Away employees fired after complaining in secret Slack channel: Report - Business Insider
It's the stuff of nightmares for digital-first office workers: A group of employees form a private messaging channel and vent about their jobs. Their bosses find out about the channel and read the messages. The employees are disciplined, and some are subsequently fired.
That's exactly what happened to former employees of the luggage startup Away, according to a new investigation by The Verge , which cites 14 former employees who describe a "cutthroat culture" in the office.
The Secret to Writing Emails with Military Precision
In marketing, there’s a term called “segmenting." It means dividing customers into smaller groups based on characteristics such as age, income, personality traits or behavior. That way, you can tailor and optimize the content you later send them. Let’s say you’re a ticketing company.

The Secret of Donald Trump’s Success: BHC06 – Mother Jones
The Washington Post published a story yesterday about the undocumented workers employed by Donald Trump’s Bedminster golf club. But the real scoop comes halfway through:
Trump loved Tic Tacs. But not an arbitrary amount. He wanted, in his bedroom bureau at all times, two full containers of white Tic Tacs and one container that was half full. The same rule applied to the Bronx Colors-brand face makeup from Switzerland that Trump slathered on — two full containers, one half full — even if it meant the housekeepers had to regularly bring new shirts from the pro shop because of the rust-colored stains on the collars.
