I am glad that you haven't had to deal with this in any detail and I hope it stays that way for you. I have people with DMV-registered white power license plates in the parking lot of my fedgov employer so it's a little more in my face.

Like the other posters mentioned, Hitler is seen as a cult figure in India. It is just one of those weird things, like how there is this dark elf helping out Santa Claus in a European country (I forgot the name) that many people find racist.

Unrelated: there is a position open in another group that would be a good step up but if I did manage to get it (unlikely) I just know that I would be expected to do both jobs until they got around to backfilling this role.

Not every company is the same of course, but just a heads-up, my ex-boss at J&J did this and had to perform both jobs for almost three years because her being willing to do both made it reaaaaally easy to justify not spending the $$$ on another headcount.

I learned that at my current job my senior was doing the job of 3 people for ~4 or 5 years under similar circumstances (with perpetually late deliverables because you cannot possibly stay on top of that much work consistently) and I can't believe she never quit or went postal

If you ever make a move across the company a real transition plan needs to be a priority. Though also after like 2 weeks why would new boss want/let you do your old job for another second?

Just because someone sees them doesn't mean they are extremely online enough to get that "joke". I still have no idea what any of that nonsense is about.

You should probably spend less time reading about nazis.

I'm not really sure how to say this so I'm just going to be blunt--you usually make good posts, but man, this is a terrible one. NSDAP isn't even deep lore or some poo poo, its the literal abbreviation for the Nazi party that anyone reading about WW2 at a high school level is likely to recognize.

Let's not even address the implication that people who educate themselves on fascist symbology and coded language in general are just being "extremely online" because that stuff has some serious real world impact my dude. At least if you're one of the people they love to terrorize.

I'm not going to harp on more about this but there's no way I was going to be able to let this post go without comment.

OK, jesus loving christ.

I was hoping the thread would move on or be able to discuss the topic rationally, but I guess I really have to hit buttons.

We all desperately need to educate ourselves on how fascist ideologies take root and grow in a country. Although unfortunately, it seems we are well past the point of needing really deep knowledge on the subject, since the fuckers are running around openly banning poo poo and targeting outgroups left and right. This probably is not the right thread for discussion of it though, and I'm not the right mod to handle that discussion.

Edit again: Fourier Series, I told you over pm's to chill out and that the smart thing to do would be to stop posting in this thread, and then you lay that absolute loving turd of I don't know what in here? You are 100% threadbanned and I need eyes on that post from someone else because every time I read that poo poo I get more angry. get the gently caress out.

Serious question re: Mentoring

Every gigacorp I've worked for has made a big deal of their formal career mentoring programs. It's great! It helps you develop and grow! It can boost your career in new and exciting ways!

Except... I can never get anyone to tell me what exactly is discussed and what kind of guidance is offered in these conversations. Is it "consider learning about topic ______ because it's the way of the future in our industry" or is it "take classes in field ______ because there's a need for people who know it" or is it "think about moving into an org like _____ because your resume could use it" or... What exactly?

I know that each person who goes through this has different mentoring needs but surely someone can give me examples, things they could take action about. No, instead all of it is described in the abstract. As if it's the freaking Matrix.

So, if you've done something similar: could you please describe how/what you got out of it? Am I missing out on something, or is it old farts talking about how when they were coming up in the industry things were different!
