In SV I have yet to run into a tech company that drug tests.

It once came up in a higher up meeting at a company I worked at and someone snickered and said “never gonna happen. I would lose a bunch of my top performers.”

(I am sure there are companies that test but it is the exception here.)

That’s strangely specific....

Hmmm

Putting product in charge of engineering instead of making is a partnership.

Then not holding product accountable for an inspired roadmap that is delivered 2 months into the half.

My team is working way below peak efficiency for 4 months a year as a result. The engineers are super unhappy about this but there is "nothing to be done" according to my boss and his bosses boss.

Lol. Actually, they are the kind of questions us really sr people ask to ensure people are willing to actually do work.

Anyone who brushes off a question stating that it's beneath them is going to get walked right out of the building by my team.

Honestly. If the author can't make it in SV due to having a rough ride they should look outside the area.

There are plenty of companies needing IT workers across the USA and moving to one of them sounds like a good way for him to get back on his feet.

That's not at all true. You would be charged for exactly one hour.

Instance hours are just rounded up.
