The Microsoft Salary and Review System

f1055man writes "If you can make it through the obvious bias, Washington Alliance of Technology Workers (WASHTECH) has put together a revealing article on Microsoft's salary and review system. 'Internal Microsoft documents obtained by WashTech News show that Microsoft salaries have been stagnant or nudged only slightly higher over the past two years. Comments from current and former employees about the company's compensation and performance review system suggest a growing level of frustration among rank-and-file workers.'"

I hope digg doesn't come and take over.
Slash can cope with this new pretender and better it.
I've not noticed many dupes recently (infact the latest code refresh which includes related stories shows they have put something in place), and whether its just me looking more closely or not, but articles are being posted quicker now than before (its likely because they are being submitted more often).

Its us that makes slashdot what it is, if everyone submits an interesting article as often as we see them, then slash won't be outdated.

I have for the first time subscribed to slash because I believe things are improving, I hope they continue.

You're ignoring the "editor" that must approve the article. I submit interesting links when I find them. Most of the time, they're rejected ... and something that's not as interesting makes front page instead.

Slashdot is a bunch of links that the editors want you to see. Slashdot is a few selected people deciding what posts are informative and what are trolls. Digg is a bunch of links that the readers want to see. The readers make digg what it is.
