@HK-51 I don't understand why you'd let someone use their phone at all during a 10 minute standup meeting. If what someone says is so unimportant that someone else can just ignore it, they should simply not say that and move on with the standup faster. These aren't angsty teens you have working for you, they can put their dopamine boxes down for 10 minutes. Source: former angsty teen still addicted to his dopamine box.

What have you tried already? I don't see why a "Hey Alex, please stop texting during our standup." is an issue. After all, you're not just this person's manager - you're the one HIRING this person's manager. You should not need to justify such an obviously professional request.

To me, the worst thing here is that the manager heard someone say "Your employees didn't wake up in the middle of the night to help us!" and he didn't have your back. My manager used to describe his job as a profession "BS umbrella" where he shielded us from all the goings-on and politics so we could get work done. Find yourself a manager who will go to bat for you!!

@Tim the German legislature did provide exemptions for in-person meetings for Work Council to be conducted over video conference. It's not the same, but there is still precedent for taking reasonable measures to stop the spread of coronavirus by taking the digital. When coupled with the in-person handoff and documentation thereof, there is little doubt that it will be accepted in court if challenged.

I assume this person is already the highest paid person on the team, since you say he's the most productive. How much more productive is he than the second highest person on the team? And what is their ratio of the productivity? If he's pumping out 50 or 75% more productivity for only 20% more salary, well, can you blame him? Run the numbers on that and see how it plays out.

@CaptainEmacs I disagree - for whatever reason they didn't ask for this quarantine. Maybe it didn't occur to them. But the truth is this whole pandemic is rather inconvenient for both people and employers. This came up and has to be dealt with. If someone neglected to say this before, like, deal with it the same way you would if the person was in the hospital for that time. And if you're not prepared for that as an employer, well that's really on you, not the employee.

Assuming your professor has even an ounce of academic integrity, they will have no issues finding a reasonable accommodation especially considering the circumstances. Sometimes they're managed by TAs who couldn't give a hoot, but usually someone notices when top students do poorly and struggling students do spectacular, and even more so when it's brought to their attention ahead of time.

@ThoriumBR Because users suck at writing SQL queries, especially ones that don't slow down the database, and they really don't WANT to log into a SQL database - they want a point and click web app for convenience. It's really a matter of performance and preference.

"One of the most common vulnerabilities on web applications is SQL Injection, and you are giving a SQL console to your users." - What does this even mean? SQL injection is a problem of poorly coded web servers. If there was database level security in place, SQL injection becomes entirely a non-issue. This whole answer reaches the proper conclusion for entirely the wrong reasons.

@sgf It seems to answer it quite well in the first sentence of the second paragraph. The investigation was stalled or abandoned already. You can't stop something that is already stopped. In fact, it's surmised that the replacement official was more likely to reinstate the case than Shokin. Thus, Biden's actions were not game theory optimal if his objective was to protect his son's company.

@jpmc26 I'm forced to participate in a wealth driven society, so I do. Wealthy people fundamentally and deliberately exploit people who work for them by taking their surplus value simply because they happened to have wealth in the first place. Economic disparity hurts everyone across all borders. It is much more than you can contain in a SE comment, but the idea that one has "earned" 1,000 times another is simply unfathomable. Unfortunately, we put our kids in econ classes in school which are little more than capitalist propaganda, so they simply accept that's how things are supposed to be.

@jpmc26 Sure, I can see that. I just disagree that it should be put on a pedestal different than any other discretionary spending. There's money you're obligated to pay and money you're not obligated to pay. Inventing a third category, money you've arbitrarily obligated yourself to pay is highly unnecessary. Why isn't there an obligation to get yourself a hobby to meet people? Why not an obligation to take yourself to the spa to relax? Simply put, budgeting for giving literally ahead of your actual obligations is an antiquated relic of religion that we can safely dispense with.
