I was really surprised to hear this because I feel the exact opposite! I've worked mainly with project managers who ran all the ceremonies, held people accountable, dealt with planning and doling out tasks, handled stakeholders and generally protected the devs from distractions, and took real leadership and accountability in the project.
Whenever I've worked on a team where a developer is the team lead and has to do all that stuff on top of coding- or worse, it's just a free for all with no leader- , things in my experience go much worse, communication breaks down, and things slip through the cracks.
Tangentially, the company I worked for years ago used ZenPayroll/Gusto. Seemed fine enough with a nice design and definitely friendlier to the end user than the gray boxes in ADP.
I started a new job recently that also uses Gusto. They added a bunch of things like a Gusto wallet you can get paid into instead of your own bank account and another feature that basically looks like a payday loan. I guess it makes sense for them to expand their offerings of financial products since they're already involved with your money but it just made me feel disappointed.
Meanwhile, the overall results don't make it seem like the sky is falling
> For the quarter, Microsoft reported earnings per share (EPS) of $2.95 on revenue of $64.7 billion. Wall Street was anticipating EPS of $2.94 on revenue of $64.5 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
...not to mention furniture stores seem to keep no inventory, so you get it 6-8 weeks after you buy because that's how it takes them to build and ship your new couch
* Review not tagged as English, or neither Full-Time or Part-Time, and those are the default filters
* Default sort is "Most Recent" and the Featured Review at the top of reviews is always a positive hand chosen review
* "Found 515 out of over 530 reviews" - I suspect they maybe take those 15 other reviews into account for the rating average, but you just can't read them right now so technically not taken down
* Negative review stays in Pending state while being screened by Glassdoor for over a month, but the time it's approved, it's buried by newer reviews
Couldn't agree more, and the ironic thing about this phrase is that it's really more reminiscent of the pre-depression era of robber barons, price fixing, no workers rights, Panic of 18XX where companies really got too powerful and ran wild because there wasn't enough regulation yet
Yes- I've had the same experience... the same "Huh, that's weird" kind of unknowing response that I give my parents when their printer isn't working again
