canis minor posted:I don't know - for time being I'm not attributing this to malice (very much), but it makes me wonder, as they've slashed the raise I was given for the month I've handed my resignation (I was given the raise three months before, because I was reconsidering to leave then as well, but I've no papers for that as well), and put some reductions on my P45. Time will tell. No papers needed. You handed in notice on day x, they reduced your pay on day x+1. That's cut and loving dry retaliation. Burn them to the ground with a lawyer.

Tab8715 posted:I though Employee law is based out of where they're headquartered? Usually the more stringent of the state they are headquartered in or the state you're in. Example: If you work for a company headquartered in Washington that has a 40h workweek overtime policy, and you live and work in California with an 8h day overtime policy, the California policy will overrule the Washington one.

GreenNight posted:Best Buy is doing a $75 gift card for a working laptop. If your IT Dept is like mine, you have a shitload of old rear end laptops that "work". I have a still functional gateway 386sx 25Mhz laptop with 4mb ram and a 40mg hdd. Black and white screen has a switch so you can invert the black and white. Pretty sure it will run Windows 3.1 if I found some old floppies

Vulture Culture posted:East Coast IPAs are almost all bad aside from Dogfish Head though, and my earnestly-held religious belief is that brewers overuse Cascade hops and blow up the IBUs to mask the off flavors in their beers Mostly they use cascade to mask the poo poo flavor they imparted with too much warrior. Cascade hops have a lovely delicate citrus flavor and just kind of orangerind themselves when used in overabundance.

anthonypants posted:Microsoft fired all their QA a few years ago. Ehh, not really. MS eliminated the SDET role which was a test specialist, but the ones worth their salt were rolled into SDE roles. Unit testing continues, it's just owned by a single pool of developers instead of a siloed off group. The result being that tests are now written by people who understand and develop the code, and changes to cover edge case scenarios are now easier to implement.

I left a company once for a close to 100% raise. The company I was leaving offered a matching salary. If they knew I was worth 2x but were only paying me x and not interested in raising me up, I'll take the new company. Thanks.

Weaponized Autism posted:Does anyone pronounce ACLs as "ackles"? My co-worker does this and it confused me for the longest time. I've always heard it pronounced letter-by-letter "Aay See El". It's Ackles. Side note, I once had a boss in a small company that made devices get on my case for pronouncing LED as "lead", instead of "Ell Ee Dee" because i wasn't an engineer and that was the way engineers say it, i had to say "el ee dee" because i wasn't one.
