    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principle 80% of people in any given organization are interchangeable at best, or plain worthless. This was just as true before DEI as it was after. 99.9% of complaints about DEI are coming from mediocre white guys who are just mad that more...

    It's more about getting through the hiring filters. Before the big DEI push, companies were less willing to take risks or expend effort to go looking at top candidates outside of a very narrow profile. Better to just hire someone's kid, cousin, or friend, who just happened to be another...

    Microsoft went from a dying behemoth to reclaim the throne of the industry, and the NASDAQ, after swapping out Balmer for Nadella. So, there's at least one diversity hire that worked. Microsoft's huge growth came during the same period as their diversity push. One could say the same for much...

    Yeah, totally, because nobody has ever worked at a tech company or office job where 40% of the white dudes were pointless wastes of chairs. Incompetence is truly colorblind. Very similar books were written about GE, AT&T, and a bunch of banks. Some even became movies. There are definitely...

    You could say this about any tech company larger than like 250 people. As someone who works for a major Microsoft partner, I promise there's plenty of woefully underqualified white guys at Microsoft. 40-60% of people working any big company are just chair-fillers, barely good at one job. That...

    This game interests me not even slightly, but I wish these devs a very all the fucking money and I hope they break the games industry.

    What? CoD is the most profitable franchise in the world. WoW still prints money, mostly due to mounts. Also, King is part of that company, so all the Candy Crush games. ABK is an absolute juggernaut, despite being retarded. I think people are missing how many games and franchises are under...

    Okay, you missed my point. Like yes, they'll probably be able to eventually recover a large chunk of the money in the case of a wallet hack. But it will still be funny as fuck.

    I hope these people are paying attention to Palworld. While that game doesn't interest me, a ton of what they're doing could be combined with what Hello Games already does well.

    I claim to be a terrible multitasker and claim that basically all humans are terrible multitaskers. But people do vary at how fast they can switch between tasks and/or cognitive modes.

    My previous job matched 50% of your first 4% looooooooool. Luckily my current one is a lot better. It's 40% of your contributions, up to 10% of your annual comp (salary + commissions + bonuses.) So, when I contribute 20k they're putting in 8k.
