordid, brutal and shameful history of american slavery in the 20th century. US slavery in the last 100 years, and the support and de…

That's part of the edit after an extremely useful post with insight into the reality started getting downvoted because it didn't conform with the political or whatever beliefs of t…

I remember ComputerLand stores. Sounds like he was a hard working guy who earned his success. Saipan is one of the most corrupt backwards places on earth. As a US trust territory, …

It's a bit frustrating to see very insightful contributions like my comment here downvoted. Downvotes isn't meant to be for good points. Let me make it more explicit though for peo…

It depends on a lot of things! We'll assume that whatever it is you are having people do is something that is intrinsically rewarding, benefits them, and is not taking up their ent…

Myself I pretty much don't do jack shit in any given hour of the year, so I guess companies that would hire me at those rates are getting ripped off since they aren't getting anyth…

Hm, well thanks for the clarification. I just reread it several times and it's not clear. I'll agree that it's ambiguous. It would be interesting to know more. Is this a fixed 25 d…

1. Respect 2. Autonomy 3. Control None of those cost money yet so few workplaces value them since disrespect, micromanagement, and industrial era style division of labor are addict…

This is considerably better than others since he comes out and s ays it's 30 days off. But it leaves many questions unanswered. Is it paid holiday or not? I see there is a bonus fo…

Yeah Bob, what about the clearance? The crazy people are the ones that won't push back at a certain point of provocation. You hear about these women that stay with abusive spouses …

I used to say native applications were the only way to do a lot of things like photo editing. Since then I have been proven wrong in finding photo editing and even audio production…

I appreciate your insightful and relevant comment. Pity it's getting downvotes.

Are you saying then the deadline is always "ASAP"?

"Only people whose sick leave exceeded 2 standard deviation were notified" I don't understand what notified means? Notified of termination? So each year the company measured which …

For those that work, they do go mad. Haven't you noticed that Americans are obese drug addicts with little knowledge of world culture, don't speak any other languages at all, and l…

I am a designer, engineer and entrepreneur, but I have also taught high school in the past. As an engineer, I would not consider working for a place that had a problem with less th…

This is the exact reason why these policies claim there is no specific time. No allocated days legally means zero days. Companies use this "flexible vacation" policy specifically s…

Absolutely so. I've seen this policy many times and it always results in less vacation around. Not only that but in his very post linked to he makes clear that he considers a prope…

Hm. The thing is, tech firms are known for having amorphous and ill defined vacation policies that seem very open in print, but in practice, no one takes it because you're not real…

How cool. $20,000 per text is much more than most textbook authors are claiming they are getting from the publishers.

It's a very interesting question. I use yahoo a fair bit for email accounts and for reading the news. I am not sure how they monetize this activity if at all. Recently they forced …

I've learned about a lot more than physics from Feynman. I also see little evidence that classes are taught by experts in their subject matter except at the university level, and e…
