If it is making money you could sell it off. You could also not give it 80% of your time, presumably it would be dysfunctional and not profitable at that point and you could justify laying them off. Or perhaps the division would operate less optimally but still create profit.
The person who needs to change their behavior is the hiring decision person. The player is just making the best of his situation. The fact that the game is running means the most likeable person will be promoted, even if they aren't liked much.
My understanding of how the term was used is this: Zapier has many use cases. Many customers buy Zapier for one or two use cases, not all the features offered. New startups are emerging that accomplish a subset of the use cases that Zapier addresses.
Have you tried another operating system? I have used Cinnamon on an XPS 9360 with an external display hooked up via thunderbolt to displayport adapter. I had some of the issues you described, especially the sleep issues.
I asked about this because I'm not sure your issue is totally related to using a thunderbolt dock. Laptops generally require a lot of OEM developed drivers to fully function. It is very possible you would not experience these issues with Ubuntu which is fully supported by Dell on the XPS.
My understanding is that Mint is heavily based upon Ubuntu and assumed there might be none such differences. Thanks for the suggestion -- I will definitely investigate in that direction.
