Anyone have an Echo device in their office? I really like having them at home but I’m not sure if I should have it at work.

Most firms probably don’t allow this due to security reasons. We aren’t even supposed to work in a room with one at home.

I asked about a Sonos awhile back for my office music and was told that all smart devices like this were prohibited in the office due to IT security concerns. We couldn’t even use them on our personal devices network.

I’ve had one in the office. Most people didn’t care. One partner thought it was weird and never came by again.

Hi, I'm an artist with 5 years of experience in the game developmentindustry.

After interview sessions, it comes to salary negotiation. To my surprise, the salary offer is below industry average, even more like junior-level salary.

Though my experience includes team leadership and I have described in detail how I could contribute to the company, the interviewer raised the offer, adding $300 only, still in junior salary range.

What does it really mean, and how do I win the negotiation?

TIA.

Everytime I work on the weekend I get into some sort of fight with my spouse. Anyone else get annoyed when their spouse constantly asks you when you’ll be done working, or asks how much longer you have to work. It annoys the hell out of me. I don’t want be working on a Sunday anymore than my spouse wants me to be working. But I have to. I don’t need reminded that I am disappointing my family in addition to working on the weekend. Am I alone in thinking this? Am I wrong to get so annoyed?

And to the people who do this... why?
