Can you really not turn off suspend on close on a Mac or is that why it's funny?

Today I had the bleu cheese burger at the Microsoft cafeteria, and it was...... pretty good! They kind of skimped on the fries this time though... was a bit disappointed by that.
I wasn't around that area when the protests happened, so I missed all the commotion

how do I check if I'm not really doing any work compared to other colleagues? they always gaslight me for doing only bare minimum but I'm not sure they are any productive either. what clues can I pay attention to?

do you have a "rival" at your company, anon?

learn a trade

anyone has to work in a VDI? how do you stomach it?
a local thin client is bad enough, imagine having to work in one from a different continent ...

Just got a new job after getting laid off by jeets and being jobless for three months interviewing with the most psychopathic companies in existence. Im going to start working 50 hour weeks to never get fired again

>>106325579
answer only the questions asked truthfully and succinctly. do not provide or confess to information not asked for, even if you think they'll ask for it later.

for example

right:
"have you ever used drugs"
"yes"
(follow up questions)

wrong:
"have you ever used drugs"
"yes, i've used x, y, z blah blah blah, oh I used to deal to my friends too, and i used to launder the money by doing this..."

>>106330884

Working on a multi-team feature and we recognized that we need a redesign of some component. The retarded roastie PM asked me who is going to work on that fix, and I told her that I don't know, Team B owns that component, I work on Team A, I will do nothing about this, it's not my problem (I'm not a lead at all btw, I'm not expected to know). Turns out she just forgot or some shit or was too incompetent to ask Team B, so she just ended up assigning the task to me and told the project lead that I've been working on it. Got asked in the weekly meeting when is it going to be done since I've been working on it for weeks. Fucking retard making me look bad, no I'm not working on this, I know nothing of how it works and my team doesn't own that component and in fact the team that does own it is in another country

Job recruitment ad ending with
>PS: Good code made during working hours is more valuable to us than bad code done overtime.

The hell is that supposed to even mean? That you value good and fast over bad and slow? Why even have that in a job listing?

>>106330832
idk, but if you have a charger and an external monitor (type-c PD works, so the charger is optional) connected you can close the lid

>>106332748
They don't crunch you and send your ass home.

>>106332748
Work smarter, not harder.

Nobody in my team is willing to have more than a 5-second conversation but we still have to come in. Manager across the country. Everyone just comes to their desk, sits quietly for 8-9 hours with a short lunch (which everyone gets on their own), then goes home. I'm not the most social portion in day-to-day life but somehow I'm the only one bothered by this miserable solitude. But I feel like I'd be making a mistake if I leave my Big Tech Company for somewhere unknown that might want to work me harder

>>106333047
>Nobody in my team is willing to have more than a 5-second conversation but we still have to come in.

It's all performative. Management thinks working at the office magically helps with "collaboration" when in reality it does nothing.

>>106332748
Job listings with bullshit comments like that is a red flag. They always mean the opposite of what they say.

>>106332906
At least not officially, since overtime requires overtime pay.

>>106333210
I'm what way? I'm pretty sure I could get a NOC job any time I wanted — I choose not to because my current job is comfier.

>>106333145
True but it does help them surveil you and make sure you're actually """working""" the whole 8 hours. Or at least it does with open floor plans.
Can't believe people used to complain about cubicles

interview locked in. 6 people on the line. its time for another humiliation ritual.

>>106330781 (OP)
Lol, that image reminds me of a story.

I was working at an NFP group a few years back. They had a Wordpress site that accepted credit card donations. This was like 80% of their revenue.

Every so often, someone would shut the fucking lid on the laptop that ran it and they'd lose the ability to accept payments. I argued time and time again to let me build a $15 VPS that would take this cluster fuck away but noone could approve the expense.

Feels so pointless applying to a major company (one that everyone on this board would know) when my resume is so unimpressive but at least it only wastes like 10 minutes of my time.

>>106333162
Exactly. Whenever they meantion something as “not a problem” unprompted you know it’s a serious rumour (because it’s true).

I worked for a transportation years back and during the interview they just stated that their budget isn’t an issue.
Turns out they wouldn’t pay for anything. Certainly not for training. My coworker was denied a $25 book on a topic he needed to research.
The company was retarded anyway and I soon left. They never took anything I suggested seriously (until I left). I tested a Palo Alto Firewall in only transit mode and it found several botnets on their network. The leadership still didn’t want to even address it. They paid AT&T $35/mo per device for their full tunnel VPN device back to a central point to filter all traffic. It was hundreds of sites and it was slow AF. They wouldn’t even consider an alternative to that design.
Their “big massive innovation” project was moving their data center from their office to a 3rd party Data Center.
The best part was talking with truckers on the phone on helping them setup their networks. They always had interesting stories

>>106332262
I do not think trading MTG and Pokemon cards is going to save anyone.

>>106333047
This is literally my office
"Good morning"
"Goodbye"
Is all it's uttered out loud, anything else? Teams, even if the person I'm talking to is literally right next to me

I don't mind it but I wish I could save the time and money it takes to come here for NOTHING I'm literally working on a fucking laptop I don't even have a monitor to plug it in here lmao

>>106332748
They're trying to look "cool" but what they really mean is
>no opportunity for overtime or other ways to make extra money
>if you don't make the needful "good code" first try you're fired

>>106331086
yes. the office AC unit. it makes the office too dry and my dandruff flares up and my nose is itchy all the time

I think i finally figured out why i fail so many HR interviews
You have to open up a bit, you need to make some kind of a human connection, when you talk add some info that isnt necessary but makes the conversation more cordial. You truly have to open a bit to them
I just tried that out and the woman also opened up a bit and said some things about her that are not necessarily work related. It makes them think that you would fit in the team and environment better. Is that correct?

>>106334702
Nah. I can pass for a normie in interviews and even if you do this, you won't pass the HR gauntlet a lot of the times.

>>106334777
I mean, it does help, but it's not a silver bullet. I've tried opening up, make them laugh and even manipulative shit like "oh I left that other job to take care of my sick mother" and it's still a crap shoot.

>>106334702
i don't get it, how did you get your current job then?

>>106334882

>>106335578
>having a phd/ms makes you a better engineer
lol

>>106335578
This checks out pretty well. The bigger issue other than population size differences (chink 900mil-1.4bil estimate) is likely how PhD programs are conducted in each country. If you or your advisor cannot find something for your PhD then that slot has no reason to exist. If they cannot get funding to add those slots and pay the students who obtain such PhDs then these slots will not be filled. Industry compared to academia can only add so many extra slots and likely they would rather take someone who has a PhD and finished a post doc then prop up one of their own for 5 years of schooling that might not pay off even if it results in a new product down the line.

If PhD's paid 60k yr alot more people would be doing it but often then not its 25-40k range per student per year and even less.

>>106335679
Wow haha thanks to all of those PhD chinese and indian engineers, without them we wouldn't have been able to get such game changing revolutionary products like:

No.

I don't care if he's an indian or chink, but if he's white then you're an actual piece of shit and deserve to lose your job and retirement

iToddlers have to make signs like this because their boutique doorstops have no way to keep working when you close the lid.

>>106331437
real. I interviewed with a government agency and had to do a polygraph test and they dont care for the most part if you did shit in your past as long as you were honest and didn't hide it. Withdrew my application though because I had to fly to the DC area and it was disgusting and did not want to move from a mostly white area to groid central

>>106337429
One of those HDMI dummy plugs would fix it. If a mac laptop has power and an external display and you've set the "don't sleep" option it won't go to sleep even with the lid shut. Sure, you can argue that there should be a software equivalent, and maybe there is some 3rd party hack, but if $10 on amazon fixes it, well that's it fixed then.

>>106330781 (OP)
Would anyone here quit a job if you were assigned a project about creating fake, nonsense KPIs for customers?

>>106337785
Honestly why do you even care about the type of project you are working on? The only thing that matters is a relevant tech stack.

>>106337831
That's a pretty shallow response for /twg/ , and even then, even for /g/, and even then ...

I'm not some moral pedestal phaggot, but I have some values. I dislike having to tell colleagues and family that I work on duping customers and my work has no meaning beyond that. Colleagues work their hardest to treat the customer kindly and now I'm the source of lies? Thanks bossman for making me look like an idiot

>>106337785
I wouldn't quit flat out, I would coast, gather evidence and look for a different job while hoping to get laid off for performance or something, there's no shame if duping a scammer.
If you can get away with whistle blowing why not.
Or you could make a big show of it and quit but I don't know what that would accomplish other than impressing on your coworkers that it might be time to jump ship.
Bottom line though, if you just silently quit it almost makes you an accessory and now your without a job, moral indignation without action is despicable.

Finished all my solo projects and now I've been thrown into team based projects

Out of curiosity, and to learn it so I won't have to use sed and cat to fix configuration on a minimal installation of an industrial OS that was in Chinese.

I got given the option between PIP and severance. I chose severance.

>>106337785
You mean scamming clients?

>>106338493
How long was your severance?

What's the worst severance offer you ever got? For me it was $3k after 2 years of working there and they expected me to sign a bunch of legal docs saying I had never been harassed at the company or treated unfairly (both of which were untrue), plus a bunch of non disparagement clauses for LIFE over a measly $3k. They thought I was a retard desperate for money with no savings, told them to shove their money up their ass and I would say whatever I want

fucking hate my team. all brazen liars. i'm done with people

about to get a nice meta lowball offer and absolutely no leverage or other offers

Just spent the last hour installing 64gbs of ram into dell desktops that only had 16gbs of ram. These PC's are some intel 12000 series CPU. Meh company wants to be cheap and extend the PC longer since its out of the warranty window then that's on them. The real concern is since we are a larger company we never had to do this before. I figure at this point the market is fucked so this was their way of saving money. Normally they would do a tech refresh after 5 years but this pushes our refresh for another 3. Shits fucked if they are counting pennies on refreshes.

CS monkeys, your career is over. Chatgpt has become way too good. I am an R&D engineer in hardware. I work with terabytes of experimental data from niche instruments. Chatgpt allows me to create a complete package for data analysis and even automates extrapolation of data points of interest. 5 years ago I'd have to rely on slimy smart ass with a half baked coding degree to do the bare minimum. Chatgpt (in copilot) just wrote me 600 lines of working code for an experiment in RF and went above and beyond

Within my organization I have seen this 2 times. My boss says he saw it 2 more times before I got hired there. None on the managers ever learns any lesson from this. Surely if you want to move all operations to India you'd try to at least build some competence?

>>106338840
yes this can be true but it is not always true

>>106338862
Seems like mass quitting/moving is a common theme across all work places. I am currently trying to plug that hole before it gets worse. We are losing(4 fired, 1 retired , 1 quit) since the start of the year and might even lose more as work gets piled onto less people. I cannot even poach enough people to fill the slots anymore. Worried its just going to be me and 2 other people working 6x12's if this continues.

indians and chinks do the same, it's only white people that abandon their own
we are in a war for survival, and you would abandon your progeny to the brown hordes instead of being slightly uncomfortable in the present

>>106338792
Why 64gb and not 32gb?

>>106338899
nta but plenty of white people are enemies aswell.
Growing up is realizing you are surrounded by enemies and you lack the means to kill them all.

>>106338482
>>106338899
unironically you have no right to ever complain that your company is full of indians that don't do shit if this is your attitude, they will protect members of their tribe and coalesce to take over institutions regardless of their personal shortcomings just because they work as a collective.
Good luck trying to get the lazy jeets that don't do shit fired. You'll wish you had that 20 year old white developer instead.

>>106338901
its DDR4 so its cheap in bulk. We already have these PC's on M2's so overkill will allow it to last 3 years(7yr total). I can assume that some bulk supplier had a better deal for more product being sold, which is why dell is still in business mind you.

>>106338890
similar situation here (half quit and probably more coming (including me because i work with a bunch of pieces of shit))

>>106338890
How do 4 people get fired? Sounds like an issue with the company.

>>106338916
Every company is getting jeeted badly and I bet it will be the catalyst for the next tech collapse once actual technological advancements slow to a crawl and it's just scamming investors.

>>106339017
Super chill job. Someone broke an acceptable use policy for internet usage so that's to be expected. The other 3 were excessive no call no shows and generally were not doing their work despite retraining, talking too's and PIP's. The boss gave them every excuse but after the PIP they thought it was all peachy until they got fired for not doing their jobs when required. Once again though chill job with somewhat easy work.

>>106338899

This guy is my "manager" but not really. Does pay my bills and I'm not helpdesk. We're hiring a helpdesk guy but he hasn't started yet, how do I get this manager to fuck off and stop going to me? He's kind of a friend but asks the stupidest questions and thinks that helping users (by sending them to me and bypassing ticketing at helpdesk and tier1 support) shows his value.

You don't get to get paid just for sitting your fat ass in a desk chair all day just because you're caucasian in ethnicity. Grow up. Everyone else on the team, including other caucasians since you're so intent on hyperfixating on race, has to do your work on top of their own without getting a portion of your paycheck. That shit only flies in television and movies, and that's when it's the boss's retarded son who was given a job because he's the boss's son.

My job is closing up shop in a couple months (IT stuff, I currently make ~70k a year) and I’ve been looking for new jobs for a month or so now. Would you take a datacenter job through a third party company that will be working in MAG7 data centers? The pay is pretty shit ($60k) but I’m worried if I don’t take it things will just get worse. I was hoping to land a basic sysadmin or higher level helpdesk job for around 75k but things are so slow now.

In case you haven't realized it yet, the world is not the fantasy meritocracy you have in your head. Do whatever you want, but don't be surprised when his replacement is brown and you can't get the even shittier replacement fired. Your conscience.

Nta, but you would be very fucking dumb to simp for lazy workers and reduce your own quality of life just because they're the same race as you.

>>106339695
every other race polices their own. when a black person gets arrested for murdering a white kid all of the blacks raise him tens of thousands on go fund me. when a jew gets arrested for being a pedophile the jewish judge lets him out on bond and he flees to israel. when an indian gets a position as a manager he hires all of his friends regardless of their qualifications or candidate pool.
It's only whites. whites are the only ones that don't look out for their own.

>>106339547
Fuck this fucking sucks man.

>>106339730
Those issues are exaggerated. Regardless of any bias, most workers in tech are white, most people arrested per capita are colored, and white people can get a free pass on pedophilia too.

This is how I feel about one of our analysts. He just goes through scorecards and mindlessly assigns tasks to my (infrastructure) team. 80% of the time, if you ask him details about interactions, it's like he doesn't even understand the words coming out of our mouths. Actually I'm pretty sure that's exactly what's happening.

How you build an attack story and do your day to day without real IT knowledge or experience is beyond me. How you learn those skills and get the experience in his position, is an even greater question.

humiliation ritual done. i dont have 6+ years of experience that they wanted but i do have 3-4 years in a networks + some low level help desk. i did meet every credential they need so i think i have a good shot at getting this job offer.

You're a fucking doofus if you think working harder is going to keep you on the payroll dude. I tried it myself, then read these threads. Management either A: Doesn't care B: Sees you working twice as hard and wonders why YOU are working 30-60% more time for the same result, or C: They see you work your ass off and decide to run you ragged and then cut you off the line. Set some fucking boundaries with your management and work smarter. You should be asking yourself about your work "Is there any way to make this automated/faster" and if there is, DO IT and make your work seem effortless.

>>106338792
Penny wise pound foolish my anon. If you encounter a company like this you need to run. If they cheap out on laptops their enterprise infra and sec-ops are being fucked on as well. Kind of like how a restaurant that doesnt clean their menus with a wet wipe or wipe down the table are usually messy kitchens.

>>106338862
No, they all go through it as a sort of phase, really. Seen a lot of companies do it when some middle manager or C-SUite comes in and wants to make thier mark, so they outsource for cheapo labor and it bites them in the ass. Tale as old as time.

I did this recently at the unit, but down by an order of magnitude. Spent that time gutting a big pile of "old" dell desktops with a few ODs who had never seen inside a computer before, at least training them that far and answering their questions on both the administrative and plain hardware whys and hows. I think I got more performance review points out of attending a CMS refresher with a junior and telling him bold-faced "Yeah, we (in our trade) never use this. I'm not sure why they invited us." than I got out of actually upgrading workstations using salvage from the ones we were returning.

yeah, zero contact.

>>106341547
Honestly, I applied for a chuckle, was shocked when I got a callback and only did the interview for practice, and then I needed fingerprints done and to provide other documents. I'm still waiting for it to come crashing down and fail over something that should have been obvious. I've been there a week doing nothing and worse than no one noticing my presence, people in the office have said at least "hello" to me. It's gotta all topple over sometime.

>>106341632
Its generally what happens with contractors. You would rather fuck it up for 100-200$ then pay 2x-5x the rate to get it actually fixed correctly. Good that you are moving on. I spent 200$ trying to do window tinting myself after watching a few hours of content on it and fucked it up. Now i said screw it I am just not going to pay someone else 700$ to tint. It was worth my time to find out if i could but now i realize it's not worth paying someone else. Very common mentality amongst most people. Phone repair is fairly big since its 150$ or less for a phone worth 800-1200$ which might extend the life out for 2-3 years so mentally its worth it if you break out the purchase cost amongst the years.

But yes move on no contact no problem. Happens all the time long term friend ship only exists with long term work/club/hobby relationships. Girls are more fleeting on the matter but some friendships like this can last longer until she is married. At that point both male and womens groups transform into married couples going out so very hard to keep the original group together.

>>106341668
I messed up my original question. I didn't mean pay as in "get someone to fix it and pay them", but as in "compensate her for the stupid thing I did". I wanted to give her $200 for the trouble I caused, even though, again, I don't think it was my fault (knowing her, I think she probably tried to fix it herself or had a female friend try that, moved it elsewhere and it felt or some shit, and killed it). I feel really bad when I remember what happened, in particular the fact that she needed the laptop at the time (even though she had previously told me that she was NOT in a hurry... she's a dumbass)
also, she wasn't a long term friend. we had met only a few months earlier through Tinder. that's what caused the confusion in the first place...

Don't worry about it i had to fight my little sister over the phone to give me photos of here computer since i had a hunch that she plugged in the Display port on motherboard connection instead of the GPU. I really had to tell her that if she harrumph's my line of questioning about her shit being broke then she deserves to waste another 3000k on a gaming computer i built for her with her own money instead. A 3 year old PC can play just about any game but reality is monster hunter wilds blows donkey dick and you are using the wrong port for your PC. I paid for it so last thing i need you to do is blow me off for trying to fix your issue since your "Stressed". Bullshit for bullshit reasons because of muh emotions. Either way its fixed now.

I mean, yeah, I wanted her pussy (don't remind me you faggot)
but really, I felt bad for her for having such a shitty laptop. it only needed an HDD, some more RAM and a more modern OS. I wasted like 1 hour on that shit trying to boot W10. never got to know wtf was the problem.

i think im the only minority in my office

>New job
>First week was one meeting a day reviewing the company’s infrastructure
>Second week I have done literally nothing at all, nobody asked me to do anything
It’s complicated but basically a lot of people got hired at the same time including my boss and the senior engineer I’m under. I’m nervous about what I’m going to say about how I spent my time if someone asks in a weekly round up or something. I’m genuinely shocked that nobody asked me to do anything during my first two weeks but the comfiness of WfH is sorta overridden by the anxiety I feel even though it’s not my fault.

>>106341410

It went pretty smooth. Wangblows being wangblows the update failed on my machine but it rolled back and I was requeued the update 24h again.

Has anyone on your team ever gotten fired for a reason you don't believe?
A dev on our team got fired a couple of weeks back, I was on PTO so I wasn't around for that announcement. My manager and SM were pretty weird about it and offered very sparse/vague information, something about "low performance" - and that was that.
This guy wasn't the #1 performer on the team but he was still pretty good at his job, hell he was better than me on some things. Never caught any vibes that he was being lazy or slacking off. And even if he was wouldn't they at least put him on a PIP or something first? What are the chances he wasn't fired for performance at all and it was some nefarious criminal shit and they were just being all PC about it? This shit feels off

actual fucking nightmare dungeon i'm going insane

I fucking hate you fags. Almost everyone could get clearance but none of these faggot companies want to help you get it they just want you to already have it. Catch 22 bullshit pisses me off.

>>106342252
It costs these companies $50k to get it. Generally they want you to stay in an underpaid position(helpdesk) for 1-2 years to pay them back for basically a free check for the rest of your life.

>>106342252
no one knows how long a background investigation is going to take and nothing is stopping a candidate from taking another job offer while the investigation is ongoing. the sponsoring company will still have to reimburse the gov't for the investigation though which is why companies are so jewish about clearances.
mine was only like 4 months but i've known people whose investigations took a year or more

My manager still hasn't told me what my yearly bonus is...
What the fuck is his problem?

>>106339898
I have had a few where I didn't do shit.

1. Was at a major automotive company that rarely let go of their people. It was mostly due to a lack of tickets but I still had imaginary work as some of my supervisors could not see the writing on the wall.
I tried my best there but once I was in limbo (as was like 50% of the company) I stopped caring about pretending, even got called out on a 1 on 1 performance review with my boss (another supervisor called me out), and straight up told him that it didn't really matter, did it? but he just moved on like I didn't mention it and the whole team was out of a job a few months after that. This went on for about a year, after 3 months I stopped caring and after another 6 I stopped pretending (literally would sleep in office chairs, play vidya with other coworkers, would go into the office for an hour to chat then leave, etc.)

2. Was at a shitty contractor job where I was told it was going to be 100% remote. The pay wasn't bad, especially fresh out of uni. After 3 months all the new hires got pulled into a call and told that we had to go to in office, after that my full time job became looking for a new one and studying. spent 3 months like that, never delivered a thing.

>reporting dev

I had something like this happen.
I kinda talked to the guy so I just asked him and he said he would sometimes just stop going because his mom was "sick", turns out he thought he got a free ride for some reason and would just go on vacation.
Talking to another senior coworker he revealed the dude was a dumbass and the dude couldn't take constructive criticism.

After some time

I kind of felt bad for him at the start but then he got insufferable and was immune to advice. On top of that I found out later he would interrogate anyone for gossip/negative things about other people not just me.

Sounds like both of your options are wrong and the question betrays your inexperience.

>>106344508
if a task has good acceptance criteria (i.e. specific and testable) it shouldn't matter how you implement it so long as the ac is fulfilled
if the ac is trash that's a pm problem that needs to be addressed

Better than france only if you go to Quebec. Bad if not terrible if you want a job at all in Canada.

haha you kinda read my mind, i was thinking of eating some gummies desu. i don't think it'll make me productive but im kinda tired of getting shit work from my manager because he's fucking too pussy to say no to a request so im constantly sending tickets or stuff to people that are "fake requests" so we have the optics of doing shit when all I know is if we do get a reply back, it's just extra overhead for us (me). i'm actually fucking starting to hate this guy.

>>106346550
that's the new "meta" as gamer fags say
it actually works too, but feels gross

ive been experiencing what i think are minor hallucinations (seeing movement of large bugs or maybe even small mice at the edges of my vision and then it's really obvious there was nothing and couldn't have been) and also had a persistent headache for a few days, did I have a stroke?

Manager new in this role here and I've noticed that our developer is getting burnt out. Would really appreciate some advice here.

We promised him a promotion but due to company layoffs we had to put it on hold. I think I have a sense on why he's getting burnt out in that most of his projects usually get taken from my boss and sad to say but the goalpost keeps constantly moving even if we have shit in a steady place. A lot of our projects are mostly working on documentations that list business requirements for projects that are upcoming but we have no idea when that'll be entertained by the other teams yet. A lot of projects have been put into pause because of the layoffs and our projects keep bouncing back and forth. It sucks I know but our developer is showing signs of burnout and I have no idea how to get him to recover from it. Any tips?

>>106346169
Unironically yes. I've got an interview in a few hours and then I'm pretending to work for the rest of the day. Might even get high.

How do I get good at estimating required capacity and time taken? I'm just pulling numbers out of my ass right now

Double it

>>106346674
3X the amount of time it takes you to normally do things. The real kicker is that it takes alot more factors to get accurate to the hour info for someone that might need it. You need to account for shit breaking, new projects pulling you away, you breaking something, getting stuck on something and getting distracted. Best thing to do is keep track of how long it takes you to do things already, then you can start estimating.

>>106346674
>asked to estimate a specific new requirement
>double it in my head because I always underestimate these things
>development coordinator doubles it again before passing the numbers on
>team lead doubles them again before giving them to the higher ups
>still ends up taking longer than the stimate

Gm twg, cheers to fellow 4x10ers

37 minutes into the daily standup

>sent a snippy email because I'm honestly tired of people's shit and I'm having troubles filtering what I say now.
I kinda regret it but it's starting to annoy the shit out of me when I ask someone information and they keep passing the puck.

Under promise over deliver, every single time. You might even see a customer cry if you complete shit super early.

idk, but, maybe talk to him?

Ok so I have one lowball offer for $185k in defense that I would take after 4 months unemployment but I also just made it past the panel round for somewhere top tier thats going to be a $450k tc offer ($250k remote, $50k bonus, $150k rsu). I expect a third offer from a jeet shop for $200k. I like first defense job the most but I also like money. Their offer expires in a week. My final director 30 min checkbox chat with the top tier is probably going to take an offer past the deadline for the first job. Is accept and maybe renig the only sensible thing to do or should I risk asking for an extension and getting no offer? HCOL

Going through old journal entries I found one that was about how I hated my job and had to get a better one if I wanted to keep improving my skills and not end a burned out boomer like my coworkers.
That was three years ago. I'm still at the same job but hatred has been replaced by complete indifference.

>>106346852
He doesn't say anything except "Okay", "Sure", "Sounds good." I've even asked if he's doing okay since he looks out of it and he just blank stared at me and went "Yeah.", think we have to let him go?

>>106346875
kek I could have written this post word for word except I burn my diary entries right after I write them

>>106346874
Shit like this makes me sometimes toss a line out every now and then.

>>106346895
NTA keep your diary entries, dream journals and idea jars. All very useful in the art of imagination, you can gain alot of knowledge about yourself, the future or ideas of how to achieve your goals with these minor things. It's just another form of meditation, focus and manifestation.

>>106342201
If he was actually fired, and didn't for example resign voluntarily, then he was probably doing something bad. Firings are when shit's gone really wrong.

It's been happening with me a lot especially with indians. It's semi related to what I'm working on but it's like what the fuck am I suppose to do with this shit?

>>106347032
Yeah part and parcel of a bloated company. They invent things that need to be done, boxes to be checked, for nobodies benefit.

>>106346821

>>106346997
Another Indian aka AI. Wasn't the stat that only 5% of indian SWE's and Engineers could actually do the work they said they completed in college?

>>106346997
hype alone doesnt actually make money and "valuation" is a meaningless metric? say it aint so!!

>AI systems fail due to their inability to learn and think
AI systems fail because retarded middle managers just say "use ai lol" without any actual objective, only (((KPI))) ""metrics""

>>106347032
>>106347003
honestly when that happens to me i file it away and try to figure out a use for it. corpo shitlore is always good to have because down the line you might need to know who/where to badger about some small non-core issue

for example, i got copied on a tl;dr email chain about pest control. I am in IT. I do not give a fuck about pest control. but now if I see mice touching my lunch I know exactly who to have killed

>>106346997
There is no money left to hire people because of this. Just another few more billion and things will turn around. "Real AI hasn't been tried yet" type nonsense.

>friend working at FAANG only ever talks about how much overtime he has to do and how fucked the whole structure is
I don't get how people can do that, man. I'd rather my less-paid job where I get to be comfy and do fun programman

>>106346874
Tell the top tier that you've got an offer and want to try and accelerate things with them. In the mean time tell the low tier that you'll accept. But don't start until you'd have an answer from the top tier.
Worst case the top tier gives you an offer and you absolutely take that position. Just apologize to the low tier to not burn bridges. These things happen.

>>106347148
I could maybe do a year or two of FAGMAN to get it on my resume if I had the opportunity.

>>106346997
My boss actually thought productivity would increase 10x using AI.
Reality is that I take 4 times less to do a task, estimate it as if I didn't, then spend the rest of the time slacking off.

>>106347145
don't forget a few more terawatts of electricity, we need the entire US electrical grid to be diverted to a handful of data centers to ensure line go up !!!

>>106330884
We're migrating now, and I'm looking for ways to make it go as poorly as possible so that my boss will hate it and regret ever forcing me to do this.

>>106347148
It’s true 99% of fagman work is politics, presentation, or the shittiest and easiest programming work imaginable. Maybe 1% does interesting work and it’s entirely team dependent.

>>106347148
What truly baffles me is when (non-tech) relatives and acquaintances ask me if my job has promotion opportunities, by which they always mean middle management
Is it every single worker's dream to become a middle manager? I picked this job cause I liked it, why would I wanna do less of it just to sit in meetings all day instead?

>>106347213
Once you get to your late 30s early 40s you realize how fucked your longterm prospects are if you want to stay an IC especially after a layoff.

>>106347225
But not all 40 year olds become middle managers thoughever

Bump, any tips for handling this type of situation? He's not opening up and honestly his work ethics seems to drop more and more everyday.

>>106347267
We're all here and put up with bullshit because of money. Give him an unexpected bonus, and not $100, but 5-10% of his base
>oh no I can't do that how about a pizza party?

>>106347267
Burnout comes from too much work or from clearly doing dumbshit work that isn't gonna be used by anyone for anything. Stop giving him those two things
>but the bosses say we have to
Yeah well it's fucked then innit
Disagree with the other anon that payment prevents burnout

>>106347263
True but you might have to change careers snd get paid way less.

>>106347267
>i abuse my employees and refuse to pay them. how do i extract more value out of this guy before he kills himself?
just buy him some Tim Horton's gift cards

imagine burning out lmao

i burnt out. lit from both ends. i got ambushed with a flamethrower

>>106347371
It usually happens after you grind for years to make fagman and then realize how brain dead and stupid the work is there versus how great you thought it would be and realize you are absolutely now only in it for the money.

>>106347287
As I said we can't do anything since it's still mid layoffs and he's not really worthy of a bonus with his work now.
>>106347336
Asshole remark aside, do gift cards actually help?
>>106347294
It's nothing I can do, we're all at the whim of our bosses. I don't know what big boss prioritize and anytime I ask him, it's mostly everything.

>>106347426
>Asshole remark aside, do gift cards actually help?
no retard, most people actually hate them because even if you appreciate the gift, the recipient will resent the gift card itself because it's usually hard to actually spend it down to 0.

even if you will be a typical HR karen and replace actual work-life balance and job fulfillment with food and drink coupons, you should just show up with the tankard of coffee and box of timbits directly. (and despite workers making fun of it, availability of reasonably healthy or at least filling snacks does help morale)

>>106330781 (OP)
That is my media server right now, and I can close the lid, what is his problem?

>>106347426
Sounds like he's just making the most rational choice then.

good. they all fell for the hype and convinced their own corpo clients to fall for it too and while most companies are using LLMs and related tools to some degree, it all will end up crashing and burning and tons of money will be wasted.
and hopefully we will have cheap GPUs in the future.

This, It's always better to over estimate and deliver early than to under estimate and and deliver late.

unironically do it right or make it look right so you can point to microsoft when shit goes wrong
start collecting articles on microsoft fuckups so you can condition the atmosphere
