  • First line of defense: blocking out sunlight in all windows during the day

    Second line of defense: highly active drafting, creating a cross-breeze when the outdoor temperature is lower than the indoor temperature

    Third line of defense: Fan, reduces perceived temperature significantly

    Fourth line of defense: Acclimatization, warm showers before bed (supposedly helps)

    Fifth line of defense, in case everything else fails - basically a heatwave: portable AC









  • Evenly weighted vesting schedule: Your grant vests the same amount every month for every year of the duration of the grant. For example, 1/48th of the grant vests over 4 years.

    Back-weighted grant: Your grant vests less or not at all for the early period of the grant, and then a majority in the later part of the grant. For example: Year 1 10%, Year 2 20%, Year 3 30%, Year 4 40%.

    Why it’s fucked up: The company is incentivized to abuse your labour early in your employment and then push you out before the majority of your compensation package kicks in.

    Equity is already enough of a pair of golden handcuffs as it is, there’s no need to make them worse from this perspective.
