Just last week, we received notification that IBM is rolling out a "program" to upper-level employees with decades of experience. The idea is that we would work reduced hours for the next year at full pay, and then leave IBM after a year (next March, I believe.)
Of course, this is for US employees only. I think we can be sure that the replacements for these employees (if there are any) won't be in the US.
You didn't "cut cable" if you didn't have it in the first place; the number they're citing is a percentage of total households without cable, not the number of total households that had cable and got rid of it.
First they came for Boeing, and I didn't say anything because I wasn't all fucked up.
Got to be pretty unconventional to count as unconventional in QM.
Being a hippie never goes out of style.
The actual comedy gold, is trying to watch everyone else pretend they can do what he does.
Not everyone has enough money to do groundbreaking things like put a car in orbit.
I saw it when it came out, and thought it sucked donkey doodles.

I've been asked to create reports that add pounds + gallons, and it's almost impossible to get them to understand why that's nonsense.
Pshaw, that's super easy! 3 pounds plus 6 gallons equals 9.

People won't deploy apps that don't work
For some suitable definition of "work".
In my experience, business "analysts" don't know what the hell they want, let alone how to specify it.

But as the saying goes, there are no atheists in foxholes
Why not? People who think their god will protect them don't need foxholes. People in foxholes are putting their trust in the boring but well-established ability of a thick pile of dirt to stop bullets.
how is that not also fraud?
I've been wondering what the authorities would do if I started selling updated accommodations for the afterlife. Want an extra garage or bath? Something closer to the golden throne, or further from all that off-key singing? Or most popular of all, something farther from those people.
Pay now and get it later, of course.
That being said, this feels like a worse sort of bad because a person in a position of power/trust is abusing that position. A pastor bilking his flock smells like a firefighter committing arson to me.
At least he wasn't puttering the choir boys.
