No nothing like that, they just offered the teeny tiniest little raises when we'd had 7+% inflation so our wages were effectively set back 2-3 years.
The ceo gave himself a $2 million bonus or something insane.
This is exactly why I'm so goddamn happy I'm in a union, we fought off the fucking cunts and won. Secured significantly better conditions and guaranteed raises for several thousand people all in one go. It was a pretty narrow vote though, they literally hired a guy to generate internal propaganda about how good getting a pay cut was going to be...
Given some of Intel's crap lately, meeting the bare minimum could be considered a big thing for them
Tech companies do something sane? Never.
Honestly I expect half the reason is the headlines
4080 performance at a brand new price!
It's less the interview itself I'm worried about and more the coding tests most companies expect you to complete these days.
I'm a great programmer and problem solver, but a coding interview is exactly the wrong setting to demonstrate those skills because of the way they limit your tools and time. I also don't really work in a way that they're expecting, in the past I've lucked into faking it for entry level positions but I'm in a much more senior role now so the expectations are much higher. My current job never required such a test but they're basically the standard now.
I'm done with my job.
I hate the company because I'm ethically opposed to the business model, I want to actually help people instead of building more efficient ways to steal money from small businesses and the families of dead clients. On-top of that our latest manager is the next in a line of increasingly intense micromanagers who keeps looking at our engagement scores and is basically making our jobs harder and more annoying in response, he can't work out why it's getting worse...
I want a new job, anything that lets me actually help people. Hard to do when you don't have any official qualifications, a disability and are neurodivergent so interviews are a nightmare.
Great news for them, now that coal is cleaner they can switch back and make even more progress!
It makes my day every single time I go riding through the city and I see cargo bikes. So many families are using them now, it's rare for me to make a trip to aldi and not see at least one cargo bike locked up.
I was in an antique store and I found the anime section
Bought a mandolin today and I can't put it down, I can't wait to write tons of pretty songs :3
From the Narrm invasion day rally, we had an enormous turnout
Go listen to Big Thief!
Conditional morality is disgusting and unjustifiable
