We did a year of unlimited time off. I took 2x1-week and 1x2 week and a few days here and there.

At the end of the year they announced no time off except Christmas and Thanksgiving days during Nov thru Jan and you can't take more than a week off at the time.

They couple this with a company wide raise but if they don't change the policy after the moratorium ends in January I think I'd rather earn less and have more time off.

Having lived and worked in both the UK and US, yes I pay roughly 4% less "tax" in the US.

but, as I didn't have to pay for Healthcare, and my student loans payments were a percentage of my earnings — vs the amount I've had to pay for Healthcare, copay, scripts, etc here. If we actually compare like for like and assume that Healthcare payments are only not called a tax out of a semantic convention for political reasons despite being practically a tax by nearly any definition - I've pay way more in """"tax"""" in the US.

Assuming the average person earns roughly $65k, would you pay an extra $200 for 100% fully covered, fully comprehensive, $0 co-pay, you walk in (to your nearest hospital, no need to check if they're in network) get an x-ray, a blood test, your appendix removed, stay over night, go back the next day for kidney dialysis or chemotherapy and pay nothing more than that monthly extra $200/rate in perpetuity? Especially as the average cost is $456 (+ co pay) for Healthcare and that usually isn't a "good" let alone the "best" package.

SFDC itself is written in Java but uses Javascript-esque APEX for whitelabel development?

I imagine everyone in the space except elon is thinking about the positive benefits and Elon is thinking about a giant spinning dollar sign while Baby Elephant Walk plays on repeat.

I mean some road had to be near Stonehenge. Just like theres a nearest road to the Pyramids or the Eiffle Tower or the grand canyon.

I long to end the age of capitsquidism and return to a ancephalo-communist way of living
