juliasilge Doubling as recruiters while reporting on lecturers who initiated a boycott? This is crazy! Is this a business media thing?

And the guy still has a job! It's a bit harder to get fired when you're the CEO and on the board of directors...

minebocek He and datacamp could come make their headquarters in Thailand. Everything is fine and wonderful in Thailand. And of course, a spa b2b cost around 50 dollars. Thailand must be heaven for them.

I don't know certain the identity is, but is it wise to already use a name and a picture in this situation? I'm not even sure if I wanted to know even if it was a 100 % certain. There's much harm that can results from this; and I think there has been enough so far.

juliasilge No wonder why the man behind the curtain didn’t get fired or leave the firm ..... dataandme
