The title is misleading. He didn’t just lie about his dad dying. He literally forged his academic credentials, test scores resume. Everything. He absolutely deserved to get kicked out. That scholarship should go to someone who isn’t such an entitled ass.
I think context makes a difference on whether a call is welcome or not, appropriate or not.
If the email asks me to write out a bunch of info I know off the top of my head, just call me. Don’t make me write out something that I can just tell you much faster.
If you’re asking something that kicks off a conversation going back and forth like if you need help walking through something, sending emails back and forth is annoying and dumb. Knocking it out in one call is faster and easier than exchanging 15 emails.
On the other hand, if you don’t need an answer right away, if you need documents or images or if you need to communicate about something that requires a record of the communication, email is better.
I have been annoyed equally by getting calls and emails when people use them for things when they aren’t ideal.
Isn’t it interesting that the only thing a CEO ever gets arrested for is a crime that hurts investors?
From the article: In 2011 Hillis was asked why he worked on the clock instead of his biotech startup for cancer research. He said: “I think this is the most important thing I can work on. More than cancer. Over the long run, I think this will make more difference to more people.”
Am I the only one that thinks this guy is a bit out of touch?
I wouldn’t be surprised if they charged him a cancelation fee.
My credit got tanked years ago for a $95 doctor visit bill I was disputing that got sent to collections. Took me years to repair my credit. I spent most of my twenties with credit well below 600 and unable to get even small increases to my credit.
I hope this goes through and others don’t have to deal with this kind of crap (or worse) because of the mess that is credit reporting.
The story in Horizon Forbidden West is pretty good too. There’s a whole bit in the dlc about Ted Faro that I did not see coming, but it makes me think a lot of the tech bros running things today.
No, not dell. Always a bummer to learn other places doing this too though. Every time I see a company is pushing hard on the RTO stuff they just get crossed of my job search list.
Yeah agreed. I never quite understood FDRs thinking on putting an even number of people in the court. We have so many 5-4 decisions now an even court would be chaos.
He should pull an FDR and try to get the court expanded to 12.
Yes unfortunately. Managers get a Tableau report weekly based on badge use (not sure if badge out is included). I’m going to see how things go over the next week or two but I may just have to talk to her and tell her this isn’t working and offer to go remote or leave.
I saw that too. Does that mean Masino made the 5 pt plan, announced it and then bounced to Taco Bell?
Or is this just shitty writing and lazy editing?
Took a job recently after being unemployed for a while. Three days in the office, but only 15 minute commute. Nobody from my team in the city, and nobody I will ever need to work with works in this office. I have almost nothing to do so I’ve been filling my days doing training on our products. My floor has probably 100 or so cubes with about 20-25 people on on any given day on the whole floor. I sit in a wing of a building with 4 cubes and mine’s the only one in use. I go pretty much the whole day without seeing or speaking to another individual.
At least when I worked from home I had my dogs to keep me company. Now i just get in, counting the minutes until I hit 8 hours and leave asap. I’m seriously considering resigning because I’m going nuts.
RTO sucks.
T mobiles service has been degrading since they acquired Sprint. I imagine this will only make it worse.
Yeah, but the non-tech savvy business leaders see they can generate code with AI and think ‘why do I need a developer if I have this AI?’ and have no idea whether the code it produces is right or not. This stat should be shared broadly so leaders don’t overestimate the capability and fire people they will desperately need.
This is great news. Hopefully a sign of more to come.
Plus they are bleeding money from all the acquisitions and haven’t seen the return they expected in game pass subs. The cost cutting isn’t done and it would be very surprising for them to try to dump more money into new storefronts when they are still trying to make their own business model profitable (to their expectations).
Biden has come a long way from the good old days of “Diamond Joe”. I’m so disappointed in him for how he’s handling this.
He only owned up to it because the LA Prosecutor says they can’t prosecute him for it.
Well the funny thing is Etsy actually made a different choice originally. They claimed b-corp status, which is supposed to mean they prioritize social good in their business strategy. It’s annoying that they seem to be so much more profit focused because if they were going to go to the trouble of becoming a bcorp they really should be working harder to stick to it.
Here’s a bit more about benefit corporations (b-corps)
