> In this post I felt that you held back what you are really trying to say to the extent that it rendered the piece meaningless. You just spilled 800 words worth of ink on the same vacuous platitudes you seem to accuse companies of.

For some things to make sense, you must have learned enough about the field. It may be that your understanding is lacking in the area, particular concepts/ideas/sources maybe unfamiliar to you. If you don't understand something, it is sufficient to say: "What did you mean by this sentence or paragraph?" I re-read the whole article again, and I don't see any major grammatical or syntactical or conceptual errors.

PS: If you want more details on sources & definitions of terms, and where I am coming from, there's a whole research-driven book here: https://turnoverbook.com/html/book.html I cite 80+ empirical (mostly longitudinal) sources, trying to make my points clear. It's free to read on the web.

Some specific paras of relevance here:

> One longitudinal study found that organizational commitment is a better predictor of whether some employees will stay or leave than job satisfaction. Hence, organizational commitment better predicts voluntary resignation (Hom, Katerberg, and Hulin 1979). Moreover, in most studies, the correlations between job satisfaction and turnover tend to be weak, rarely exceeding .40.

> Overall, organizational commitment has been significantly and consistently related to turnover.

Well there’s your mistake. If there is extra context the reader needs in order to be sufficiently relieved of their ignorance to fully appreciate your post perhaps you should consider adding it.

Any troubles with reading comprehension?

I’m guessing you are probably the author, so I will engage with you here in the outdated comments incase you look at them from time to time.

In this post I felt that you held back what you are really trying to say to the extent that it rendered the piece meaningless. You just spilled 800 words worth of ink on the same vacuous platitudes you seem to accuse companies of.

So I am curious what the real message here is. What change do you want?

Companies didn’t arrive at the culture of giving workers more perks, independence, respect, etc. for no reason. CEOs don’t wake up and think “You know we should be nicer”. No it was through competition. Companies spent recent years fighting for talent and talent could make choices so they chose companies that best fit their lifestyle, represented them, actualized them, and so on. We get paid very well so salary is not the chief concern, other things are.

Maybe as we enter more austere times we’ll see a shift. Certainly Elon’s behavior hasn’t gone unnoticed. But I think your advocacy for _whatever_ should be clarified so it can be properly critiqued.

That would lead to a more interesting article.

So is this post saying anything?

Is LTE and 5G performance degradation due to the wireless technology or is it somewhere upstream of that? Like what good is throwing more radio capacity at a stadium if it’s the backhaul, peering, or some other appliance in the middle that is getting overwhelmed?

This seems unsurprising.

Some people are legitimately ugly and their youth offers no benefits in this sense

If you're literally homeless in Finland you would die during winter season? Could that be a contributing factor to the "success"?

This is an article from a Toronto newspaper. Toronto gets just as cold as, if not colder than helsinki in the winter.

Does Finland have a problem with Mexican cartel meth and fentanyl being dumped by the truckloads into its communities?

To be clear, there are many types of homeless in the US. But the ones that get the most attention and seem to cause the most problems are those pushed into mental illness by drug use. And, yes, drug use does not always cause mental illness and many mentally ill are not on drugs, but as those of us with direct experience with meth and other 'hard' drug users can attest to, a meth habit is not conducive to mental wellness. There is an acute phase of reality detachment that gets better with cessation, but even then, the hard core meth addicts I've known have mental scars that linger indefinitely.

All I hear are excuses

Fantastic results! Check out how GDP per capita is trending in those areas. It has doubled in Palestine and Haiti over the last couple of decades, and is way up for many sub-Saharan African countries.

Funny that you'd pick those areas and not Asia, where a billion people were lifted out of absolute poverty in the last 30 years! Pure chance, I'm sure.

might be worth looking at the 200 years before that
