    Ridiculous take on the situation. You’re either a bot or a maga pos. Not sure which yet.

    Going through the motions of a PIP is a pain if you're management. If someone gets PIP'ed then a decent manager already exhausted all other avenues to get a team member to start co…

    Wouldn't we all love an extra $20K! In your scenario the cycle will likely repeat no matter how much money is injected into their life, and then what, throw another $20K at them? I…

    The lack of funds is typically a symptom of one or more underlying issues and not the root cause of being poor. How would throwing money at a symptom solve the problem?

    You don't think the wealthy using their money to silence the press is a problem in a functioning democracy? How odd.

    Friend circles have generally been primarily driven by proximity, with school & work being the main environments. Take away the forced socializing of work and all of sudden you hav…

    That's weird way to look at it. It's about value, not cost. For all we know that 40 user system manages the entire logistics of a national shipping company and saves them 50x the o…

    Throughout my career it's been my experience that the type of people you describe are never the top performers, and seldom average performers. The ones craving social interactions …

    I have never wanted the ability to downvote a comment more than I do after reading yours.

    You’re partially correct. Don’t forget the goodie bag the media gets to “support journalism” which basically is a huge pot of money. Or Telford bragging she could get articles writ…

    One more nail in the public education system. This will amplify the inequality through middle class folks hiring tutors and such or just opting for private schools where the curric…

    It’s hard to properly assess someone’s intellect, overall skills and, ability to adapt & learn in a few hours of interviews. Much easier to pass candidates through a sieve and pick…

    Business are legally required to accept cash. I pay cash all the time at gas stations or for small amounts ( Covid adds a bit of friction to this but I have yet to be refused a tra…

    But that’s also a failure of internal IT and processes. These types of architectural decisions really need to go through some sort of ARC before proceeding.

    Why look to the future? The last election has been openly opposed by a large percentage of the population AND agencies of the public service. Not like the Obama terms where much di…

    Worse as in you try to get things done in a cost effective way in order to deliver value to taxpayers but have to deal with lifers, deadwood, and clueless managers who are complete…

    May I suggest finding a cause you truly believe in and volunteering your tech skills. Most non-profits and advocacy groups have such a huge tech deficit that they could use someone…

    Some of us end up working at jobs infinitely worse than adtech, the public service.

    I’ve been pushing for a similar model for years as well but called but used rings to model it. Might have to try your solar system model and see if I have better luck.

    This was done to finally shut of the coal plants (a good thing in my mind) but the GTA consumes a lot of electricity and it had to come from somewhere. So in a classic case of exte…
