anime was right posted:i keep failing upward at myu computer touching job and now im like in charge of major business decisions and its increasingly abstract. i am looking at numbers at spreadsheets and if i type them in a certain way entire teams get created or destroyed. what the gently caress is going on. help me I'm being groomed for promotions but I'm getting apprehensive about them. Literally everything I'd be qualified for doesn't have any real responsibilities. Even the hiring managers give me a nonsensical paragraph when I ask them what the hell the job is lmao

DancingShade posted:Imposter syndrome is real. If you know your own fshortcomings just remember that's a sign you are actually aware of what you can do, what your weaknesses are and what you need to focus on. Anything you feel confident in will most likely actually be good. I appreciate it op ❤️ This is less impostor syndrome and more "I want a job where my boss can actually explain what I do and I have a tangible product of my work at the end of the day"

Xaris posted:lol jeff bezos opened a big giant whole foods market flagship in san francisco near twitter, and it closed down less than 13 months later I was gonna do a trip to the PNW and the endless HOMELESSCRIMEWAVE stories are scaring my girlfriend. Are SF/Portland/Seattle worth going to or should we just hike in the parks instead?

Xaris posted:if you are just a boring looking white couple, you are fine. actual individual-personal crime is about same as usual unless you are an old Asian lady or single attractive women. in other words, that is generally way overblown by the media. probably the worst you’ll experience some catcalling and (a little to a lot) verbal harassment but who cares that’s just normal part of city livin’ We were gonna take that sleeper train that runs all the way up to Vancouver. Good to know about parks though 🙏 Sounds like once you get out of the city it's still gorgeous to visit which is good to know

spacemang_spliff posted:there's that cliche in business that people "don't leave a job they leave a manager" and lol these dummies actually believe it so of course they think people will stick around for no raise as long as they tell their employees "we see you we hear you" platitudes enough We just put pay ranges on our job postings but we can't actually negotiate pay with people Some manager said "maybe they shouldn't work here if they cant make the minimum work" to which I asked "why wouldn't someone want to make as much as possible at their job?" I didn't get an answer

Acelerion posted:I'm not very hopeful about the future of work from home. The winds are definitely pushing against it now and it seems that there are more and more people applying for less and less openings - also I've noticed a major change with recruiters contacting me for on prem positions almost exclusively now. Recruiter Here: All the bullshit Dimon is doing is working: postings are down, layoffs are up, and people are desperate The psychos who never wanted WFH in the first place are putting the screws to people so they can feel like their lives are worth living again

Beached Whale posted:The city of London is a one square mile legal entity surrounded by greater London, generally all the big international banks are headquartered there as it has special tax provisions. The only people allowed to vote for the Lord mayor are representatives from the trade associations headquartered there who predictably all have anglo business brain worms. Lmao it's even worse than I thought

RealityWarCriminal posted:Filling vacancies became a challenge. Within the industry, ZeniMax had a reputation for paying lower than average salaries, and convincing some progressive or moderate video game developers to move to Texas could be difficult due to the state’s conservative social policies. Since Redfall wasn’t yet announced, the studio couldn’t describe its details to prospective employees — a predicament that exacerbated the staffing issues, sources familiar with the process said. Arkane wanted to hire recruits with experience on multiplayer shooters, but the people who applied were by and large looking to work on single-player immersive sims. Totally stunned that the company known to pay like poo poo and was forcing everyone to move to Texas couldn't get any good talent

Taima posted:Right now anti-ad tech works largely because content providers are more uneasy at the political ramifications of hard-stopping people divert/skip ads than they are at the prospect of losing some high-competence techies who probably wouldn't bite at the ads anyways. I want to give a lot of smiles to whatever YouTube exec made the call for random ads to be like 20 dB louder than the content I'm trying to watch

Not a Children posted:Ah yes the office stock, typically built to the minimum legal requirements of bathrooms, fire egress, and water sources and covered in the cheapest carpet and paint money can buy for the purpose of housing information workers to stare at their computers, will be converted to cultural centers My company's actually doing this (rebuilding their campus to be a community center with lots of greenery and inviting local groups to hold events there) but we're a huge international company Even then I'll only go in for 3 days a week at most when they get done restructuring and force us all back into the office

Lacrosse posted:Everything is so expensive now people must be pulling back on their purchases. I can tell because a bubble tea shop I've never given my email address to somehow got my email address to send a coupon deal to. It reminds me of early covid when a bunch of companies I had no idea had my contact info crawled out of the woodwork to tell me how much they care about me. A bunch of friends were ordering bubble tea and I just wanted an unsweet ice tea. No frills, no sugar, just cold tea in a cup It was $8.50 so I didn't order it

Sylink posted:Nah it's more about saying they did something about lazy government workers. The richest Republican areas in Ohio have tons of remote work and they don't really want to get rid of it either. Yeah, Columbus became a huge remote worker hub during COVID since it's a huge supply chain center (10 hour truck drive to both NYC & Chicago) and theres also a huge amount of brain drain from the chuds in power doing chud stuff I don't see them loving the only real avenue for growth in the state & tax population (remote workers fleeing more expensive cities)
