I'm a software developer and I come to HN to keep up with new ideas and trends etc. Often see things on here days before it becomes a thing on news outlets. Generally I like to ski…

Its only a problem if you have a non-compete clause in your contract and even then, unless you're taking intellectual ideas, its hard to enforce. In the past I worked at an insuran…

Ok, so firstly to your question, it sounds like you aren't happy at the company, not just that they may, or may not be unhappy with your fit. Personally in my experience, managers …
