> Online, you can create a private Slack channel or even a separate off-Slack group for the in-crowd where you exclude others, and no one can see it.

Since you say politics reasons wholly because of this reason, it’s not like Slack is not available if you are not fully remote.

For my benefit, would you be willing to share your salary or range (and currency :)?
This is just bringing up the Nebraska center up to speed with the California and Vermont centers. This is done because Nebraska will restart processing H-1B application which it had not been. USCIS clarified there is no change in policy.

A few people lost all their emails on Gmail in 2006. https://techcrunch.com/2006/12/28/gmail-disaster-reports-of-...

There have been other Gmail outages in the past though. My two favorites are:

1. The multi-hour outage in 2009 http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/09/01/gmail.outage/index.html?e.... 2. And one where they had to restore data from magnetic tape backups https://gmail.googleblog.com/2011/02/gmail-back-soon-for-eve....

Of course, there are other email providers too and their own outages. But I like Gmail and that's what I follow.

Simply firing people that have committed a certain offense may not fix the underlying problem—only treat the symptom. But I agree that sexual harassers should be separated from the company.
