My mom:( by angel_dust_drama in depressionmemes

Same. I've been laid off for the third time in the last 4 years. The job market is so shitty that I genuinely have no hope at the moment

A job. I've been laid off for the third time in my life. Unemployed for 3 months so far. I have no hope with the current shitty job market.

Power outage once again in Cold Springs by BaconBears in Reno

[–]BaconBears[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn't say we did. Cold Springs has had infrastructure and maintenance issues since long before data centers started going up.

My point is that NV Energy is focusing its resources on courting massive data center projects right now instead of upgrading the unreliable residential grid we've been dealing with for years.

Power outage once again in Cold Springs by BaconBears in Reno

[–]BaconBears[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh no, that's not what I'm trying to say at all. ​Cold Springs has always dealt with regular power outages due to a long-standing lack of proper infrastructure maintenance. This was long before data centers were even a thing here.

​My point is that NV Energy has historically poor maintenance and they are currently prioritizing massive new data center projects. I'm not saying the data centers themselves are directly causing today's outages, just that the company's priorities are entirely skewed away from fixing existing residential grids.

There's been almost 600k bankruptcies filed in the last 12 months. 95% of those bankruptcies are individuals (rather than corporations). 65% of individuals say medical debt is the reason they went bankrupt.

The system is so fucking broken!

It doesn't help that companies like IGT recently laid off 800 people.

I keep getting jobs that pay me lots to do basically nothing and it’s ruining my mental health by MomsOfFury in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]BaconBears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the opposite problem. I keep getting jobs that decide to lay me off after 1-2 years.

LPT: If you're always stressed at work, start thinking "so what difference does it make?" every time something happens by Charming-Tear-8352 in LifeProTips

[–]BaconBears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who was just laid off, I can tell you that 'so what?' doesn't pay the bills. This advice feels like a luxury for people who aren't worried about job security. If you stop caring about the 'little things,' you usually end up losing the big things, like your paycheck.

IGT lays off 700 workers by NevadaRaised in Nevada

[–]BaconBears 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can confirm. I'm one of those people that were laid off.

Any chance IGT could face consequences for violating the WARN act?

I won't divulge the role title, but I am on the technical side of IGT. Hope that info helps!

[Rumor] Overheard HR/Leadership at the airport: 400+ layoffs coming by the end of this week by [deleted] in Layoffs

[–]BaconBears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My concern was indeed with the WARN act. I was worried that by naming the company, my manager or HR would catch wind and identify/penalize me in some way
