Why do people get so upset over how the company is doing?
It's just a job for you. Unless you are a major shareholder, you shouldn't care. You show up, do your work, and get paid for it at the end of the month. That's it. As simple as that. Outside of layoffs, you really shouldn't worry about what the top... — read more

Re: RTO
