It's not so much the cost of construction as the cost of real estate -- it's hard to build an office as small as single desks or (yuck) bench-style side by side seating. Offices have tighter constraints on egress/ingress than rows of desks so you can't use space as efficiently.

Plus, offices/cubes are not flexible at all -- when you start to outgrow your building full of offices (or even cubes), you can't easily squeeze desks together to make room while you seek additional space.

We have some small "phone rooms" that are about as small as you can build an office, and they are super cramped and uncomfortable, I wouldn't want to spend a full work-day in one.
My experiences at the Portland, Oregon Pioneer Place store are similar to GP. Come in the door, talk to an employee (sometimes there is a line, sometimes not), get shepherded over to another line and wait for a lot longer to see another employee, and then either wait a long time to get what you came for, if it's that easy, or they sit you down somewhere to wait until someone can really deal with you.

I don't go unless I have at least an hour of spare time and whatever I need can only reasonably be accomplished at the Apple Store. The place is a zoo, even if you're just browsing it's elbow to elbow.

The employees are nice, but I am aghast every time I go at how poor of an experience it is compared to what I think Apple should be capable of. Luckily when they do finally get to me, I've always had the issue solved (usually a new device) but up until that final encounter I just feel like a number. The fact that I have to stand on a concrete floor the entire time makes me double grumpy because my old-man feet do not like it one bit.
I had the same issue, sent an email to support and they moved us to a different node/cluster/whatever immediately. I’ve never had another problem on a free or paid tier.

I think you're asking a genuine question so I'll give a genuine answer - because people do not control their names, just as they don't control their physical features or ethnic history. The names that are "easy" are typically names that stem from the English language.

Just as saying you feel "uncomfortable" around a person of color or someone wearing religious headgear is a microaggression, so is making fun of someone's name because you find it difficult to pronounce. It is likely easy to pronounce in that person's culture, just not for you. And they've probably heard a million jokes about it so are unlikely to find it funny. Therefore your "joke" provides humor to you and others who feel like you, at that person's expense.

Yes, you can legally change your name but it takes a lot of time and effort and could cause you a lot of grief with your family and professional confusion.

You can 'dial in' without a webcam. We do it all the time at my job, which went fully remote six months ago. Half the people in our various Webex meetings use their phones to dial in, even.

My boss originally wanted people to use their webcam when joining those meetings when we first went fully remote. That initiative lasted about two weeks before no one did it anymore, including him.

I just wear a headset, and half the time I can leave it on mute anyway (especially if the puppy decides now is the time to chew on her squeakiest toy, or bark at some people running down the path beyond our back yard).
Amazon admitting this is a business risk to shareholders is a great start but what I really want to see is a commitment to solving this problem. I can't help but be a bit pessimistic here and think that Amazon will do the bare minimum to protect their business.

I was talking with a friend about Amazon the other day and anecdata is the customer experience is on the decline. Bad experiences with counterfeit products just compounds this problem.

I've always thought the sales experience was kinda crappy. I look around, decide I want to buy something, and then I hunt down an employee. Usually they're chatting with someone else so I wait until I can get their attention. Then, as long as it's just an accessory, I can buy it from them and leave. But if it's an iPhone, there's a whole process. I once managed to talk my way out of the store with a shrinkwrapped phone by insisting I actually was totally competent to set it up myself, but I almost had to beg.

I would find it a lot easier if they segregated the sales associates into two distinct group. One spot if all you want to do is buy and run, and another if you want the interactive experience. Then again, I'm a self-checkout kinda guy and I'd be even happier with some version of that.

It depends on what is your standard you want to accept, and where you live. The 'basic quality of life' means different things to different people.

For example, 12k rental can be extravagant. At this amount probably you can have a whole private apartment, with an actual bedroom (not a studio). But room rentals should be cheaper. Look what student rentals ask for, or friendly professionals that need roommates. These could be way below $500/month, even in new york. Alternatively, do you have parents or siblings to live with and share the rental costs?

Similarly, clothing is tricky, but people do with less than 1k. Some might not buy anything in a year. Buy quality over quantity, things that last. Be vigilant at avoiding spills, cleaning them quickly, know how to patch clothes, and dye them. Look for coupons, discounts, clearance, outlets, friends that have employee discounts.

3k for transport and without a car? How expensive are the busses + bicycle maintenance in the area? Most expensive monthly passes around the world are around $150/month. Be it new york or singapore. Also, many places let you transfer from metro to buses and vice versa on same ticket! The big thing here is that one has to trade time and schedule ventures out. Know which buses/subways are when, and knowing how long are transfers. Trips that are 15minute in car can become 1hour slogs if not timed right.

6k for rainy day -- the rainy day money is meant not to be spent unless you have to. There is no need to budget for it being spent every year.

5k health insurance -- demand universal health care, or bet you won't get sick, or get a job that covers this?

---

In my earlier years I tried to do similar calculation and I got slightly below 10k for basics like roof over head and lack of malnutrition, and in my calculations found 20k to be comfortable enough to allow for independant living and icecream, and beer outing with friends once a month, a cinema twice a year. etc.

I've actively avoided learning and using my current employer's jargin/TLAs/etc. Every review I get high praise for communication, how well I work with teams of different skillsets/expertise. I can't help but believe that I'm considered a good communicator because I use "real" words to describe things instead of the made up nonsensical "official" terminology.
I think it’s more than embracing identity but also moving away from the bland greasy spoon cheap fare type and moving to more sophisticated and upscale variety.

It's my opinion that open-air office design fit depends on the person. Some people are too easily distracted, and some are "charged up" by social interaction. One-size-fits-all doesn't work.

Maybe slide-able walls could be a way to be able to focus when needed, but also interact heavily when needed. I haven't tried sliders myself. Any opinions on them?

The boss in the movie is average, not "toxic" as the article claims. While he is annoying, he's not loud or blatantly abusive. It's relatively subtle "abuse", and common behavior.

I've had much worse bosses, included a Trump-like boss who had one foot in marketing and one foot in tech. He was technically clueless, rash, ADHD, embellisher, media-savvy, forgetful, termination-happy, etc. Crazy days. (Even if you personally believe T is a great President, working for him may not be. Compare it to Steve Jobs: rough on employees although {arguably} he produced great results.)
Paying for employees, infrastructure, etc requires sustainable revenue, not profit.
I'd like to see more Chinese restaurants offering more authentic dishes. Sure most strip mall Chinese places need to have the American Chinese food staples because people expect it, but I think they might also have some success putting a few of the off-menu authentic Chinese dishes on the menu.
I think "better experiences" should include the value of siblings. There is always somebody to play with. You form a team against bullies. Being able to attend classes together or share dorm rooms is great. Even later in life, there will be family to share life with.

Depending on the food, you may have a false negative on your allergy test (this happened to me with dairy). You will also want to make sure you get tested for both IgG and IgE (tho there is a debate out there regarding whether that is necessary).

Unfortunately the Elimination Diet is the only way to prove it if the test isn't working. If you have a food you suspect, you can try cutting it out for a couple of weeks and then abruptly adding it back in and see how you feel.

If you are willing to spend the money, an endoscopy can provide some valuable clues. They can take a biopsy of any inflammation and can analyze it to look for clues about what is causing the problem.

Related to this, something that has bothered me about using an e-book reader, and having a 2 year old son, is that I don't have the books on display for him to "stumble upon".

For now he's too young to discover new books off the shelf and read them to himself, but I'm conscious of this limitation with e-books. They're all "locked up" on the device. I got into reading because The Hobbit was on my parent's bookshelf and the cover of the dragon caught my attention.

I've thought about it for a while now and my solution is to read new e-books on a reader, and if they meet my ambiguous criteria of being "shelf worthy" I'll buy physical copies and put them on the shelf, in the hopes that my son will find them.

The Hobbit is already on there.

The book that have an impact on me is “so good, that they can’t ignore you”.

I started reading this book after my startup failed. I was looking for a job and I have this mindset that I need to find this perfect job to fit my passion. So the job hunting took sometime.

Picking up this book helps me understand there is not much need for passion but more on the development of my talent and skills. It’s listed as a self-help book so some might dislike it.

However the book did shed a different light on me. I’m in my new role for about two years now and within this period I gotten a double promotion.

Do I love the work I do? Not really, it’s product ops mainly so people find you to fix “issues”. However it does improved my skills a lot especially in the area of managing cross functional teams .

I think this book is great for people going through career transition. And it changed the way I view passion.

Remote CTO here. We hardly ever use cam for calls and if we do it's 100% opt-in.

He disassembled, cut up, and consumed bicycles, shopping carts, televisions, and a Cessna 150,among other items. The Cessna 150 took roughly two years to be "eaten", from 1978 to 1980. He began eating unusual material as a teenager, at around 16 years of age,[4] and performed publicly beginning in 1966.[citation needed] Lotito had an eating disorder known as pica. Doctors determined that Lotito also had a thick lining in his stomach and intestines which allowed his consumption of sharp metal without suffering injury

Is the webcam a west coast thing? I work remotely for a NYC based company, and in the hundreds of meetings I've had both internally and with people from other companies, not once has someone turned on a webcam (or requested it).
The biggest one for me was Richard Wilhelm's translation (with annotations -- the annotations are really important) of the Tao Te Ching. Following that, the same translator's work on the I Ching. (Sorry for the potentially weird transliteration -- I never know what to do for Chinese!)

My own interpretation is that while we can say "I think therefore I am" you can't really prove anything else. The tao takes it some small step further: There exists you, but there also exists everything which isn't you (even if that's nothing). So, in other words the existence of A implies the existence of not-A, even if that's the empty set. Between A and not-A there is a boundary where you transition from A to not-A. In other words, by implying the existence of one thing, you imply the existence of 3 things, even if 2 of them are the empty set.

This turns out to be really handy. If you say "tall", it implies "short" (not-tall) and it even implies that there is a point between "tall" and "short" where it transitions from one to the other. This is actually a tautology, based on the definitions of the words, but it can be used as a base of reasoning. The classic example is that a cup can be empty or it can be full. A cup that is always empty is not useful, and neither is a cup that is always full (for the normal definition of "useful" when applied to a "cup"). It has to transition between empty and full for it to be "useful". Similarly, a spoke in a wheel is defined as much by the places where it isn't as it is by the place where it is. You can't have a spoke without a space and when you think about spokes, you should also think about the spaces between the spokes because they are just as important. Or if you don't want criminals, one easy way of accomplishing it is by getting rid of laws -- no laws, no criminals. More laws, more criminals. This is just reasoning based on the tautological definitions of words, but it can lead you to pretty interesting insights.

The I Ching is interesting because it documents 64 states that you could possibly be in. It then describes all the transitions between the states. There are consequences for moving from one state to another. The consequences are described in those transitions. It is surprisingly apropos! Though it was supposed to have been written by the Yellow Emperor thousands of years ago, in reality I think it's been tweaked over and over again for thousands of years and the 4096 different possible transitions have just been worked out by exhaustion.

Many people think of it as a fortune telling thing and you can roll dice (or draw straws) to pick a starting condition and the transitions, but my impression is that this was originally a study mechanism. In fact, it's not a book you can easily read through. Randomly selecting a starting condition and transitions allows you to study one thing at a time. I still haven't gotten through everything :-) Basically, I think of the I Ching as design patterns for life. I'm here. I want to go there. What is the best way to go about it and what are the likely consequences of those actions? Very useful.

Borrowing the phrase from motorcycling but it rings true with bicycling as well. Ride like you are invisible and every driver is drunk and out to kill you. Assuming the worst intentions from cars on the road teaches you to slow down and be prepared to stop or swerve to avoid a collision. Wet metal and bikes don't mix, motorcyclists are taught to pull in the clutch going over train tracks and man hole covers for this very reason.

I spent 12 months as "the glitch" myself. It was my first office job, in data entry, at a business office for Verizon. Me and two other people were hired as temps for a project that was just supposed to last three months.

Those three months pass, and my supervisor didn't hear anything about letting us go, and wanted to keep us as long as possible, so he just had us keep filling out our timesheets. 12 months after our job was supposed to have ended, someone finally realized it and he let us know he had to end our contract.

It was also a wake-up call that people that work in these offices can really struggle with working with proprietary enterprise systems. I was practically a star in the office because I could work around all the various bugs that some enterprise Java application had so we could order all the things we needed to for other business units (I had to do some seriously janky stuff to get it to work, like close and reopen windows at certain points to keep it from crashing, choose unintuitive options, interpret what weird and unexplained acronyms mean, etc).
