RTO
What happens if someone refuses to return to the office? Anyone had this situation?
Why so much resistance towards working in the office?
Interestingly, some who first resented having to work from home, now resent having to work in the office. How is it that before the pandemic no one objected to doing their work in the office and now suddenly many are objecting to it?
Question about references
I've been actively looking for a new job but I'm worried that any serious offer might end up in them contacting my manager for references and then I'm screwed. He's the main reason why I'm leaving. He's been making my life a living he-l since I... — read more

The new interns have a starting salary of 150K. They have no experience and no proven work record but given this high salary. Which id--t on the 15th floor at 240G signed off on this? These salaries will throw off the budgets of many LOBs, probably... — read more

The real problem isn’t layoffs, it’s the lack of layoffs
