Excellent response. Got a laugh out loud reaction from me!Yeah, not much has changed, really.
We really need a laugh response (and maybe a few others) rather than just "like" or not.Excellent response. Got a laugh out loud reaction from me!
I remember him. Very eloquent but quite off-putting at times.Thanks for the info. I was not sure if that was something initiated by the member or by Amir. I was actually sorry to see this particular member leave. He sounded as if he could have provided some valuable insights if he could have just accepted that he was not always indisputably right. His tone in his last few posts that I read had softened considerably, so I was surprised when I saw his account was deleted.

Are those his powder skis?... and you are disparaging real Trolls

This reminds me of my father (an MD) asserting that MDs were de facto scientists and causing a rather large family argument.And there are also scientists-turned-engineers… (I doubt there are successful engineers-turned-scientists out there )

We used to run the other way when MDs were workin' in the lab.This reminds me of my father (an MD) asserting that MDs were de facto scientists and causing a rather large family argument.
He spent most of his career as a researcher, so he had a claim for himself.
Friend of mine who is a mechanical engineer, between 2000 and 2010 worked for three companies that were acquired by Berkshire Hathaway after he hired on with them. Of course B-H always talked about how things would improve, and things weren't changing much blah, blah, blah. Each time he and many others were let go as part of "Improving the company" right about the middle of December. Always great news just before Christmas. After the 1st two times he was really down in the dumps when his 3rd company was acquired by B-H. In each case they assured anyone asking that such was not happening and right out of the blue with no warning their jobs were gone.Modern equivalent'If you're on this call ... you're laid off': CEO fires 900 workers on Zoom call

There are business reasons such things happen at the end of a year, and for not letting on that any such thing is about to happen. To humans working somewhere of course, there is probably no worse time to get such news.
I worked for someone who had all of his managers and supervisors read that book.

Some are aware, but mostly words like Socialism are tossed out and flags are flown until talk of job securities fade.I wonder, are Americans aware that stuff like this only happens in the States? Most other countries have laws that don't allow these kinds of practices.
