The IRS sent me a CP2057 today warning me that I need to file an amended return or face penalties. After digging through all my poo poo, the reason they sent me this is that one of our W2s was $XX97.74 and I rounded it, as instructed, to $XX98 but the employer reported $XX97. A letter over $1. What a useless fuckin agency

Chad Sexington posted:I just have to ask: why can't the customers take them directly to the software people? I'm a product engineer but in my experience the sales engineers (usually called Applications Engineers) are more familiar with the exact needs of the customer and translate that into specifications to design against. I'll sometimes have direct meetings with customers but there is value in that layer inbetween.

PoundSand posted:I guess what I'm getting at is zirp feels like a poor explanation because it wasn't unique to tech, but the explosive increase in headcount was. Other industries weren't taking advantage of the low interest rates to boost their workforce, they were just operating at the same skeleton crews they've been since the last recession. Interest rates spiking explains the layoffs now but interest rates being low in the past don't really explain the inflated headcounts then. if you want to hear a bonafide VC-brain answer to the question, saw this today. it's basically a more VC-ified version of what I posted last night quote:Many tech verticals, including the one I invest in, got a huge boost from COVID due to both federal stimulus funding and fundamental shifts in consumer and business buying behavior. They hired like crazy to service the additional demand, and even then struggled to keep up. Sure, companies could have chosen to grow more slowly, but that would have left revenue on the table and, much worse, ceded market share to more aggressive competitors when their business models often rely on network effects or brand power to keep customer acquisition costs manageable. Not to mention, many of the folks losing their jobs now wouldn’t have had those jobs in the first place if companies had hired more conservatively in ‘20-‘22. I still feel for them because it sucks to lose your job, period, but that’s the reality.

FizFashizzle posted:call them, ask for an itemized list of all the things you got and all the things they say they did. Yeah, it's what I plan on doing as UW Medicine finishes deciding that they want to ask me for money (I just got a notice yesterday for one of the two bills from that procedure saying that they're gonna ask me to pay what my insurance is trying to not cover, so I'm still waiting for the other). But, I've never had to do this before (every time I've had to fight with my insurance company about poo poo before, they've ended up paying out), so I'm still pretty worried about the whole thing.

What a useless fuckin agency At least you can rest easy knowing that they're making wise use of their deliberately meager resources by harassing normal people over a $1 discrepancy instead of frittering them away by going after billionaire tax evaders.

The fuckin stamp is more expensive than that.

I've been filing tax returns for nearly thirty years and this is the first time this has ever been an issue.

webcams for christ posted:response from the CEO: heres the actual response (it's not particularly funny other than the Chris Paul bit): https://twitter.com/eastdakota/status/1745697840180191501 quote:We fired ~40 sales people out of over 1,500 in our go to market org. That’s a normal quarter. When we’re doing performance management right, we can often tell within 3 months or less of a sales hire, even during the holidays, whether they’re going to be successful or not. Sadly, we don’t hire perfectly. We try to fire perfectly. In this case, clearly we were far from perfect. The video is painful for me to watch. Managers should always be involved. HR should be involved, but it shouldn’t be outsourced to them, No employee should ever actually be surprised they weren’t performing. We don’t always get it right. And sometimes under performing employees don’t actually listen to the feedback they’ve gotten before we let them go. Importantly, just because we fire someone doesn’t mean they’re a bad employee. It doesn’t mean won’t be really, really great somewhere else. Chris Paul was a bad fit for the Suns, but he’s undoubtedly a great basketball player. And, in fact, we think the right thing to do is get people we know are unlikely to succeed off the team as quickly as possible so they can find the right place for them. We definitely weren’t anywhere close to perfect in this case. But any healthy org needs to get the people who aren’t performing off. That wasn’t the mistake here. The mistake was not being more kind and humane as we did. And that’s something @zatlyn
