Stop talking about WFC leadership

Minimizing work is the best strategy.

Don’t work too hard. To people who take pride in the firm, stop it. Your skills are NOT transferable. You will get the same “meets” due to stack ranking. It’s just not worth it. Save your energy for building skills that can be taken elsewhere! — read more

Tech AMA with TK

It was nice of her to schedule the AMA for 8 AM Eastern time. That way it makes it too early for most of the Tech staff to even bother to show up. I can imagine all the folks in Chandler being up at 5AM to hear her speak.
