All these companies are following a single directive from McKinsey. That’s why all their policies are the same. 3 days a week. Within 50 miles of an office you have to go in. If you don’t you should get paid 20k less.
These numbers all come from this bullshit consulting firm with a long history of terrible advice. CEOs are seemingly incapable of critical thought.
People need to get a fucking grip. How could you think to even do this?
if the US didn’t support Israel and took a neutral stance on the Palestine issue
I think we are agreeing with each other? I’m arguing modern relations. If the US did not align so closely with Israel over the last 80 years the situation would be different. But because we did, it is how it is today.
Edit: if you would, allow me to amend the comment you responded to. I inaccurately stated what I mean. We have alliances with Saudis, we have agreements with Egypt.
This article articulates the points I would like to make better than I could ever make them. It also agrees that American politics is a driving factor, of course it is. But also explains what I mean about strategically and intelligence wise.

Edit2, the important bit from the article to support my view
Initially, Israel served as a countervailing force to Soviet influence, but this line of thinking persisted even after the Cold War. And it became even more pervasive after 9/11, when it was discovered that some of the perpetrators of the attack were citizens of Saudi Arabia, which the US counted as another key ally in the region. Doubting that it could continue to rely on the Saudis, the US leaned more heavily on Israel based on the perception that it had more shared values and interests. That includes a shared commitment to democracy, though Netanyahu’s undemocratic plan to overhaul the Israeli judiciary has recently put that in question.
“It’s not only a long-standing moral commitment; it’s a strategic commitment,” then-Vice President Biden said in 2013. “An independent Israel, secure in its own borders, recognized by the world is in the practical strategic interest of the United States of America. I used to say … if there were no Israel, we’d have to invent one.”
there are also some good books on the subject I can recommend.
I’m very well read on the subject, thank you. A lot has happened since 1948. Maybe read some more recent history yourself.
I can’t disagree more. Saudi Arabia is absolutely not an ally. Egypt is absolutely not an ally either. They may be strategically important, but the US can basically guarantee loyalty from the Israelis. No such loyalties will be found in Muslim nations. Egypt also does not have a recent history of stability. Israel is also the only “Western” nation in the Middle East.
Edit: allow me to clarify and see my responses to this. I am wrong in saying they are not allies. We are allies economically and militarily, but the relationship is not the same as the relationship with Israel. For many reasons, and those reasons, some expressed below, are why the US considers Israel the most important ally in the region. HOWEVER, things have been slowly changing in recent years. But how these relationships play out is yet to be seen.
The reality of the situation is that Israel is an extremely important ally in the region. They are our biggest intelligence partner in one of, if not the most important regions in the world politically and economically. Everyone around them is, to some extent, an adversary or enemy to the United States. Until these benefits they provide the United States in the region is outweighed by their atrocities there will be continued, almost unconditional support from the US government.
I’m a big expanse fan and I played the game. It was ok. It suffers from what these games usually suffer from, the game play is never great. Also, I found the story to be lacking, and a lot of the hard Sci-fi that I love in the expanse was just wrong in the game. Moving in zero g was cool but a bit nauseating. It did feel like decisions matter, though, which was nice.
Backblaze. Automated with Velero in kubernetes.
Republicans are the ones who sponsored and overwhelmingly supported the bill to extend non dischargeable student loan debt. The conservative court is the one who struck down Biden’s loan forgiveness. The GOP in the house are the ones refusing to include debt relief in funding bills. Nice to know you’re not only ignorant, but you’re proud of it. So this isn’t worth my time anymore.
Which brings me back to my first point. It’s a shame everybody has taken out these loans for an education and don’t know anything about how our political system works.
That’s 2005 buddy, I’d say he’s been hard at work trying to fix his mistakes.
Source? I didn’t see that. Unless you mean in 1976? Or 2005? Both of which is way before all the work he has been doing now, and was passed by the house and senate at the time and signed by the presidents. Not just Biden.
This might be the worst part of student loans. You take out all this debt, you get this degree, and yet you still come out ignorant as hell about how the US system of government works. You don’t even know who to be mad at, so you blame Biden.
He also went on different news networks on Sunday blaming the Dems for nearly causing a shutdown. He’s a clown.
Yup, sent out a bunch of applications.
I was very happy with my job until they announced return to office. I’ve never been more demotivated in my life, and I’m unbelievably lazy.
And relative to coal’s radioactivity, it’s essentially nothing.
Please identify the corpse in this story. Or has making shit up to support your arguments been working out for you?

I tend to agree with that, the backlash at my company has been wild. Lot’s of people making “career inhibiting” statements on Slack out of anger of the new policies, and in my opinion the executives have been extremely rude and disrespectful in their responses. I believe they want their US employees to leave the company so they can outsource to lower cost labor markets. Which never works out in my industry and in the early 2000s almost destroyed the company I work for, but these people never learn or care. They just want their 5th house and 2nd yacht.
