Glixel is a gamer site, so, clearly this move is about journalism ethics...

You act like you have a say. You don’t. What you have is a choice; you can work for such a company, or you will not. Employees aren’t “family”, they’re budgetary line items. Rare is the company that does more than de minimis when it winds down or sells itself. Rarer still is the company that will spend more than a…

I think the punchability of his face is a big part of what’s driving the reaction here. That, and the fact that everyone knows he’s a nepotism hire who is most likely has no real knowledge or expertise in what he’s doing.

There’s a way to do this like a person. You give the news to your managers, and direct them to meet with their teams to give the news in person by a certain day and time. You make sure you answer all the questions your managers ask, which are the questions they are going to get asked by their team members. Shitty news…

He’s wrong about everything. And each day he and the rest of his party do further harm to the country and the world, and they do not care.

I read today that the 8 richest people in the world have more wealth than the bottom 50% of the entire planet. In rich people math:

Well then that is your mistake. I live in the “reality based” world as well. And have worked for a number of corporations that have sent out similar missives. I understand that is the reality, but that doesn’t mean I need to accept it. To do so just gives corporations, and their executives, the excuse to keep treating…

Where I live, in the reality-based world, we’ve learned to stop asking for the normative. Modern commerce simply isn’t interested in the personal circumstances of employees; they are fungible. This increasingly true as younger people move into high-level management, at least in my experience.

Meh. The bigger issue they ignore is that government shouldn’t run like a business. They have fundamentally different goals, at least in a state which doesn’t simply exist to benefit a small number of people at the top.

If you have worked at a medium or large company for more than 6 minutes, you learn you can’t waste energy getting upset everytime senior leadership tries to frame a decision that can harm employees in a positive way.

I dunno, he looks like he could use some more sleep. Maybe he needs to replace his old, flattened-out pile of money with one with a bit more spring to it?

+1 great responsibility

His robot butler confirmed he’s doing okay.

He’s at like 95% on the Shkreli Index of Punchable Faces.

Anyone who is appalled by the tone of this email is adorably inexperienced when it comes to receiving emails from the executive leadership down to middle management and below. The genre is always self-congratulatory and filled with ‘team wins’ that mean nothing to the recipients, but the execs feel like ‘sharing the…

Has this Wenner kid been bitten by a radioactive Sean Spicer?

This is why I hate the idea of running the government like a business. Businesses only care about what’s best for those of us who will remain (and own shares). The US couldn’t just unload an underperforming state to another nation. The US can’t ‘downsize’.

But the rich guy is alright, right? He’ll be okay? Please god, tell us he’ll pull through this.

So basically “we’re sorry your job’s going away, but on the bright side I’ll have more money”?

VP Robert Terwilliger. Has a nice ring to it.
