Managers constantly gaslighting, playing favorites, playing politics. There's talk about working with more urgency and speed, let's see how all of that plays out.
seems like Rippling doing crazily good on funding and growth. It reaches to 6.5b in series C. can it become another workday? #rippling

In other cities (Chicago for example) you can get that 5M home for 600k-1M and still feel part of the city. Cultural: Berke...Read more
