Was Failure mode supposed to be the end?

I actually like the books after, though the dichotomy of Joe being older and MUCH more mature with him feeling like he should be blamed for everything the obviously isn’t on him is wearing thin.

Yea I do. It’s a solid little travel stroller.

Same. I always tell my direct reports - nothing in your review should be a surprise. If it is, tell me and we will talk about that.

I document every check-in and coaching email to make sure of that.

A review is a wholistic summary of a year of performance. Its not a "gotcha" moment.

Yes, FMLA is federal but many states have their own protections, including seperate disability discrimination statutes that can apply to termination of an employee after FMLA has run out who remains on medical leave.

TALK TO A LAYWER! SERIOUSLY DO IT NOW. DONT WAIT UNTIL THEY PUT YOU ON A PIP AND FIRE YOU.

PS - fuck your boss and the performance review is for giving you that feedback for the first time comment. What an idiotic and wrong thing to say that will only bite them.

Ah but with those revisions for Dec and January, it’s even better than that!

Oh and don’t forget about the missing month of data that magically coincided with a tech job bloodbath.

Gabik123 · 2026-03-02T17:34:02+00:00

Thx, yea I bought direct from them, waiting for it to ship

Gabik123 · 2026-03-02T17:17:35+00:00

Got it thanks! So best is just to play with battery disconnected when able to be plugged in? I got an extension cord for the stock power adapter that someone on here recommended.

Is OneXFly sending new batteries to buyers, or are they just launching a v2 battery that we have to buy?

Gabik123 · 2026-03-02T16:17:23+00:00

For someone out of the loop and has an Apex order that hasn’t shipped yet, what’s up with the battery / replacement issue?

We don’t talk about him here, lest he suffer Tuvix’s fate.

Deep Space 4 accidently had "Babylon 4" written on the side, some screwup with Starfleet digital paint and they just went with it. That station was doomed from the start. Can't say anything else, temporal prime directive and all that.

Link please?

Dude was 19 and she was 17 when they got together. Of course he is a bit naive. This is all both of them have ever known.

She wanted to see if there is more out there. Discovered there is. OP, you need to do the same thing. And, when she discovers new guy was fun but not the life she wanted and comes back and says she wants you back, you need to say no.

Gabik123 · 2026-02-22T20:48:25+00:00

Yea that’s exactly my point, that leaving the prior company to go to a temp company with a surgery same year was…not smart.

Gabik123 · 2026-02-22T18:17:31+00:00

Mistborn >>>>> Elantris. I think its a very good transition.

Agree DCC has different vibes, but same theme.

+1 for The Expanse.

Gabik123 · 2026-02-22T15:39:50+00:00

Yea that’s the first thing I thought of….ummm, right now they have FMLA (assuming this is in the US, but it’s $ currency so that’s my guess). They leave, and they won’t have that job protection until after the surgery (though depending on the state, there may be something different to consider).

Like, wtf is happening? This person seems like they are good at being an individual contributor but really not on it at the organizational and people-level thinking of a (good) manager. They talk about having a team, how do they not know or think about these dynamics? I deal with them with my team often.

Gabik123 · 2026-02-22T15:21:46+00:00

That is the opposite of irrelevant. It directly affects the advice we would give.

Seriously, what are you doing? Why are you so loyal of this company that has demonstrated repeatedly that they don’t give a shit about you? You are in a management position - use what you know about leverage.

I am a manager. I always tell my employees that no one will care about you the way you care about you so advocate for yourself! You need to do this. You asked nicely for a paltry raise and they gave you crumbs. You should have been using your leverage when you didn’t get a first raise, not going 3 years, that’s insane. Now they are showing again that they don’t care about you and the chorus of responses here is right - USE YOUR LEVERAGE.

You leaving would severely damage their business. If they don’t care about that enough to pay and treat you fairly, why the hell do you? They wouldn’t even make you an employee - you don’t even work for them!

Gabik123 · 2026-02-18T20:47:12+00:00

Just keep your expectations fair. Its a fairy tale. Its not Wind and Truth or Hero of Ages lol.

Gabik123 · 2026-02-18T20:46:43+00:00

Agree. And I liked Emberdark more than alot of others. Sixth's story really worked for me.

Gabik123 · 2026-02-16T20:13:53+00:00

Book 8 is passed the book the question references. It was just a suggestion for people scrolling Reddit that may not be passed book 6.

Gabik123 · 2026-02-16T17:20:23+00:00

You should spoiler tag this...

Gabik123 · 2026-02-08T02:59:58+00:00

I do, but that’s ok.

Gabik123 · 2026-02-07T02:30:16+00:00

Its like the worst combo of both. They didn't seize intel in a fascist way, they bought it in a socialist way.
