YouTube disallowing adblockers, Reddit charging for API usage, Twitter blocking non-registered users. These events happen almost at the same time. Is this one of the effects of the tech bubble burst?

    This sounds too stupid to be real but I was working for one of the largest corporations in the world during this period and we were congratulated on 20% growth even though we did nothing. Of course we didn’t get an extra bonus or anything but they acted like we had an incredible year when we really just had an average year with a massive tax cut.

    Then the next year, our goal was to grow at 20% again and when we missed it by 17%, no one got a bonus or raise.

    This timeline is the stupid one.

      This is what irritates me. You still made money just not as much as you wanted or hoped so your company punishes you. You can’t have infinite growth

      Most companies really are that retarded because everyone wants to look good and take credit for every great thing happening. People like that should not be in charge of anything.
