Remote Jobs are out there
Not a humblebrag, but remote jobs are out there. I was absolutely surprised when I realized one Tech related company (not a Magnificent Seven member) has 50ish across the spectrum, but mostly Tech. Don’t rely on aggregators and search engines, look... — read more

First Official Act
If I ever become CEO, my first act will be to fire everyone in marketing who was around in 2008 for not trading out the hideous red/yellow for the way classier Wachovia blue/green. Malpractice tbh. Thanks for listening to my Ted Talk.

I could really use some honest advice. I have lost confidence in my management. It feels like they're only focused on managing up, not leading and supporting the team. 100% delegation on their part. There are no real development opportunities here... — read more
What happened yesterday?
Yes, we have layoffs every other Tuesday, but usually it's nothing major. Yesterday seems to have been much larger than usual, and I don't think there was any warning it would happen like that. What happened?

Relocation offers this week 7/22?
Will Tuesday 7/22 be a combined layoff and relocation offer day?

Does the layoff dates in warn consider the 60 day working notice? For example the Iowa WARN shows 35 layoffs in August. Is that actually those who got laid off in June?
