As a VP from Microsoft described it to me privately many years ago: “warm GULAG”.
What’s really disappointing is I’m pretty sure there’d be no mutiny at all if HRC got elected. Case in point: ICE family separations happened under Obama as well, with nary a peep from anyone at those companies.
One person’s “lack of work ethic” is another’s “having a life”. Just let it go, everything will be fine. Consider this your secret weapon for talent retention. Nobody actually does even 32 hours of real, actual software…
This needs to be transitive or it won’t work. It’s trivial to set up a front which complies and subcontract everything to the old (but perhaps renamed) company that does not.
You know what else you will not find in Germany? Successful software companies. There’s basically SAP (which is a multinational that hides its revenues abroad) and hardly anything else. Hmm, I wonder why that is.
500 and 700k is about the level of comp of Google’s Staff and Senior Staff levels correspondingly, assuming a high yearly review rating. Let me assure you, there are a lot more of them than you think, at Google and…
Obviously this depends on the field and on your baseline in the US. I suppose if you made $100k/yr here, then making 60k euro there would not be that big of a deal, even though taxes are much higher. But if you made…
I don't doubt it, but for the very best the multiplier is greater than that, and not moving becomes harder. The difference is between lifetime wage slavery and financial independence at that point.
The salary of a skilled German software engineer in this field is about 1/4th of the US counterpart. So I wish the German government luck in their endeavor, because they’re gonna need it.
He’s one of the very few journalists I still read and trust. Everybody else (including all other journos from The Intercept) has gone off the deep end after the election.
Most of the world (and especially China and Mexico) cannot withdraw from the largest market for their goods without their economies totally collapsing. That’s why Trump is going to win his trade wars. Money talks,…
>> Except flood insurance doesn't appear to be economically viable in those areas That’s by design. They don’t want you to build there.
Actually start worrying when insurance companies start refusing to insure properties there against flooding. Estimating risks is their bread and butter, they will know. I’ve actually discovered (from the Yale “Financial…
Take a look at Tab Wrangler extension. It closes tabs you haven’t used in a while.
I'd strongly prefer a non-violent solution.
>> previous employer termination service I would pay pretty good money to terminate one of my previous employers.
Oh they were defending it all right, when it gave the Obama campaign the complete US social graph, which helped Obama to secure his second term.
Because OP wanted to "switch" to European socialized insurance, without also "switching" to their levels of incomes and taxes as well. Of course their cost of labor is lower: they socialize a bunch of costs that would…
Doesn't have to be higher taxes, that's my point. It can be solved by lowering the cost through technology and regulation, which Obama chose not to do, because that would eliminate a ton of jobs. Switzerland has…
>> But you would save more I wouldn’t.
Once again, US share of taxes in GDP is 26%. Denmark: 50.8, Sweden 49.8, Germany 44.5, France 47.9, UK 34.4. So weighted by GDP it does cost quite a bit.
That’s why I deliberately did not say income tax rates. They ream you in other ways. Canada’s taxes as percentage of GDP are 31.7%. US is 26%. And on top of that I was referring to Western Europe, where they are close…
>> I'd switch immediately a well I doubt it. Someone needs to pay for it, so this switch would have to imply a 20% tax increase. Unless you’re paid peanuts, it’s not worth the tradeoff.
I don’t think that phrase by itself would be problematic if it wasn’t for everything else that’s going on there. I mean, the dude was legit proud of his “just the tip” T-shirt and “suck my dick” jokes in the workplace.…
