Really some insightful questions from the audience too.

Yep, happened to Arcane Austin. Redfall was a disaster because Bethesda couldn’t wrap their heads around the fact that Arcane made (awesome) single player games and not MMOs. Hopefully history won’t repeat itself.

It also sucks for the hiring manager who has to interview candidates they know they won’t hire just to stick to the process. It’s a waste of everyone’s time.

Hey, you all gave it your best shot, but it looks like it’s a little harder than you thought to run a candidate who won’t be a national fucking disgrace, doesn’t it?” >

It’s unfortunate that this rings true to many cities.

From the wiki article :

Perelman resigned from his research post in Steklov Institute of Mathematics and in 2006 stated that he had quit professional mathematics, owing to feeling disappointed over the ethical standards in the field. >

Anybody have any idea what the ethical standards might be that he’s referring to? Not sure if there’s a scandal or something or just an overall sense of displeasure with the field.

It’s hard to believe that Annapurna leadership (and Ellison specifically) are surprised by this. It reads like Ellison is known for backing out of deals or simply not honoring them. Why should the staff believe she would honor a spinoff deal?

Hope the team is able to get something off the ground.

I agree with other replies here with one addition. People who get into grad school are generally the high achievers from their high school and undergrad programs, so they are used to being the only or one of few star students. In PhD programs everyone is a star student, so it can be a bit jarring to folks used to being head of the class when they suddenly aren’t.

It can cause a bit of jealousy and competitive thinking but most of the time students get past it and focus simply on enduring the gauntlet.

" optimize staffing levels to be more comparable with industry leaders”

I will never understand why investor types like to play follow the leader rather than giving strategic or financial reasons for business decisions. Who gives a shit if every other studio is laying people off? If the staffing is right for your company then following other industry leaders will only make things worse and cement you in a place behind those leaders.

A professor I was taking a management class with gave me a fun burn on my thesis. I asked for his input on a specific point and he called it “intellectual masterbation” and proceeded to talk for 15 min or so about ideas he thought i should have studied instead (I was already preparing for my thesis defense so couldn’t change topics). Never got an answer on the actual question I’d raised.

Last year’s ‘upgrade’ was a strip of titanium around the case. They seem to be running out of ideas. Definitely not worth the insane price tag.

+1 Usual Suspects for sure. That movie blew my mind.

Oh yeah absolutely. But aside from random studies that all “show promising possibilities for future treatments” right now I don’t know that there’s a good outlook for anyone even if they get diagnosed today.

But if that changed I’d be first in line for the test.

So maybe this is an unpopular opinion but since there isn’t a cure I don’t think I want to know. If I’m not symptomatic why put myself and my family through more time just waiting for it to appear.

Omg that photo is fantastic

Yeah agreed. I never quite understood FDRs thinking on putting an even number of people in the court. We have so many 5-4 decisions now an even court would be chaos.

He should pull an FDR and try to get the court expanded to 12.

Yes unfortunately. Managers get a Tableau report weekly based on badge use (not sure if badge out is included). I’m going to see how things go over the next week or two but I may just have to talk to her and tell her this isn’t working and offer to go remote or leave.

I saw that too. Does that mean Masino made the 5 pt plan, announced it and then bounced to Taco Bell?

Or is this just shitty writing and lazy editing?

Took a job recently after being unemployed for a while. Three days in the office, but only 15 minute commute. Nobody from my team in the city, and nobody I will ever need to work with works in this office. I have almost nothing to do so I’ve been filling my days doing training on our products. My floor has probably 100 or so cubes with about 20-25 people on on any given day on the whole floor. I sit in a wing of a building with 4 cubes and mine’s the only one in use. I go pretty much the whole day without seeing or speaking to another individual.

At least when I worked from home I had my dogs to keep me company. Now i just get in, counting the minutes until I hit 8 hours and leave asap. I’m seriously considering resigning because I’m going nuts.

RTO sucks.

T mobiles service has been degrading since they acquired Sprint. I imagine this will only make it worse.
