Mike left

Lmao Mike came in, penalized the teams leaving hard workers out of their jobs and sending layoffs. Now he is out in 13 months tell me he didn’t do well in his job. The leadership changes that took place lately and continuous after Frank left clearly tells that the company isn’t doing so good, it’s like having puppets in positions that don’t make sense.


Self Promotion Week

This week must be post self-indulgent posts on LinkedIn on how great I am as a leader week.

Honestly, it’s so cheesy and desperate and why would you want to tell your competition what your doing.

I would ban employees from these self-indulgent posts; customers see right thru it anyhow. Comes across as don’t fire me please or hire me please to outsiders.


Xbox to Close Compulsion Games Studio

Xbox plans to close game developer Compulsion Games. The studio is known for titles such as South of Midnight. Compulsion leadership is negotiating with Microsoft about its future. The number of affected employees remains unclear. This follows recent Xbox financial struggles and expected layoffs.

SCHULMAN HAS GOT TO GO part II

Wow. Have you seen this? I just saw it. They’re talking about it all over—everyone is talking about it. Dan Schulman, the guy from Verizon. Great company, by the way, very big, very powerful, though frankly, the signal in Mar-a-Lago could be better. We’re looking into that.

But Dan—fake news Dan—he’s writing love poems. Can you believe it? Love poems! To his wife! And let me tell you, I’ve seen the poems. Total disaster. Weak. No vocabulary. Sad! He tells his wife her eyes have "low latency." Incredible. If I told Melania she had low latency, she’d lock me out of the penthouse. Total catastrophe. Dan is out there dropping calls in the bedroom. He’s got zero bars, folks. Absolutely zero bars. Sad!


Proprietary don’t do that

Stata can’t. SAS can’t. SPSS can’t. MATLAB’s answer is “call Python from MATLAB.”

even where these tools have some capability, it requires calling Python, or expensive licenses, or both.

I’ve rarely met anyone who learned Python or R after switching from Stata or SAS and said, “I wish I were still working in those.”

Probably the only way out of this mess is to make FOSS illegal or legally cripple its usage within the country and, if possible, around the globe. There are movements afoot…


Asking the experienced folks

I want to hear from people who've moved around in their career. Have you ever worked anywhere with a more toxic environment than this place? With leadership that cares less about its employees? I'm not being rhetorical. I really want to know. Is this just how all big companies are?


A huge miss by the World Cup team

EH built a huge ticker out front counting down the World Cup and you couldn’t manage to make your shoes different colors than the competitors? It’s literally a sea of pink cleats, impossible to set apart the brands. Nike in a nutshell, who is to blame? Should the color team be accountable? The head of global football? Where is the ticker to determine how many more days we have to watch this embarrassment?


What’s going on in Permian drilling?

Outsider looking in, little odd they’ve had a posting for a position, it disappeared and then less than a week later another is posted. Context being always rumors of a less than stable group over there and some toxic management… had considered applying, but now I’m curious about morale. Anyone know how pay is? Low relative to midland based peers, but still passable?Thoughts?
