Just seems like everything is "this company did this to their employees" and less about "this novel messaging protocol offers these measured pros and cons." Or similar

And yes, I could post things, but I'm referring to what hits the top, 12h.

Can anyone rec communities with less of a biz and politics and wfh vs in-office vibe?

one of my warm up questions is to ask where they get their news and stay current.

How important is this to you? If they say they don't make an effort to keep up with tech news, is that a red flag? Is your company/product really so much on the cutting edge that you need the team to be keeping up with the latest tech news.

Doesn't seem very important to me, but it's one of the first questions you ask.

its a warm up question, its not a requirement, getting to know you.

But, someone in industry who doesn't make an effort to stay up to date in the industry, somehow, would raise an eyebrow... FWIW nobody has ever not had a answer to that question.
