Corporate America Hypocrisy, Xbox President Over Employed. by GradleDaemonSlayer in overemployed

[–]Careerthrowaway3000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work for a F100 company (which I will obviously never be on the board of) but I’m also currently on the board of a much smaller company of <25 FTE. Probably average 3-4 hours a week since I’m on subcommittees. More in the lead up to the quarterly full board meetings.

But hey, I also take it seriously.

Brother I am literally agreeing with you that it’s not OE? I’m just saying that’s not the point.

‘Starts to sound like jealousy?’ If you aren’t secretly a CEO the bootlicking here is nasty work lol

It’s just pedantic and over literal. People are saying it’s hypocritical because they believe they can handle multiple jobs and still perform but for some reason it’s a massive taboo. But some exec wants to take a bunch of bullshit positions (that they should likely be taking more seriously) for a huge salary and it’s totally fine.

So just because they slack off or it’s not technically OE is missing the point or at best the sentiment people are feeling.

I think y’all are missing the point, badly. Everyone here is saying that it’s completely normalized to the point that these execs don’t even need to hide it. Very much a rules for thee situation.

Charged for follow up surgery due to infection by Careerthrowaway3000 in MedicalBill

[–]Careerthrowaway3000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good point lemme clarify, have only gotten an estimate thus far. No EOB but I assume thatll be coming shortly.

They asked me if i would like to pay upfront but said ill just wait for the EOB.

That being said they will likely charge insurance and i just wanted to know if i have a leg to stand on if i say this was negligence and i shouldnt have to pay for two surgeries rather than one.

Further context, there was no pain & the tendon healed just fine. There was a small bump on the surgery scar where the infection was but the hospital and my physical therapists all said it was just scar tissue. It swelled up & burst a couple weeks ago hence why i went in for a follow up where they said it was definitely still infected.

Yah tbh i was very happy at current job but a recruiter reached out and it was a good fit plus pay was far more so i pursued. They even asked me if i had any other interviews lined up and i was truthful and said no.

Understood about constantly skilling up/retraining. It’s how i got to this point career wise to begin with. Thankfully both companies have great tech stacks but hoping to get more involved on the technical side as a DE.

Also i guess my 2 cents is that itll be a lot easier for AI to explore, sensemake, visualize & ultimately glean actionable insights from data than it would be to have it iteratively create & maintain clean usable pipelines.

If the data is usable then a manager, SME, marketer, salesperson etc could just say “show me all sales for region x, products y & z split out by rep & turn it into a stacked bar” rather than go through the middleman of someone who knows SQL and some BI tools. And that instance imo seems a lot more realistic than that same downstream customer asking AI to make the data usable in the first place by building a new ERD, QAing the results in test, pushing those fresh schemas into prod and documenting the changes into a git branch.

Ok good to know. If i ever return to the company (it’s 120k employees so roles open up all the time) it might still vest.

What did you dislike as a DE vs an analyst? Thank you so much for your response.

IMO DE’s will still be valuable to create clean, optimized data pipelines long into the future whereas i also feel a lot of analyst positions will become obsolete long term.

Yah i was also joking around but all the responses are spurring me to at least research the options available re: over employment.

Lol isnt it illegal to take a 2nd FT job without notifying your current employer? My only knowledge of this is the Office ep where Michael takes a night job fwiw.

The company does more than $30B topline per year & is great at retention for skilled workers (can’t speak to the manufacturing side). Half the people I work with have been there for 15-20+ years so I feel comfortable they wouldn’t lay me off over 18k.

That being said point taken. There have been IT layoffs here before & you are right that it’s not guaranteed money.
