I don't know them personally, but I know them to be knowledgeable in xyz." and just kinda leave it like that. In this particular case it's actually passing along to my wife, so it really is "Hey, you know that dumb message board I post on? There's a JD who speaks English, Spanish and Portuguese who might be looking for a job". dpkg chopra posted:I goatsed Lockback’s contact. I will only work for True Posters.

It’s annual expense planning time. Some real ‘me sowing vs me reaping’ incidents are popping up now that the “expense management” focus is manifesting as smaller numbers on a spreadsheet.

As I've aged, working in tech "this is my friend from the Internet" has become less and less of a strange way to refer someone.

Noone at work knows I'm a goon and noone on SA knows I have a job. You gotta keep your professional and posting lives separate.

I will take being a goon to my grave, I make sure no one is behind me if I am browsing the forums on my phone just in case someone recognizes it. Also, getting laid off in about 7 months, I just saw a job that I fulfil all criteria for that is about 3 titles higher than my current role and looks to pay about 2x, and it is 2 miles from my house. I kind of want to shoot my shot, but then I have to update my resume and make a cover letter and miss out on severance and working about 10 hours a week for 6 months. Mainly I just don't want to make a cover letter. Pain of Mind fucked around with this message at 21:48 on Oct 17, 2023 |

People hate counterintuitive risk assessment results. Aside from all the usual corporate stories, there was a government scientific advisor in Britain who got forced out after accurately determining that ecstasy (the illegal drug) was overall less dangerous than horseback riding.

A big fancy building that I worked for a huge company in has a declared no-smoking zone throughout their entire precinct, so you have to stand on the public footpath. One of my colleagues got hit by a car.

I have two fulltime jobs I'm currenly working and two contacts. I just received offers for two more fulltime jobs that don't pay quite as well, but could be chiller so I'm using them as a backup plan for now. I guess that makes me... J6. Seriously though I do have six active jobs right now but I'm only working four of them for the time being. Two of these jobs are just straight up done by GPT-4.

I've been trying to use more AI in my work but tbh it usually feels like I could just do a lot of things in my job faster and better myself. But maybe I'm using the tools poorly

New pet peeve with e-mails I didn't know I had: People who write "To Whom It May Concern" and then only send the message to one person. Just be honest and open with "Hey rear end in a top hat," or something next time.quote:return-to-office came to Zoom That one kinda blew my mind, because it's an implicit statement that their product isn't good enough.

Tax credits for building occupancy, "face time is important", etc. I'm really lucky that my current job only requires me to be in the office a couple days a week for a few hours a day and the drive is only 30 minutes either way There are definitely times when I've had actually useful and productive face to face conversations and meetings with people on my team but there is no good reason at all for a mandate that everyone be in the office 8 hours every day
