Robby Slaughter replied to Nicki Laycoax's discussion 'Netflix No Vacation Policy'

I think you made the right decision with the candidate. But wouldn't it be great to not have to make such decisions? That's really the point of the Netflix vacation policy. Nobody should have to keep track of how many days you have off. Nobody sh...

Netflix is a fascinating company because it is more obsessed with results than rules. Scott Booher of CIOpedia recently posted a thoughtful critique about the obsession with procedure at many companies. His surprising inspiration was an internal ...

Wearing Hats in Church

In the few minutes before the procession, I studied the worship space. Rows of pews flanked a long central aisle. Bold architectural lines culminated above a raised corner, forming a radiant starburst. Soon, a groom in a black suit and a bride in a white gown would appear and advance. Only the sea of heads in front of me seemed irregular. Each one was slightly obscured by a spiral of fabric: a kippah, or yarmulke.

Same But Different

A Jewish synagogue is unlike a Christian church in ways we fo… Continue

Freedom Killed the Video Stars

From my vantage point running a small business in Indiana, it’s impossible to avoid the tremendous array of “opportunities” for additional streams of income. Each is brazenly associated with an incredulous claim: healthy chocolate, superfood fruit juice, free jewelry or the existence of a subconscious blueprint in the millionaire mind. Given the number of programs and the persistence of their promoters, fairly evaluating each is a full-time job. That’s why I am taking on just one of these ventur… Continue

Before we discuss the sociocultural importance of the frumpy phenom, go and watch that video. Pay attention to the stagecraft of Britian’s Got T… Continue

Help

A few things to consider before joining Smaller Indiana:
1. Please use your real name (first and last) when you sign up, or we cannot open your account

2. Please do not use logos or commercial images for your profile photo

5. Please keep all comments civil and polite. It's OK to feel strongly about a subject, and it's OK to be critical of ideas, but please refrain from personal attacks of any kind.

If you witness or experience any issues, please contact admin@smallerindiana.com and we will look into the matter.

6. Smaller Indiana is supported by its members, and by corporate sponsors. If you're interested in learning more about sponsorship, please call Pat Coyle at 317 332 7878.
