I think we should improve working conditions for everyone, not make them worse for everyone.

Yeah, the other complaints are valid but complaining about punching in? I don't see how that's an issue.

#23Your company is laying people off because they need something to do. They’re goalless in the extreme and relying on big talk and big action about the latest fad. You don’t have leaders, you have owners. You must look around and see the lack of men, and force yourself to become one.
> You must look around and see the lack of men, and force yourself to become one. What exactly does this mean?
I think parent commenter is using "men" in a manner similar to mensch, as in "a person of integrity and honor" [1]. In other words, "look around and notice nobody is taking responsibility, and choose to be the person who lifts others up." Or something.
It's a weird way to phrase it, in my opinion, especially in this era where we are generally avoiding ambiguously gendered collective nouns... but I'm pretty sure that's the gist. Or, at least, it's how I read it.

"Men" is colloquially used here to mean "decent people", "strong people", "principled people", etc. It's a generic positive description ("Be a man", "Man up").
Younger generations might bristle at this use of the word, and that's fine, but try to give the benefit of the doubt (in fact, it's a rule on HN).

#30How do you know your skills aren't marketable if you don't go out and market them? Go apply around. You don't necessarily need to leave to do it.
