Or you could give them a cash signing bonus enough that after a year with you they'll no longer feel economically precarious and just... own that they may be a bit flaky forever after.

I had really hoped to be hired in at Mozilla when I interned, since unlike many other companies, they paid a relativey decent wage then pay out cash rather than only give stock in "The Company" (then extort you over 2 to five years to break the internet and or the law, as your rent goes from an excessive 1500ish USD when I was last spending the summer in Frisco, to more like 4500 for a similar sized studio like I'd been looking into today.)

That combined with folks who know words like "schadenfreude" or "Neue Deutsche Härte" but not "cash for keys" or "duty to mitigate loss" can really grind the gears of folks who don't have the resources nor inclination to let neoliberals or worse "save face".

What do the Dallas suburbs have to do with this discussion?

Apparently “Frisco” never went out of style among the African American community in SF.

For God’s sake don’t say Frisco to anyone below 70.
