Yes, but I’m saying the algorithm for layoffs factors in “performance”, which can be factored from past bonus allocations.
The algorithm isn’t going to lay off 150’s, but might preferentially select 100’s.
I don’t have inside info, I’m just making assumptions that the data has to come from somewhere.
Sort of. Managers still get in a room and decide how the bonus pool should be distributed by ranking people.
Having a more aggressive manager is important for getting a better bonus.
I could see this factoring into layoff decisions.
Does this mean the other products they ship aren’t hit with tariffs? Are they somehow wholly made in the US vs the ones that were dropped?
Edit: found my own answer:
“We priced our laptops when tariffs on imports from Taiwan were 0%. At a 10% tariff, we would have to sell the lowest-end SKUs at a loss.”
Boobs
Or something like that.
I was going to say this is good for Canada, but part of the draw to bring engineers here is the path to the H1B. If there is no H1B end-game, maybe they won’t bring them to Canada either.
That said, we have some sizeable offices already established here, so maybe there is still incentive.

Yes the fossil fuel industry loved to point this one out. “Hahaha! We’re so dirty even your clean tech can’t be clean!”
Aww, I don’t feel special anymore.
Get Brianthompson’d, Reddit.
But no, I’d laugh at them because of how absurd it would be.
We don’t have that luxury.
I mean my home is also the evil empire pillaging the rest of the world
So maybe don’t tell us we’re weird about our own nationalism/patriotism when said evil pillaging empire threatens to pillage us?
That’s why agile was created. Because people don’t know what they want in panel 1.
Yeah, it requires replacing the “you test the rocket” with “you test the rocket and it fails or doesn’t meet the updated mission specifications” and the “you go to mars” with “you want to go to mars”
Bah, I was there. .jif was barely used and came 5 years after. They should have used a different name!
Gagascript. One is soft, one is hard.
It doesn’t matter what it stands for. That’s not how acronyms work.
You don’t say “yolwa” for “YOLO”
You don’t say “Ah-ih-dees” for “AIDS”
You don’t say “britches” for “BRICS”
You don’t say “sue-knee” for “CUNY” (City University of New York)
Etc.
And if you want to argue specifically about G:
You don’t say “Jad” for “GAD” (generalized anxiety disorder)
You don’t say “joes” for “GOES” (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite)
It’s not a hill I’m going to die on, I use both pronunciations, but the only argument I’ve ever believed for the proper one is that the creator pronounced it “jif”. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIF#Pronunciation
Now let’s talk about “gibs” you heathens.
GIF like Geoffrey the giraffe, if you get my gist. Always has been.
I haven’t heard of this. I make my personal websites from scratch in html and css using notepad++. I should probably modernize…
Not git, Perforce, but I used to have a guy on my team that would do weeks of work without checking in. 1000s of lines in 10s of files.
I gave him shit for every code review, every time we had 1-on-1s, and while he was doing his tasks. Nothing got through to him.
So I just kept dragging him back on check-ins. I’d nitpick the shit out of every line (and normally I hated that.) His stuff would inevitably break the build or be full of bugs anyway (duh) so I never felt bad that I was holding back his career since he was never getting things done “on time.”
If you can’t/won’t break your work down into smaller chunks you aren’t a skilled programmer and/or don’t have respect for the people you work with who have to review your shit.
