There are two types of managers. Low level managers who are just trying to take care of their team, and managers who are trying to climb the ladder.

The managers who are trying to climb the ladder are WORSE than nothing, because they will actively slow their employees down so they can hire more people below them. Ever have a useless meeting that could have been an email? Now you know why, a manager who is worse than nothing.

Comment It's a really light car (Score 3, Insightful) 59

From the article:

calling the Cybercab the “most efficient EV ever” is technically accurate, but it’s a bit like comparing a motorcycle’s fuel economy to a sedan’s. The Cybercab is a purpose-built, two-seat autonomous pod with no driver controls. No steering column, no pedal assembly — all of that weight and complexity is gone. Tesla designed a teardrop-shaped body that narrows significantly at the rear, optimized purely for aerodynamics rather than rear passenger comfort or cargo space.

Presumably it's aimed at being a Driverless Taxi, not a consumer car.

Comment LOL Exodus (Score 2) 59

The article contains this gem:

"Meanwhile, the program has been hit by a leadership exodus, with three senior leaders departing since February."

That's a good thing. If their top engineers were leaving, that would be a bad thing. When management leaves, the engineers become more efficient.

Embrace the Tao.

But when told this, the programmer once more refused, saying, "I exist so that I can program. If I were promoted, I would do nothing but waste everyone's time. Can I go now? I have a program that I am working on."

Anger is not power to make change, it's energy to get you moving.

For example, a boss might yell at his employees and think the anger was the power that got them working, but actually if the boss doesn't pay the employees, the anger is completely ignored. The money is the power, not the anger.

In spousal relationships it's even more damaging: the anger isn't the power to make change. The change happens because the partner actually cares about the other and wants her to not be angry. As soon as the partner stops caring, the anger is completely ignored (as shown in many videos of divorce proceedings).

Confusing anger and power is a problem.
