Long story short, Salesforce offered to relocate employee to the US and then got fired and abandoned by the company. Since this employee is on a L1 visa, not a H1B, he can’t work until October and he is only 6 months away from receiving a green card. This is so F up. Edit: I am not the employee. #...Read more
As a company, your incentive is to squeeze out the most out of your employees. If an employee is super talented, you promote him and squeeze even more, until you saturate all his life energy and talent while making him work more. As a talented employee (assume for the sake of argument), shouldn’t m...Read more

Salesforce: 1. Leaders urging employees to take care of their health and family first, and saying that they understand if people cannot be as productive 2. $250 reimbursement to setup home office 3. You can take your desktop home 4. CEO said in all-hands, no layoffs it’s not our culture

Dish on the worst company cultures
Many young, single tech employees struggle to date, within and outside of the tech bubble. Employees are more satisfied with their lives when they are less lonely, which may lead to higher productivity, lower churn, and less demand for higher salaries.
