Naw, the C level people who mistakenly assume there is loyalty rarely get involved in hiring decisions. The hiring managers already know about nobody-owes-loyalty thing and most likely thinks the same way anyway.
But it wasn't "forever". But it's been long enough that the name has stuck even though the sizes have shrunk. Work on a house a hundred years old and the sizes won't match up. Makes me wonder if it's possible to order actual 2"x4" for remodeling or repair work?
Except that there is no clear precedent that a statement from the copyright office can override the DMCA. That's why a law to this effect would be useful even if the copyright office says it isn't.
Well, the medical industry *IS* technology. However a ride hailing service, and quite a lot of other "tech" companies, have only a vague passing resemblance to technology. It's not a tech story so not sure why it's here, other than that it's a workplace story.
Anyway, I would say that the toxic culture is what made the memo be necessary. Reasonable companies don't need memos to remind their workers to do reasonable things.
A good point. I've said in the past that we're already hiring the smartest women; but since we hire so many dumb men at the same time we're really not going to have equality until we hire dumb women at the same rate.
It's called "civilization". That's where you learn to control base animal emotions in order to improve your living standards and the living standards of the species as a whole.
Loyalty? Why be loyal to a company that's treating you badly? Loyalty is earned. The company will give zero loyalty to the employee so none is expected in return. This "duty" does not exist.
Going the HR route is the only way to do this. Seriously, that is what employees are trained to do, either explicitly by the management or indirectly because face-to-face interactions fail so badly. HR can help defuse the situations before there starts being a dominance struggle.
If someone is already harrassing people for their gender, then you can never have an adult-adult conversation anyway, the most you can get is adult-child.
The fact that you even think going to HR is being childish or a cop out says volumes about your own attitudes I think.
I've seen this trend in online games, like MMOs. Ie, some of the same nerds who got picked on in school turn to an stereotypical jock attitude when online, Nice and polite in person, lack of all civilized behavior behind the keyboard. Especially in competitive parts of the games, whereas the real jocks would have had coaches teaching at least some sportsmanship, the nerd turned competitive player has had no such training and thinks teabagging is perfectly normal.
Sure she can get hired. If you're at a big company you'll never bump into a CEO except by accident anyway. Startups are very dfiferent because there are so few employees that you have to interact with the CEO. If that CEO at a small company is being an asshole in front of overworked and underpaid workers then any one should expect payback.
The developers aren't at fault. The people in charge have to be the ones to demand security. Blaming pros and cons on Agile or DevOps misses how companies really work. If the management puts security as a required feature, then it'll get added in even with Agile. Nobody should be dumb enough to allow bottom tier developers to set their own goals.
You also need management to actually hire security experts. A lot of failures come from having novices work on security (novices can mean those with decades of software experience but only a superficial understanding of security and zero academic understanding of crypto).
A coworker pointed out flaws in the circuit in several places, and was ignored. Problems arose. Expensive outside agency points out the same flaws, and suddenly meetings are held. Not that the problems were fixed, but at least there were meetings to hand wring about it.

I need some motivation now.

True, but that's not the USPTO, and we know how well the government departments fail to work together...

I voted for Pedro.
I always suspected that Chewie was a never-nude.
Chewie: Rawwrawrr!
Han: Has anyone on this ship even seen a chicken?

You're comparing Uber to the Puritans? That's a new view of the story, I must say.
And she thanks you for that.
It's true. When it's time to pass some shit, people start wanting the assholes back.
A good point. I've said in the past that we're already hiring the smartest women; but since we hire so many dumb men at the same time we're really not going to have equality until we hire dumb women at the same rate.
Are you sure? That troll is humping my leg as a show of affection, and I think I can get it to stop by throwing down some strips of bacon.
It is possible to ask a woman out on a date before asking for sex. This Uber supervisor was not fired for merely asking for a date.

You shouldn't look to drunken college fratboys as your examples of natural male masculinity.

Shhh, you're spoiling the bro mythology!

No, some games were purchased before the TOS changed. However the original TOS probably had a clause that said they could change the TOS at any time.
