Leading today we have some job and startup related stories. First, Mark Suster talks about survivors on Both Sides of the Table. Mark always gives us an interesting look into the mind of a VC. On Customer Experience Matters, they share some research showing that employees need to feel like they are contributing. For some people, this might sound like basic logic, but in the larger industry it is definitely not the norm. Down in the security section, there is an interesting post from Jonathan Porta. He talks about the Windows 10 defaults for privacy, and how wrong they are. Definitely review the privacy settings when you install.
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
