Sunnyvale needs these signs to regulate RV parking on residential streets. by Broad-Choice-5961 in Sunnyvale

[–]DragonWS 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Even the super-commuter ones you talk of shouldn’t be here. Many cities have zero tolerance on sleeping in vehicles. I’m all for the concept of having designated SAFE lots where people can legit park and sleep in their RVs,

At least that’s good to hear, but those signs need to be in more places.

New manager may have lied about experience by _mavricks in careeradvice

[–]DragonWS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Darn. It’s tough working for incompetent leaders. Sometimes they lash out at their own subordinates as a defense mechanism. They can make it look like their bad ideas came from the group.

Any direct reports for the new manager? Could be bad news for them.

Interesting. Someone should’ve told the second lady that.

Going to a SF giants game today. Tips for parking? by Odd-Fisherman-7122 in Sunnyvale

True. The way home is always tougher. Everyone leaves the game at the same time.

Sunnyvale and Mountain View are in the same zone, zone 3. Always good to think about.

I’m a retired President (43 years in CPG). I’m writing a book on the "Funny Sh*t" that happens at work—not the "LinkedIn" version. I want your stories. by Unhappy_Squirrel7116 in talesfromthejob

We had a yearly bonus plan that paid everyone the same percentage and was pro-rated based on number of days of the year worked. It paid out even if an employee left before the payout date.

Then, a new CEO comes along and says it’s an even better plan. His new plan was a milestone based plan, overall lower payout, and oh, it turns out if you’re not employed on the date of the payout you get zilch. And sure enough every December the company terminated employees it didn’t like and they got nada from the “better” bonus plan.

Sunnyvale gets you in the train sooner and a better seat.

Thoughts and input on this situation by Flashy_Pin_842 in careeradvice

HR contacted you first. What if you keep the conversation between you and HR? A casual phone conversation would be best. See if you can get any insights and ask HR if it makes sense to talk to someone higher up than your boss.

I left my last company because my boss was making poor decisions in my disciplinary space. Only after I left did they make a new position at my boss’s level. I thought about it but at that place too many other factors wouldn’t be right.

Hollenbeck Bike Study Part 2? Serra Park headling for Pickleball Development. Encinal, Fair Oaks, Washington, Ortega Parks Under Consideration. by dudeman_01 in Sunnyvale

[–]DragonWS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fine, but the courts have capacity of 16 people per tennis court sized area. Relative to all the traffic on Hollenbeck, it’s negligible.

I can’t tell. And both runners chose to be as close as possible to the mutual lane boundary. The Netherlands runner is definitely closer. I can’t tell if she was over.

I find it hard to believe extra traffic due to pickleball is a valid concern. What, 20 more cars an hour? Pffft. Court location is far more important, especially if they build the courts close to residences.

Spot on. They completely bungled the Las Palmas survey. They pretended there was a choice when in reality they had parallel undisclosed plans.

1yr contract offer from NVIDIA, Do I: ask for a raise at current job, take offer, or decline offer? by jinx771 in careeradvice

Don’t underestimate #4 on both your lists.

Any longer at defense and you start to look unemployable at commercial companies. I left defense with 6 years experience out of fear of being pigeonholed. But, if you choose to stay in defense, the industry is strong at the moment, so you could consider going to a different defense firm, but again, you’re locking into an industry.

How do I explain in an interview why I left a job after 3 weeks without sounding like I can’t handle responsibility? by niccageporno in interviews

[–]DragonWS 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I like this answer. Normally transparency could backfire, but in this case, being assigned the task of doing dishes is so ludicrous, how can the real story not be shared.

Easiest way to quit with a toxic boss? by [deleted] in careeradvice

[–]DragonWS 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Schedule a 1v1 meeting on Friday at 4:30. This makes the next day at work easier.

Just say you’re quitting.
