The book that have an impact on me is “so good, that they can’t ignore you”.
I started reading this book after my startup failed. I was looking for a job and I have this mindset that I need to find this perfect job to fit my passion. So the job hunting took sometime.
Picking up this book helps me understand there is not much need for passion but more on the development of my talent and skills. It’s listed as a self-help book so some might dislike it.
However the book did shed a different light on me. I’m in my new role for about two years now and within this period I gotten a double promotion.
Do I love the work I do? Not really, it’s product ops mainly so people find you to fix “issues”. However it does improved my skills a lot especially in the area of managing cross functional teams .
I think this book is great for people going through career transition. And it changed the way I view passion.
My name is Bryan and I'm one of the co-founders of a local company Intraix. Our company has been selected to be one of the vendors and is involved in the HDB Smart Home Trials with a local Telco - M1. I am pretty sure I would be able to paint out perspectives from different spectrums of this conversation.
In term of data protection and ensuring security,
The agencies involved in the smart home trial did put in a lot of effort to ensure that all companies in the program complies to the [Personal Data Protection Act] (https://www.pdpc.gov.sg/legislation-and-guidelines/overview) with very stringent criteria to data handling passed down to all the vendors.
As a matter of fact, our system had to face penetration tests conducted by Ernst and Young, a big 4 Auditing Firm before we can even get past the initial gates of entrance. I’m not saying that these measures are perfect but I believe the agencies, especially the Infocomm Development Authority (IDA) is really serious about data privacy.
Hello there,
My name is Bryan, I run a small business in Singapore. Have been using Linode Cloud Services since 2013. In the last 4 months, I have gotten 6 emails regarding physical hardware issues from Linode. Each email it states the following:
Our administrators have detected an issue affecting the physical hardware your Linode resides on. We’re working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible and will update this ticket as soon as we have more information.
The frequency of the disruption is affect my business and the post above shares what exactly happens. I also have some questions in mind that I like to hear your views.
1. There are many independent business owners and startups founders here who are using Linode services too, are you having the facing the same problem with the physical hardware issues?
2. Am I wrong to ask for 2 months compensation? Although the might be "short" but it is frequent. I believe that having frequent disruption is worst than the time that it actually occurs
3. If 2 months is wrong, what is a good compensation to ask for? Or should I just change the vendor (I did not want to change because Linode used to give very good services) until now
