Throwing yourself into 3 is usually a waste of time, especially if you know you're doing all you can and are having to meet arbitrary targets cooked up by some moron. They've identified the people they want to get rid of and an improvement plan gives them an excuse to do it - and they can get a few months of exceptionally hard work out of you before they do it;-).
Sure, wouldn't want to actually let the employee know why they're getting bad performance reviews, just fire them.
That was sarcasm, by the way. I know nothing about Amazon's employee improvement plan, but the general idea of giving extra assistance to employees who aren't performing as well as their peers is absolutely a good idea.
It's utterly naive to think that everyone can be in the top X% or that all employees will perform so equally that better or worse can't be distinguished.
Errrrr, that's their line manager's call, or at least it should be.
You're thinking of "Stack Ranking", used by Microsoft to foster hatred and backstabbing between their employees. And boy did it work.
Indeed. This kind of shit is also used by incompetent and utterly useless managers to keep themselves in jobs and get promoted. The good people are otherwise to pre-occupied. It's all fire and motion, as ironically Joel Spolsky once said.
'Human Resources' is fucking evil. It's a pointless paper shuffling department that for some reason has increasingly got its fingers stuck into a lot of pies. If you want to improve a company, seriously, fire HR. At best it is a department that should ensure people get paid, and that's it.
What a load of total and unadulterated crap. No one believes it because there's no evidence, they've been lied to before (Iraq, fake news?) and the 'mainstream' press have gone into a massive meltdown, looking for anyone, something, whatever, to blame apart from themselves. The fake news offensive is extremely ironic, and really quite sad.
Sorry, but anyone who thinks this isn't the case haven't used Exchange or Outlook. Ever. In any environment. I can claim any uptime figures I want by pulling random numbers out of my arse and posting anonymously.
Last I looked Outlook connectivity was offline, which should be familiar to anyone who has connected Exchange and Outlook on Windows via the incantations necessary.
Exchange was never designed as a 'cloud' service for use on that scale I'm afraid and Office365 is not something I'd be using and relying on if I wanted to use Exchange. E-mail is generally too critical.
Google certainly can determine for itself what it considers to be fake news.
No, it can't. It inevitably boils down to opinion, and that means censorship no matter what way you look at it. What about the fake story that it's all the Russians?
So can Facebook and any other web site. If you don't agree with their choices, go to another web site, or create one that adheres to an absolutist no-filtering policy. I wish you create success,
I wish Facebook, and Google, 'create' success reading and vetting every article written on every news web site..................
According to some sources, it was killed mostly because it was more profitable to operate a more conventional plane, not because it was not profitable at all.
Indeed. Profit, profit, profit. That's why we have very, very expensive beds on long haul flights. How about we just get there faster? But screw progress and the passengers.
Google is drawing the line at fake news, there is nothing wrong with that. You are drawing the line at news not made in the best spirit, that is fine too. Just not where google chose the line.
I think you need to sit down in a darkened room for a while and work out why that is incredibly stupid. Neither you, nor Google or anyone else, are capable of judging 'fake news'. One person's opinion is another person's fake news. The world just cannot work like that.
The current iteration of Falcon 9 is designed for very cold propellants.
If the rocket sits on the pad too long the propellants warm up from the environment and expand, which necessitates venting them out so the tanks are not overpressured.
Then they need to get themselves better rocket technology and a better motor. Unfortunately this is corner cutting so they can get the rocket to do what it is barely on the edge of being able to do anyway.
That's not really fair. Of the set of things that can result in a rocket explosion "putting the explosive parts into the rocket" has to rate pretty highly.
Not fair, it's lunacy. There's decades worth of accumulated experience of what parts of handling a rocket are dangerous and what shouldn't be done.
If you can choose between fueling the rocket before the payload is aboard and fueling it after the payload is aboard, than all else being equal after is the obvious choice as that preserves the payload in the event of a fueling accident leading to loss of the rocket.
I think you mean before, but yer, pretty obvious. To most people it should be anyway.
With SpaceX's advanced high speed sensor suite they can react faster to problems, unlike those luddite NASA people. This means mistakes can be corrected immediately by the advanced SpaceX technology and the system shut down before any issues. Plus, they are going to add some cameras so they have video feeds of the snipers shooting at their rockets. What could possibly go wrong?
Until halfway through the first sentence I thought you were serious....... Yer, let's dispense with over fifty years of rocketry experience - a highly unstable vehicle to be getting into space in the first place.
The F-22 clears the skies of everything that flies. There isn't another jet even on the drawing board that competes with it in the air...
A lot of people get seriously deluded with the F-22 hype and Lockheed's marketing material.
1. The F-22 hasn't been proven anywhere for anything. To describe it as the above is very wishful thinking.
2. Even if it proved to be the greatest plane ever there isn't enough of them to make any difference whatsoever.
3. The ones that they do have can't be kept in the air long enough to do anything.
Which is why a lot of people have two jobs, and two jobs is almost becoming a requirement. That certainly doesn't mean better productivity, and when you consider the US has the dollar, which is the world's reserve currency, a future where that is no longer the case is pretty alarming.
Alas, no. Earth's general temperatures are dictated via a variety of sources, and methane is also a very insulating gas that no one really talks about. The amount of naturally occurring CO2 has risen markedly since 1990, not because it has increased, but because it is woefully underestimated. But hey, CO2 levels, right? The Sun's activity also has a massive effect on the Earths climate, but we'll not talk about that either.
That rather depends on what temperature readings you choose to use in the last 100 years;-). But, everyone loves a graph that goes up at the end, whatever that might happen to mean.
Nope. You'd expect to have waited an awful lot longer for two fatalities to occur regardless. The lack of data owing to the short period of time actually doesn't help your case here.
Statistics is such a great game and you get a lot of numpties acting like it's some kind of science.

You were lucky to have medical leave and for your employer to give you time off.
You tend to find it's the tip of the iceberg when you have extremely bad reviews. Most people don't post to such boards.

Pretty much every piece of enterprise and business software written, certainly on the server side, for almost the past twenty years.
It's the article that says nothing about productivity I'm afraid.......

Hey, they need to generate actual revenue and find a purpose to their existence somehow!
I'm sure that blah, blah, blah is the phrase they use in SpaceX's boardroom to describe their problems.
Alas, no. Earth's general temperatures are dictated via a variety of sources, and methane is also a very insulating gas that no one really talks about.
