I’m engineering adjacent (analytics / data sci) but my experience has been the best engineers pitch and pick their own projects rather than being assigned out weeks in advance. Jus…

Why would a long tenure be a problem?

It didn’t violate the dress code…

It’s kind of odd to think it’s NEVER correct for a company to do layoffs. The CEOs job is to run the company - if the company is more efficient why shouldn’t the CEO be rewarded? T…

This is an incredibly personal issue, who cares? You’ve made the internet harder for yourself to use...

I don't think so, because an idea this obviously silly should fail under almost any market conditions.

As a frequent flier I've found flying is much more stressful to my body than one might expect. Long flights make me completely miserable, sometimes for multiple days afterward. Plu…

It seems you've been hurt recently by a consultant :). The institutional response to managing the risk of complex systems is often to introduce layers of approval and process that …

I would encourage everyone here to actually go ahead and read the manifesto/letter. I did and was surprised by its tone, given the type of headline this situation is attracting. I …

First and foremost you should contact a lawyer - HN isn't a good forum for getting legal advice. If you contact your local bar association they can set you up with a minimally cost…
