The back-to-office backfire: Companies ending WFH perks lose out on top talent, who view flexible work as equivalent to an 8% raise

Reply in thread

Control is another thing. I can't tell you the amount of execs I've heard say "they're losing control of their company" or "I don't feel I have the same control over my people". It's crazy that they think that. What do they think the past 3 years have been when they've gotten record profits "oh, but our profits would be even better if we had people back in the office". Sadly no amount of data will override the entrepreneurial "it could always be more" what if that they throw out.

Slackware turns 30 today

Ah Slackware, the first time that I learned software could damage hardware. It has the option to also configure hsync on your CRT monitor, and if said monitor didn't correctly validate the range it would permanently fuck it up.

Reddit keeps your IP address for at least 4 months!

Got news for you. 4 months is on the short side. Any place that processes credit card or other transactional data will most likely keep it around 13 months if not longer. And yes you guys can quote "well actually it's not required", no, no it's not, but I've worked with enough companies to know they hoover and keep IP, user agent string ,etc for quite a while.
