Startups are always lottery tickets but a ticket you can actually lose vast sums on is hilarious.

A creator who is sure that just a little more time and it will all come together? i always figured most of it went into legal fees to draw out a defense of a position you can't hold until favorable legislation went through

Performance per watt and efficiency are the drivers of CPU development because a room full of servers is relatively cheap but the electricity to both run and cool them is not.

the problem arises, especially in tech, when you need to repeat this magical cost cutting measure because sales didn't hit their numbers and investors are worried they won't get the dividend they are expecting. so now you're actually looking at cutting good workers or perks that get you good workers. now you're in the viscous cycle where you can't get or keep talent and have actively destroyed your long term prospects because every 3 months Wall Street needs its pound of flesh.

Lucy Heartfilia posted:This sounds retarded. Its very retarded but is the logical conclusion you begin referring to people as 'resources'. If you start looking at employees as people that can learn and grow their skillset and become capable of more than they were initially hired to do, they you might actually see them as a person and not just a line on a spreadsheet and that can cause problems when you need to start deleting those lines on a spreadsheet. Unless of course you're smart enough to realize that this resource can be given additional responsibilities with no increase in pay. Now we're cookin' with gas!

WampaLord posted:Couldn't these people sell their house worth a fuckload of money and move just a little bit away and not half a country away if they want to visit grandchildren? Its a red herring because these people don't want to actually move they just want other people to not move in which is why they have fought against any sort of responsible city planning for 30 years.

HR's job is to protect the company. Sometimes that means firing shitbags. Sometimes that means protecting employees by letting go some other resource.

cowofwar posted:Women should just be grateful that business puts up with their issues and be thankful they even have a job at all am i rite reddit.com/r/mra Thats oil field life pretty much. My mother in law's company provides a monthly stipend for field employees that don't use a company vehicle. She turned hers in last year and took the stipend, which is half of what the men's is and when she questioned it she was told that she was lucky they were giving her anything since she rarely goes into the field. The other guys in the office never go into the field.
