Whats hilarious is that this is definitely not the case for regular MS employees
The MS employees I've met/interviewed were literally not allowed to read open source code or sample code on Q&A websites. Of course that was mostly 5+ years ago and I don't exactly ask them if their policies have changed.
When at Microsoft I was expected to be on top of Stack Overflow for our product, and there's a whole program where if you contribute to open source you get to vote on where the monthly OSS sponsorship goes.
I've linked to WebKit source before in exec reviews and no one bats an eye. So, changed, I'd say.
So you contend that "the Democrats" (who obviously are a fully united entity who never disagree) should have kept all the restrictions even though the Omicron wave is ending? What should they have done?
Damned if they did, damned if the didn’t. Republicans have it out for the Democrats, they can’t make a decision that they won’t call out as the wrong one.
Or spin as one, even if it means apologizing for Vladimir Putin.
I have to imagine a lot of that has to do with the HW work they do, as a percentage of their business? Even regardless of the confidentiality aspect (and we all know how Apple feels about that), for a decent number of folks, they might need some decently expensive equipment that wouldn't make sense to buy for everyone individually. At least according to how I perceive the company, the folks coming from that side of t…
That's my guess. And not just equipment, but prototypes and such. Imagine trying to make something intuitive and comfortable. How can you even judge that remotely? First you have to ship it around(or else make tons more units), then hope video quality suffices to see everything. In person you can get 20 people in a room and let them interact with widget x. See how they behave, hear feedback, etc.
I work in hardware, remotely. It's not really that expensive to create the extra prototypes. Dedicated lab space is more of a concern, but depending on what it is you can dedicate a small room to it.
Yes, even wireless stuff. You don't even need a portable faraday cage (but could buy one). Actually interfering is what is illegal, not just making random test electronics.
As I said - read further - they confirmed later by a coroner.
You're missing the point. The case was still counted in covid stats, because that is the accepted method from the WHO.
It's important to record died with covid. We might later find out there's a mental component. Maybe he experienced covid madness and undertook riskier behavior.
There is still the determination that he was shot, so it's not like we are going to forever think these deaths were just attributed to covid.
What does “look bad” mean exactly? Never promoted? Fired?
Mostly the former, it's pretty hard to get fired at Apple. Still, if the managers don't like me they won't give me fun work, since my team was big on "you don't get to do satisfying work until you prove yourself with unsatisfying stuff".
Set boundaries. Decide if someone violating them is worth quitting over. It's a competitive market, and frankly - Many of the FAANG companies are terrible to work for. No one is saying you have total control of your schedule - but if I'm consistently asked to take a meeting at 9pm my time... I'll have a meeting with my manager, and it will consist of the following: "I will quit if they keep asking me to meet when I'd…
> Many of the FAANG companies are terrible to work for. How’s F and G and N (Netflix right?)? Friend works at G India. Sings paeans . He moved there after 6 months at Uber (where I resigned in a week). I have always heard shitty things about AA though so I guess that kinda settles it.
All the FAANG companies have bad aspects to them. Some are more likely to have them than others. But those are averages, and I find that the biggest contributor to your workplace culture will be which specific team you’re on and not the company you’re at. (I know plenty of people at Apple and Amazon who are perfectly happy with their situation, and some at the others who aren’t. But I think the work/life balance on average tends to be worse there, yes.)
No one in the thread (except for you) has used the word 'conspiracy.'
GP above is clearly claiming an election conspiracy with Democrats in the U.S. Calling out international actions showing similar behavior only makes the claim more conspiratorial.

It is in California at least - you can moonlight on whatever you want when you are not on company time or equipment. Our vacation also doesn't expire and we also don't have non-compete clauses.
This is not how California law works, because you left out the (in this case very important) part where this is exclusive to things that don’t compete with your employer. If you work at a FAANG, the number of things they work on is very large and consequently they will claim large control over what you do.
