Anecdote: My girlfriend, a recruiter, says she's seen more recruiters being hired.
This is a good sign for the whole industry at large, considering how bad the tech job market has been for the last two years.
The sooner we stop treating founders and CEOs like infallible job creators and start pushing back on all the RTO, the better.
Very frustrating as someone who doesn’t really want to be a manager. Feels gross to say, but this field (and beyond?) needs to be better at recognizing who can/can’t be trusted with remote work. Not sure what the answer is though, because I sure as hell don’t want more egregious surveillance and/or a more PIP-happy employer.
And the situation you’re describing can also happen on-site. I’m in that situation now, where I (a very senior IC, by choice) am expected to both deliver the “IC” stuff, and supervise 3 other people because their manager can’t tell a softmax from a hole in the ground.
* Opening the app on my phone while music is playing on my desktop causes it to start playing on my phone automatically at max volume.
* Closing the lid of my laptop when music is playing on my phone causes my phone to pause the music. (Here's a tip: I'm closing my laptop because I'm leaving, therefore I want to use my phone.)
* Having a weak internet connection causes the album page to take forever to load. (This is for albums that I've downloaded.)
* Gaining/loosing internet connection while scrolling causes the scroll view to jump to the top.
* Every time I reopen it I have to click on the album view.
1.) I don't like that I can only see the top 10 for an artist. I'd like to see beyond the top 10 please. Unless I'm mistaken, there isn't a way to go to the artist's discography and sort by listens.
2.) I don't like that you can only see stats about what you listened to in a particular year if you happened to save or view that weird reflection end of year thing they do. It would be nice to just be able to see a playlist of your songs for the year, and would be cool to see # listens for year and total listens.
3.) It very frequently doesn't show me my top listened to podcast(s). Despite following them, I have to search for them every time.
