CINDERELLA: I did.
STEPMOTHER: It looks like wild animals were in here!

Dear tech companies,

Employees don't need ping pong tables or beer fridges at work. 🙅‍♂️🙅‍♀️

Employees need flexibility to do their best work and enjoy life. For instance, working remotely. 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️

Please offer trust, not toys. 🙌

Easy things to ask on a first date that tell you whether a girl is worth deeper investment:

*Do you have a dog?
*Is he here?
*Can we go get him?
*Why not?
*Wait why not tho?

All can easily be woven into a first date conversation.

Doesn't surprise me that talent leaves banks

Hiring *more* developers shouldn't be the goal

Having good developers and empowering them is everything

In banks engineers are second class citizens and yet "digital" is supposedly a priority 🙄🤔

Reminder for "classical" management trying to retain talent:

- "Can I work remotely?"
- "No"
- "Can I work remotely?"
- "No"
- "Can I work remotely?"
- "No"
- "Can I work remotely?"
- "No"

Quits and works for another company... remotely.
