I was just thinking that. He is probably a little older than me (and I am 58) I think he is braver than me though. Good on him for fighting back

Lots of experience with a few tech companies There is no good answer for now... If you hate your job then life is too short. BUT 1 or 2 single year year stints are easily explained. Lots of them and and average of 1 is less easily explained If its a definite pattern then it is a problem. A...

The older, expensive houses are also insulated like 5**t In fact 5**t would be a better insulator My house was built in the late 40s. Walls are double thickness but badly insulated So cold in winter We installed wood pellet fires which works well but expensive
