And, depending on which direction you are looking at the sculpture, the story changes. Park gives a new breath to traditional sculpture and presents a rhythm to modern sculpture. Rather than locking the meaning inside the stainless structure, he places humor.
He induces tactility through the panorama on the outside and allows eye contact with the viewer from the other side of the gap. The part left the possibility for a joyful sculpture open. A work of art to Park, Chan-Gul is conversations between two parties beyond the space of great meaning. Additionally, Park, Chan-Gul is the messenger who tells abundant stories about modern sculpture to the viewers. Even if I got the promotion, what then?
Popular wisdom said that each promotion was exponentially harder than the last. But that just meant the project could fail due to even more factors outside my control, wasting months or years of my life. Emphasis on small. I had always been interested in starting my own software company, but I only knew of the Silicon Valley startup path. I thought being a software founder meant spending most of my time fundraising and the rest of it worrying about how to attract my next million users.
Indie Hackers presented an attractive alternative. Most members built their businesses with their own savings or as side projects to their full-time jobs. There were downsides, of course. Their income was less steady, and they faced more numerous catastrophic risks. Founders on Indie Hackers captivated me because they were in control.
Whether their business became a runaway success or stagnated for years, they were calling the shots. I still had unfinished business at Google. After investing three years into my promotion, I hated the idea of leaving with nothing to show for it. There were only a few months left until I could reapply for promotion, so I decided to give it one last shot.
Actually, my whole team was canceled. This was a common enough occurrence at Google that there was a euphemism for it: a defrag. My teammates and I all had to start over in different areas of the company. I applied for the promotion anyway.
Weeks later, my manager read me the results. The promotion committee noted that in the past six months, I clearly demonstrated senior-level work. These were, uncoincidentally, the months when I was optimizing for promotion. My manager told me I had a strong chance at promotion if I did the same quality work for another six months.
When I tell people I left Google, they assume I must have some brilliant startup idea. Structural body, printed substrate, antenna, transmission line waveguide converter, array antenna, and electronic device. WOA1 en. Pixelized frequency selective surfaces for reconfigurable artificial magnetically conducting ground planes. Metamaterials for controlling and guiding electromagnetic radiation and applications therefor. Synthesis of metamaterial ferrites for RF applications using electromagnetic bandgap structures.
Ashwin K. Rogers Sr. On Microwave Theory and Techniques, vol. Digest, vol. George V. WOA1 ja. And so the journalists were offered buyouts.
And generous ones, by the standards of American journalism: five months of severance pay, and six months of healthcare. But to many of the journalists, the news came as a surprise. Employees had gotten mixed messages about which metrics they should use to evaluate their own performance.
Paid conversions? Something else? Often they were told not to think about any of it. Just do your jobs , they were told, and everything will be fine. Medium is far from the only company to tell its journalists to ignore the traffic generated by their stories while managers monitor it obsessively in the background. But it created an environment in which reporters were confused about how they, or their publications, would ultimately be judged — leaving them vulnerable to being blindsided when the end finally came.
Few startups have an easy path to success, and media in particular is a notoriously difficult business. Just today, digital culture publication MEL laid off its entire staff.
Some staffers told me they appreciated the opportunity Williams had given them during a turbulent time, and said he had granted them impressive creative freedom and significant financial resources with which to do their journalism.
Williams was prone to change his mind often, seemingly on a whim, they said, making software development difficult. The product roadmap over the years looks like a series of blind alleys: in , a take on Snapchat stories ; last June, a refreshed newsletter platform ; in January, an acquisition of an e-book publisher.
A skeleton crew of editors will likely be kept on to promote user-generated posts to the relevant sites; what once had been publications are now likely better thought of as topic pages.
