We had one folk working in Wayfair, he was a cheap folk didn't gave Party even after he got 300k bonus
Right, he should spend his money on parties for other people.
what? Did you folks got party this year? must be a cheap one, went to Costco food court?
I remember a deleted Blind post that there was one vertically scaled DB for all of Wayfair. I wonder if they ever moved away from that
I remember this one.
She is still proudly kicking around

This from a capital one employee , seriously??
Seriously, does he think that he is Elon Musk?
Isn’t Wayfair the one whose backend has one sole Kafka topic for everything?
Would explain why it took 3mo to get my couch
lol he can go f*** himself!!
If you are ready to pay super high compensation, your employees will work however as hard as you want. At companies like Meta, Netflix, Tiktok, Citadel etc employees happily work super hard because they know this is the maximum money the market can give them. The problem comes when you pay 60% of top-of-market and then expect people to work super hard, because your employees are not stupid - they know you are paying less but took the job anyway because of the unspoken expectation that it would be less work.
See: Capital One. A lot of people here take this job because they need a temporary stepping stone
If it's a stepping stone you need a lot of free time outside of work to prepare for your next step. If the workload is too high it's not a stepping stone, it's a dead end. My first employer was a stepping stone for me. I spent more time prepping for interviews than doing company work. If they asked me to work harder I would've just quit.
