Same for me, moreover "cadres" tends to have a contract based on the number of days per year worked and not the hours per week
One could still go to archive.org There's quite a lot of snapshot. Indeed they are not interfering with Glassdoor per se.

> You communicate naturally, so I encourage you to find a job where you can talk with a lot of different people every day. That will also help expose you to more and different things.

I guess product-related (PO, PM), UX-related or business-developer/sales jobs, maybe for tech companies

A process I like to use and that might be helpful to you is what I call "Technical Initiatives".

The idea is to allow everyone to suggest and implement technical improvement by providing a process to do so. For each idea, the owner fills a spec to describe it. The main ideas are: - Be transparent on what we want to do and our issues, the doc should be public and comments-friendly - Follow an advice process by proactively asking people to improve or challenge the idea - Always have by a trial with time boundaries and goal

A template could look like this:

- Owner: Name

- Title: to easily speak about it

- Reviewers: people who should definitely have a look

- Summary

- Why: Describe what are the issues with the current process, the bugs or similar.

- What is the change

- How to implement the change

- Duration of the trial

- What should we've achieved at the end of the trial

In your situation, it might be something like:

- WAthrowaway

- Staging env

- Reviewers: Founder, Senior Eng #1...

- Setup a staging environment

- We encountered critical issue #1 on October 1st, issue #2 on October 2nd

- A staging environment would allow to catch this bugs before it is on production

- 1. Create a staging env 2. Create a staging branch 3. block push on master 4. PR staging / master

- 1 month

- Critical issues happen on staging and not on master

PS: It's inspired by http://www.reinventingorganizationswiki.com/Decision_Making

Apparently, they're planning on charging only for team features.

Quote > We plan on remaining entirely free for individual users and only charge for team features (we are still discussing what those could be). Hence it's only businesses that decide to use Station across an entire team that would eventually have to pay.

Any insight into what will be your business model?
@brailsafe, would you mind to explain a bit more why Vancouver is like this?

Ask HN: Example of successful exits for distributed team

One of my peer was arguing that exits (like acquisition mostly) is (almost) not possible for distributed technical team. Main argument being that the buyer would want to have the technical team at one place.. Do you have any counter arguments or examples of such acquisition?

Just try to hack someone messages and you'll know

I think that whatsapp retrieve your phone number thanks to your sim card or similar so I don't think that someone can hack your messages

Re:When Making Life Decisions... on Tuesday November 27, 2012 @07:41PM (#4840242)
I completely agree with you. You should understand them (because of their religious belief in your example) but not necessarily follow their advice
Re:When Making Life Decisions... on Tuesday November 27, 2012 @07:33PM (#4840207)
And also take a moment to pause and ask yourself why other people want that thing for you. You may be missing something.

Often people around you like parents or siblings only want to help you, I totally agree that theirs opinions is not necessarily the good ones but you should also try to understand them

Re:Why do you need a Smartphone? on Tuesday November 27, 2012 @06:50PM (#4840034)
You can also buy a chinese smartphone for less than 100$ and use only the free wifi near you.

(I am also biased by the fact that in France we have unlimited call, messages and data connection for 20€ ~ 25-30$ per month)
