Interviewing went from something you had to get a job to a completely different skill and even a business.


I use Pluralsight but it just shocks me to hear that it has so many full-time employees in the first place.


Same. I don't know what they're all doing to be honest.


Pluralsight bought 12 different learning platforms 2-6 years ago. I have no idea how much consolidation they have done.

Wow. With that in mind, I'm inclined to believe their layoffs are more about taking advantage of the climate to appropriately downsize than they are about any new financial stress.


I joined a company that provided Pluralsight to technical staff, policy was that all technical staff had to complete some mandatory courses on there. Pluralsight used two Account Managers to put on a live webinar for myself and another lead in my division to introduce us to Pluralsight

The webinar wasn't especially useful, there were only 15 technical staff in our division and I still don't know why it wasn't just a pre-recorded video learning course on their video learning platform.


I've never seen or even heard of a computer-based corporate training course that wasn't an absolute joke. I don't think quality of material and instruction are any factor whatsoever in those purchasing decisions.


>>any factor whatsoever in those purchasing decisions

As someone that is involved in making those purchasing decisions, I disagree with that assessment


Do you speak for all people that make purchasing decisions - are you an industry guru? - or are you speaking just yourself?


The cheeze stands alone.


In Miami with LeBron and Wade they were called "The 3 Kings"

On a similar note, I like listening to the videos of this guy https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVp5RGNn_CpRKUyGaQVidHg

He has long drives, mostly around NY area.


Actually the driver rated Kalanick 1 star: > Later, the Uber driver app prompts him to rate Kalanick, as he does all his riders. Kamel gives him one star.


It wasn't a meaningful encounter.


Ah he did indeed, I misread that. In that case the driver almost certainly sold this story.


My bot already purchased all the tickets for his lawn in case you'd like to buy one.


Evidence of what? Are you under arrest or a suspect?
