Thought this was interesting. Across 160 teams of researchers, just about all failed to make good life outcome predictions on things like GPA, evictions, layoffs, and others. Data followed 4.5k families across 15 years, with 13k features (varied over time). Haven't looked at it directly yet, but will be turning the docs and data inside out... In the meantime, authors claim this as showing the limits of ML. Oh, and it's published in PNAS, so you know there's some big publication energy there.

Wanted to highlight Prudential Financial’s hiring practices. They rescinded my offer once I attempted to negotiate the salary. The official reason given was that I didn’t “sound excited enough”.
They then admittedly gave the offer to someone who was less qualified. There were other red flags throughout the job offer process that the HR team should overall be ashamed of.

Added costs for commute and work attire, etc. With that said, I’m in the office 2 days a week now and, as a mom (and a total introvert), I do enjoy a) the “wind-up/-down” commute time for podcasts and whatever *I* want to listen to, b) the meaningful conversations and connections that spontaneously occur due to sharing a work space, and c) a change of scenery (despite having a home office setup that I love) and better delineation of work/personal time zones/spaces. Much to my surprise, I’m experiencing more pros than cons from returning to the office part-time. I’m thankful though that we have a hybrid approach, and I’m still at home more time than not. Are you returning full-time?
You make it sound great! Thanks for this perspective.
Potentially having to sit next to a coworker that hasn’t done any work in 2.5 years but still has a job, literally nothing to show for the last 2.5 years
Seriously. It was so obvious online and I’m sure they got a lot done on Netflix!
Having to wear pants, dealing with the commute / stress of driving, having less time with my kids / wife, knowing I can do my job completely remote for years and still have someone tell me being in the office is necessary at all — just to name a few.
My company is committed to being fully remote forever, so this is more related to the casual job browsing I do. I can’t really justify ever switching companies unless they pay me a handsome sum to step foot outside my home office.
The pants for sure! I live in Florida lol. Thanks for the feedback. Hope you get a huge lump sum!
Everything. Particularly dealing with jerks in the office.
I know what you mean. Thanks for the comment :)
Smokers terrify me and I only recently changed my LinkedIn profile to say I’m open to onsite work. Whether I’m 50 yards from someone walking into the building or sitting next to someone who just got back from a smoke break, cigarettes trigger migraines and working at home since 2017 was a significant factor in getting better. My former employer invited me to re apply for my former job but didn’t return my call and then I received a generic form letter saying the position was filled.
I guess there’s no way to protect myself from being screened out from being hired until I accept the offer, show up, get exposed, vomit and then request a workplace accommodation to be remote. I just want to work at home so I don’t have to be sick.
