Shaman Linavi posted:probably the math test at my new job i took a remotely proctored certification test (laptop webcam and separate usb webcam watching you, proctor asks you to move usb webcam to get shots of whole room at random intervals) partway through the test, the connection to the proctor VPN was lost, cue me sitting there for 15 min not knowing what to do bc the strict instructions regarding not loving with the test laptop. Apparently the tech people on the proctors side were trying to get a hold of someone and when I called them they were like "yeah do the thing the instructions tell you not to do, OK its fixed now." At least they were nice enough to give me the time back.

the only place i worked at that required me to drop was probably the most decent to work stress/demand wise, thankfully the recruiter gave me a heads up and some tips, beating drug tests is super easy when you're white

probably because if they didn't it would be the final nail in the coffin that they are incredibly ineffective from a legal standpoint lol

Plank Walker posted:you can always do what one of my excoworkers did and lobby hard for projects in areas you want to learn, half-complete them, and leave the company for the job you want, forcing everyone else to pick up your slack my last job was sorta like this but it was an old supervisor hitting me up and going 'hey, do you want this job where you work 9-5 M-F, real benefits, and never get called outside of work?' haha later suckers

Bloody posted:tbh this question is hard to answer because working is an unending cycle of breaking something by accident and then fixing it i would be completely incapable of picking a single example of it for talking about in an interview I usually just make something up by picking something that did happen but embellishing the gently caress out of it because I know what they're looking for me to say

cis autodrag posted:fyi, yoga pants are actually significantly warmer than jeans in the winter. women's denim is super thing compared to men's stuff but most yoga pants (lulu aside) are decently thick. it's all anyone wears in the winter around here. if u gents arent ashamed of ur junk u should try them on because they are comfortable as gently caress too. I got a pair of those jeans with the flannel lining on the inside they are warm as gently caress

Stymie posted:dunning kruger kind of breaks down when there's no meaningful difference between competence and incompetence such as with computer touching when i hit 30 i had this epiphany that I spent my 20s working my rear end off when i could have probably slacked off the entire time and still been on a similar, if more muted, career trajectory as a mediocre computer toucher  the job will not save you, etc Progressive JPEG posted:just work somewhere else for a year then come back this is what I am going to tell any of my coworkers that don't get promotions this round

cis autodrag posted:well ya woodmans is employee owned and if you are through your "probationary" period you get the same perks as anyone else. they are loving hella lovely to people who haven't hit that 6-month probation end date though and churn through basic level checkers and stockers like crazy. yeah thats basically how he described it to me, after the six months he really didn't have any reason to go anywhere else, he's been working there since high school so he's stacking that retirement money like crazy. the funny part is that woodmans has really cheap fancy booze so hes buying poo poo like patron and deaths door constantly now

cis autodrag posted:yeah, once i actually get the relocation and signing bonus i should be fine, but we didn't exactly plan to be short on july 1st and most of our bills are due that week. i'll figure something out, but i'm more just frustrated at how epic just relentlessly kicks you in the dick and then wonder why their turnover is huge and their reputation sucks. probably has to do with why theyre hqed in madison

C.H.O.M.E posted:you can do it pretty much anywhere, but it depends on what part of the city you are in. you can live in Austin without a car, I have done it, but 95% of people don't because most of the housing stock is suburban and public transit sucks, but there are other options (ride share, car2go, bicycle) that work well in the central parts of town. most people just freak out when you tell them to roll their car cost into paying for somewhere closer in and to get rid of the car. I'm probably only going to get a car if I ever leave the city, I work remotely so it's certainly a possibility
