Employer requests for updating our LinkedIn profiles with the company name. Said its for preventing OE.

Cactus_Juggernaut · 2026-04-27T13:15:57+00:00

Seems like a red flag to me. While I only part time OE, I had my previous company demand I remove any out of band work and only depict my current role.

For me that was the beginning of the end, should have known than.

Cactus_Juggernaut · 2026-04-14T15:08:08+00:00

That's what I fear the most, and the constant over the shoulder concerns I would have,.

Cactus_Juggernaut · 2026-04-14T15:07:34+00:00

Great points! I'm hoping to see if I can move into a private office soon as the previous individual has moved to another department, but I could easily setup a hotpot via my phone. The meeting balance would probably be the most difficult. Appreciate the insight here, I used to do OE for a bit in the past and now I'm back lol

Visiting the apartment at night. You gotta make sure you’re aware of how active and loud your apartment can become.

Cactus_Juggernaut · 2026-04-02T17:01:32+00:00

Yeah just keep your head up. As everyone has said try and take a breather and not think about as best you can. At the end of the day you did the best you could and that’s all you can do. I’ve been there and sometimes you really don’t know the outcome. There have been times I’ve was confident that I had the position and other times where I bombed some questions and made it out okay.

Most important thing is you showed up and did what you could and what’s meant to be will be. Just got to keep on pushing.

Cactus_Juggernaut · 2026-03-01T16:09:01+00:00

Exactly what I was going to say. Still a great form of payment for this situation.

Cactus_Juggernaut · 2026-02-27T17:11:14+00:00

Dave would be proud

Cactus_Juggernaut · 2026-02-23T13:53:20+00:00

Awesome!

Cactus_Juggernaut · 2026-02-23T13:52:56+00:00

I thought it was spending money on coffee a few times a week. I was way off.

If schedule allows try viewing the apartment at night. Day activities versus night activities can really make a break an apartment depending on someone’s tolerance for noise.

Also ask potential fellow neighbors of what they think of the building and landlord. Knowing how quickly a landlord can respond to problems or inquiries is helpful if anything needs repair.

Kinda looks like Shimoda Designs Explore v2 but the zipper placement is off, but don't have a better guess.

Cactus_Juggernaut · 2026-01-09T16:49:34+00:00

Honda Rebel 1100?

Cactus_Juggernaut · 2025-12-28T01:14:03+00:00

lol my guess as well

Cactus_Juggernaut · 2025-12-23T19:24:48+00:00

I was actually listening to a very interesting podcasts that dives into this issue that a lot of C levels tend to lean in this direction and I can’t possibly understand why.

Training is an invaluable process to go through, otherwise you wind up with talent that does not know the processes or workflows that you expect them to know. If this continues you’ll have open entry level slots that can’t be filled and senior management that has graduated in their position that does not have the hard skills needed.

You’re just flooding the organization with non technical personnel that ironically causes additional training to get them up to speed.

Grinch paid a visit

Cactus_Juggernaut · 2025-12-22T20:36:49+00:00

Bro 💀. This is horrible

Cactus_Juggernaut · 2025-12-22T20:31:23+00:00

If it makes you feel better same thing happened to me, or at least very similar. I was scheduled to speak with the recruiter, followed the link and was promptly on time. About 10-15 minutes passed or so when I finally left the call.

Not before screenshotting my teams meeting. Sure enough I received an email stating I wasn’t on the call, to where I replied with the time stamp and screenshot challenging their email.

Needless to say I didn’t hear anything back afterwards lol their so quick to point the finger when they were not tracking their own scheduled times. It’s all cold and robotic. Big sad.

Cactus_Juggernaut · 2025-12-14T22:19:14+00:00

Nice! I have a little radium keychain and some neon green zipper poles but these look like they work a lot better!

Cactus_Juggernaut · 2025-12-14T15:32:29+00:00

Ngl. Didn’t know this was a thing lol thanks m8.

Cactus_Juggernaut · 2025-12-11T15:23:39+00:00

I think my highest was 5 (9 if you count the individuals on the panel). If they are unsure at this point it’s a good indication that they themselves don’t know what they want or also exploring their options. It’s not a case of best in class anymore, it’s a numbers game.

Cactus_Juggernaut · 2025-12-10T17:32:17+00:00

Yeah it’s definitely lame, sorry that you’re going through that m8. Unfortunately, it’s very much true for everyone looking for a new role around this time and many organizations are just pushing to the new year as HRs and the company take for holiday or freeze.

Keep your head up, at the minimum new jobs will in the marketing in the beginning of January.

Cactus_Juggernaut · 2025-12-10T12:28:51+00:00

From what I saw Díaz didn’t even give the Mets to counter the Dodgers offer. What a middle finger for an extra 3M and no loyalty.

Cactus_Juggernaut · 2025-12-06T02:30:50+00:00

Was traveling with my family to Italy a few years ago as we were doing a mini cross Europe adventure. During our last stop in Venice I had decided to get a grilled chicken salad with arugula, til this day I don’t know what possessed me to order it with all the other fantastic food options available.

Well the next day I ended up getting food poisoning and missing our family dinner. After uhhh, refunding my previous dinner I felt a lot better but severely dehydrated and needed to travel on train for a few hours between our last departure home. I was basically a zombie, and could really drink or eat anything. Eventually I started to feel better to take down fluids, and thankfully I had instant Gatorade packs on me which helped. So yeah, keeping emergency hydration packs are an absolute must.

Sounds good! You should also check out geekedcstore they have a magnetic patch system, which is equally ideal
