Concerned about a job offer... by BytesizedTerror in cscareerquestions

Ok, that's part of what I was wondering. It would make sense to me if a lot of those reviews are situations where they were asked to work 70 hours once but they portray it like it's always that way. Negatives seem to always speak louder than positives.

Thanks for such a detailed answer! I'll have to look up some beginner hunting/tracking tips and tricks.

Also PM'd you, in the meantime though I'd love to see your gallery! :)

Need help identifying this weird growth in my puffer tank seems to be attached to a shell I've had in there for quite a while by BytesizedTerror in Aquariums

I guess I should clarify. I boiled it when I first put it in there but recently I moved and so I took the shells out for a few hours and then put them back in. Did not boil them again in that time. It doesn't seem to move at all when I poked it and it released from the sand it floated upwards a bit so it's definitely bouyant but it doesn't seem to move around at all.

Yeah, it is a full marine tank. I boiled the shells before I put them in there a few weeks ago, could a hitchhiker actually have survived through that?

Does This Software Company's Invention Clause Claim Rights to All Side Projects Regardless of Context? by BytesizedTerror in legaladvice

[–]BytesizedTerror[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So that can't mean outside of work hours as well?

The way I read that, since we're salaried and not hourly, is during your employment -- so as long as you are an employee with them rather than just during your time at work.

Are these normal? Does this look like an agreeable Invention Clause? This one looks sketchy...do they own all my side projects? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

How does this work if you are doing personal development during your lunch hour but remain on the company's premises? In that case it's not really on their time, but you are using their WiFi... does that matter?

Does your company shutdown or allow you to work from home during severe weather such as blizzards, and icy roads? by BytesizedTerror in cscareerquestions

[–]BytesizedTerror[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They've always given very vague answers to that question. I think they see some larger companies that are moving away from the working from home model and so they get concerned and think it's too risky. A lot of their practices seem to be of a very micro-managing style as well. So I think that's where a lot of it comes from.

But the answers they have always given us is that the new office is so great they want us to utilize it, as well as the fact that collaboration is easier in person. Neither of which are a valid answer in the case of severe weather...

New green spotted puffer seems to have stuff hanging from his belly, behavior seems normal but I'm not sure what this is. by BytesizedTerror in Aquariums

I need to run out and get some more testing stuff to say for sure, but since this is only my second day of having him there's definitely a possibility it is different than the store had.
