  • at my old company I had a co-worker who was moderately competent if he tried but didn't seem to do so all that often.

    My boss had been dangling a promotion for me for a few months, and I'd put in some extra work during that time related to my co-worker who seemed to be unable to manage a development team for one of his projects.

    promotion time came and even though my manager was very aware that I was doing a significant portion of a co-worker's job, they offered the co-worker the promotion in order to keep them around since they had another job offer.

    I think I was gone in about 2 months? didn't take too long to line something better up.

  • we've got a foosball table in my office, and while it obviously wouldn't make the difference between staying and not if the pay wasn't already good and the job wasn't something I liked I do enjoy getting to play foosball.

    I'm at a pretty flat company though with a very laid back leadership. I've even had managers pull me out of a call in order to play foosball lol.

    whenever I decide to be in the office, I think I get in one to three games during the day? something like that.

  • yeah I mean I would consider myself left of most of the Democratic party but you can take a look at their weightings on the metrics they used and you can see why they got the answer they did even if we'd quibble about specific state placement.

    cost of doing business and business friendliness collectively makeup 20% of their weighting and cost of living and education only make up 7% total.

    seems like on a list that focuses on inclusivity that they would also focus on basic needs for families but for some reason they valued basic needs for businesses at 3x families.

    overall, I think in order to trust this list, I would need to lower focus on businesses and increase focus on things such as education and immigration. Texas would do poorly in both of those things but so would a lot of other states. I definitely believe it deserves a place on this list, but I don't think it would end up #1.

    they're methodology summary:

    • Workforce (400 points – 16%)
    • Infrastructure (390 points – 15.6%)
    • Economy (360 points – 14.4%)
    • Life, Health & Inclusion (350 points – 14%)
    • Cost of Doing Business (290 points – 11.6%)
    • Technology & Innovation (270 points – 10.8%)
    • Business Friendliness (215 points – 8.6%)
    • Education (125 points – 5%)
    • Access to Capital (50 points – 2%)
    • Cost of Living (50 points – 2%)
  • must have offended a Floridian?

    look I'm by no means saying Texas doesn't deserve a spot on this list, but saying that Texas banning gender affirming care is somehow not as bad as government sanctioned kidnapping of trans kids in Florida is what's delusional.
