Why do you assume that the fully engaged employee would be laid off at all?

You're telling me none of the 730,000 people laid off over the last four years were fully engaged employees?

If nobody is failing, nobody is learning

Then I guess you think MIT students don't learn in their first year? And havent learned in over two decades during that first year. I guess we should stop valuing MIT education as the peak of STEM education in the world!

Have you been to a public university recently? Its abysmal.

K, but that is not the discussion point.

University of Michigan is public. And it's a great school, but the bar for admission isn't like MIT.

Once you cross a certain threshold, it's luck of the draw if you're selected. Clearly the entire thing is broken.

> Once you cross a certain threshold, it's luck of the draw if you're selected.

For most schools, it’s the opposite.

For folks qualified to get in, they will be selected. For folks at the marginal threshold, it’s luck of the draw.

I agree with your sentiment, but for opposite reason. We need to scale down the number of people at R1 schools and develop a more robust system of technical and trade schools (imho).

The spreadsheet types have taken over the universities from the professors (it started decades ago), so I don’t think that this change will happen unless and until the current system implodes.

There are millions of happy, good people in America. Grass is always greener. You see novelty when you travel.

really the only value is for runners/cyclists/swimmers. Being able to run without a bulky device is sooo much better.

I used to run a lot and used a GPS watch to plot my runs .. initially, but this got boring fast. I don't want to compare myself with other runners. I just want a distraction free half an hour and thus no phone or watch. :)

I don't care about comparison. I just need to know how far I ran or it doesn't count lol

Not because of some inherent value in the network... but because the President is literally changing market policies and announcing it there.

So don't regurgitate it without checking. You're putting the onus on the person you're talking with
