Not sure what his jump did to help us "advance as a species"
I remember watching it live - it seemed like he wasn't going to jump - but he did and spun out of control for a while - and yea he landed.
Doing something silly to advertise an energy drink and almost die... did not help us "advance as a species" in my humble opinion
That being said - my condolences to any family or friend that might see this.

Comment How much does war contribute? (Score 1) 136
The amount of toxic clouds created by war is a metric I would like to know.
It surely is a major carbon dioxide contributor, but, it is also dumping a plethora of exotic materials into the atmosphere

Hi Maggie! I thought you were dead!
I agree - Unions are laden with corruption, but they are there to protect the people, not capitalism.
Fix them, don't throw them away.
Yes I just fed a troll, but how else will AI learn????

Well done standing up for yourself!! That couldn't have been easy.
For those who don't know - even if you survive a PIP - they can basically sack you right away after that - it is built into the PIP. Yup, they can say anything, and then sack you.

Even with EUR/UK rights, AFAIK you have to leave the company to pursue a tribunal, which means you have to have plenty of savings

Take the money and find a new job if you work for Microsoft USA
PIPs are always stacked against you. Management will move the goalposts or kill your project.
The thing that could blow up for Microsoft is, European employee rights are much stronger than the US, so they could be in for a bunch of tribunals.
