Is it really debatable? The whole incident is laid out in front of us in chat. Are we going to start forbidding employees from making pop culture references? Can two adults no longer have a watercooler chat about a new album/movie/TV show because it has some offensive language or topics in it? (which they aren’t…

You supposedly have 50 pages of evidence, and this is what you pick as an example? Someone making a reference to a song.

Samsung makes vapes now?

I did not consider the exchange rate, simply because Apple (and most companies, actually) doesn’t seem to give a fuck about it.

Not only that, but there are actually some interesting apps once you get past the stickers and fancy animation, and I expect even more will come with time.

Japan does not have any laws with respect to the ratio of highest paid to lowest paid. Japanese executives are paid significantly less than elsewhere, but that is more cultural than anything. The gap is still approximately 67:1 (in 2012).

Switzerland put a proposal like that to a national vote (12 times the lowest paid employee). It was hyped like crazy in the American press as if Switzerland was changing the world. But in reality it was a moonshot and got defeated by a mile.

He, however, had a wife and three kids to support and had to think of them first.

While the culture at the bank is definitely the root issue that needs to be fixed, I have a hard time feeling sympathy for people like your roommate’s brother.
