Small US company wants to hire one German employee in Germany I have to second your statements. I have a German CEO and Swiss CTO, plus myself hold an EU passport. We constantly have discussions on regulations and doing business in EU. For one employee it is not worth it. "Lease" one from somebody else. |

Won't an operational manual incur many competitors? 99% of NDA border on useless. The only people who benefit from them are lawyers who charge you for them. Try enforcing your NDA in court and you will see what I mean. You will spend $$$ on lawyers and important half of it will be tossed out by the judge. |

Won't an operational manual incur many competitors? Having run operations in two software companies and now in the third one, I think calling a software business a creative business is... well... misguided. If the software company is run a creative business, you have bunch of developers acting like prima donas and creating pretty crappy code. Structure, discipline, data-based decisions, and result-based reward system is what makes a software company successful and sustainable (especially, if you don't have VC money to waste). |

What's the most efficient and cost-effective way to become PCI compliant? I don't know which processor you are using, but Authorize.net has a decent API and you can go further and keep all the info in their CIM app. |

How do you keep yourself and employees from goofing off? You pay employees to deliver value. Conning employees into staying longer in the office does not deliver more value, it burns them out. Do you know why dev offices with all those gimmicks need so many QAs? Anything over 40-50 hours per week is detrimental to quality of work. There is not a single one of those gimmicky things in our office and 1 dev with two contractors wrote a public beta of complex software in under 3 months. 100+ dev office I headed biz ops in had zero of that too and employees lasted 4+ years with us. Try that in the gimmicky tech industry! Office should be only for work. |
