If you are American this doesn't apply to you.

Libel laws in the UK are absurd.

Lookup how Google does performance reviews and you'll find out why they are so dysfunctional as a company. They took Intel's Objectives and key results performance review system and turned it into a cross between Logan's Run and the Salem Witch Trials.

OKR's became Google's go to excuse to fire older workers, and they have been sued so much for age discrimination - calls to the carnival - that it raised the average age someone was fired above 35 to 40 or so today.

Google hires fresh graduates out of places like Stanford's and SJSU's CS departments like off an assembly line to replace older workers, who burn out, are fired for performance, or leave for a better gig by the time they are 40 at a very suspicious amazing rate.

The average age of Google's talent pool has been balanced mysteriously on or around 30 for years and years .

20-30 year olds typically are hired unto projects that only go places if the top dogs are fired for performance. So the young eat the old, and the old zealously try to make everyone happy - which makes no one happy- and this is the story that plays out over and over at Google. Google typically has gone from a run of about 10 years for a new service/product being cancelled or added to another existing product like a frankensteinian monster.

Intel uses OKR in highly motivated engineering teams working on hardware goals running up against the physical limits of modern technology and science.

Google uses OKR in lowly motivated creative/marketing/UI/etc teams working on nebulous software goals that are measured by browser cookies.

Best dunking I've seen this season.

Merry Xmas.

Imagine if Kissinger dies today too.

Looks nervously around.

Looks like Linus's Tech Tips is nuking this topic on their forums now, but the drama is spreading on Twitter.

[CW: Racism/Sexism in linked Twitter post replies]

I actually gave him the benefit of the doubt for a long time- made excuses for him but now that his incel army wants to show up in my feed- nah, in retrospect Linus 100% thought I was going to suck his dick for access to Floatplane. Fortunately, he has you to suck it instead.

Bloodsports should be allowed for TERFs and pedophiles.

South Korean work culture today is like Japan in the 1990's bad.

No one is nostalgic for this era except half-in-the-grave boomers.

Show me a punk musical in the 1980's. I'll fucking spend 7 days straight in the theater masked up.
