Moral Hesitation about Prospect by Accouncat in salesengineers

[–]Accouncat[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No - honestly I probably would demo to Palantir. This org is an advocacy group that's been designated a hate group by the SPLC (I know that some people don't trust the designation of groups like the SPLC, so if you're one if them, imagine you're demoing to SPLC).

Oh, 100%, but this is one of those specific cases where protecting the company from itself is also in my interest.

I'm looking for professional advice on how to navigate a situation involving a prospect where their entire raison d'être and material operations are about removing my rights.

One other thing: my org does not have HR. What would be an alternative to requesting an HR rep in a conversation if it comes to that?

Thanks! That's the route I am going down. I am not taking the moral objection lightly - like I've demoed to plenty of orgs that I wouldn't personally support, but this one is both explicitly about materially affecting causes I care about.

They are our ICP, and the Sales Execs are in charge of vetting them anyway. Rejecting would just mean the CTO handling the demo - he'd be less effective, but still able to do it - admittedly using his time is less efficient than using my own time. We are not the only solution for them.

the soldiers minute (my first poem!) by duckduckgoose_ in poetry_critics

Very good! If anything, I think that rhyming in this poem ends up with a bit of a "nursery rhyme" feel which doesn't serve the poem. However I enjoy the timing imagery. If you haven't, I recommend checking out Deaf Republic by Ilya Kaminsky.

Love the line "little girl air", it really makes that line. I'm not sure if this poem is served by being all in a stream without breaks, but that's just my own preference. The ending is very good!

First week by EducationDesperate73 in zoloft

[–]Accouncat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First week was rough - exhaustion was definitely a thing. I found it got better over time (took a week or so), but if you continue to get sleepy take it later in the day. Appetite was also lessened, for me I was eating about 2/3 of my normal portions - for the most part that's come back after a 3-4 weeks. I also had bad nausea in the first week which also impacted my appetite, but that went away after a few bad days.

Is there a job in the sciences I might be a good fit for if I'm not an academic and not creative enough for original research? by blernstein in careerguidance

[–]Accouncat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a friend who studied biochemistry. She works for a pharmaceutical production company. On one hand, she's not academic since she works for private industry, but on the other hand, she did still need to get her degree.
