I sound agree price isn’t always the best factor to determine a monopoly.
Walmart use to go into a town, sell everything cheap and drive everything else out of business.
It’s one of the many reason I hate Walmart.
Growing up we have a cool downtown area. It wasn’t big but had a bunch of small stores. They all closed within a year of Walmart.
I mean yes but in the case no.
Most customers are not demanding it.
No I decide. I plan around my work.
5-6 weeks? If you add what I take off I’m well over that. I’m around 20 holidays. 4 quarter days. Birthday. 3 weeks mandatory. I’m minimum 12 weeks a year.
Have no interest in hiring you. You don’t have the skills or work ethic to work where I work. Look how you’re arguing about something you have no knowledge about. That isn’t the type of person we’d hire.
Oh please, then you could just “decide” to take every other month off and nobody would care, you would get paid the same,etc , you can’t tell me that’s the case…
Maybe someone like you would do that but I enjoy working. If I don’t have my deliverables in then I would get terminated for performance. I take plenty of time off.
Right, so 3 weeks vacation and you can’t even decide when to take them. Sounds like a pretty shitty deal to me… No. those are in addition to as much vacation as you want.
It seems that way, yes, so what good does “unlimited vacation” do?
It allows me to take off as much as I want. With three weeks mandatory and twenty days for holidays, I take another 4 weeks off. How much more time does someone need?
What’s next, are you going to tell me that your company is like “a family”? No, it’s a job. We also have 9 months of paternity leave as well. My coworker was out most of the year spending time with his newborn.
I decide.
On average? 4-8 weeks.
If you had read my comment, you’d see we are forced to take a eeek in July, two weeks for the end of the year and 20 holidays.
I take very little time off. I feel like I’m already off most the time.
Pretty standard now days. The only limit is I have to get my work done and it can’t be more than 4 weeks at a time. Oddly it can’t be used if you’re sick. You have to use sick time for being sick. That’s only 12 weeks but that’s when disability would kick in.
The average American has 11 vacation days a year.

I have unlimited plus my birthday off, once a quarter we all take off, a week for 4th of July, two weeks for Christmas and new years plus twenty holidays.
This is pretty standard for any job I’ve had.

That isn’t what I said at all. It’s weird that you would come to that conclusion. What I clearly said is his change is just repeating what he was told to say. I don’t think his views changed, he is just repeating what people want to hear.
Old captain crunch is another one that turned out to be a weirdo
I would say it’s not a sincere change. It’s groupthink.
Well the skit keeps getting smaller and smaller
I had never heard that about him. That’s disappointing.
You could, but the OP is talking about the people who became filthy rich or at least notable. I don’t know if Tom ever made any real money. Almost all of the people listed used their corporate power to smash competition and dominate the market.
If anything, Stallman is the antithesis of most of these people.
Stallman is a notable figure in the industry but he was never the leader of a large tech company. That’s probably why he’s a decent guy
I think it’s easier to name the people who have been decent in tech. Woz seems like a decent guy.
Ted Waite all in all was decent. Not perfect but decent.
I mean…how much agency did she really have? Most likely none.
What I find odd is why wait so long? She is 99. Is this justice for anyone at this point? In the news, several people in their 90s were charged with crimes during WW2. It just seems oddly late, as you said, performative.
The level of subscriptions has become insane
This wasn’t to clients. This was to partners. Middlemen in the transaction process.
You can’t buy most software directly from the vendor. You have to buy through a partner. They pass the paperwork and add 10-20%. They do provide some services but their main function is to pass paper.
Could you imagine 10 dollars for fucking your month up and then when you use it. It’s canceled ?
Wal-Mart does a lot of things I don’t agree with. Their labor practices along with their sourcing and many other things make them the last place I will shop.
