You can sell dogs? Even with desirable breeds, I assumed their value was basically nil after they were a puppy, unless you sold for breeding. Is there a large used pet market?

My guess is its just some made up story by the CEO to try to get his employees to work harder because some anonymous employee had to sell their dog

#34Won't comment directly on the strange rant. But it highlights the reality that something has seriously changed since the pandemic. I have multiple employees that insist on staying home due to their dogs. The amount of discussion around employees' dogs is on another level now, partially due to the anxiety these dogs have when their owners go into the office.

Honestly this works as a very nice filter bubble for me. You want me to be on-site because you don’t trust me to be productive unless you can see me? Boy, I bet your Jira hygiene is a lot of fun to be subjected to.
I’ve made the permanent decision to not be forced to work in an office ever again. It will always be my personal choice where I am physically located: you probably aren’t paying me enough to control my location.

#37This guy seems really unhinged, and i HATE when people with more skin in the game and potential upside act like they're somehow more virtuous for working harder

#39"In the video, Clarke levies some big accusations at his staff. Among them: that 30 remote employees had entirely stopped logging on in a “quiet quitting” coup. He expressed suspicions that some of Clearlink’s developers had been holding down positions at other companies without Clearlink’s knowledge. He told content writers they should be using AI to increase output “30-50 times our normal production.” This sounds l…
