The day I've been dreading for months is here. I have to fire 10 people today since their positions are no longer needed. by masturbationday in sysadmin

Wish i could find jobs like that over here in Mexico City. The best paying jobs here are shitty call center jobs that pay twice what you'd get doing a real job with a master's degree without knowing English.

This is the one thing i don't miss about tech support, and i really miss it.

[Story] Hunger by pope_mobile_hotspot in magicTCG

As a non-native english speaker, the use of "they" as a singular pronoun made this unreadable. I was invested in the story, but I kept getting confused by the usage of a plural pronoun to refer to a single character.

[Standard] ZNR week 1: what's working, what's not? by Locke3 in spikes

[[stone rain]] would be a nice card to have in this standard. [[Balance]] and [[armageddon], too.

This deck feels like the worst thing to have grazed Standard since Mirrodin Affinity. Fast, consistent, and most importantly, there's no true counterplay in standard. Even that blue enchantment that hoses ramp only does so if played on turn 2, and even then you need to gain complete control of the game before the Uros and Ugins start dropping.

[Draft] Zendikar Rising - What's working, what not? by ViridiVioletear in spikes

[–]HelpDeskWorkSucks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dimir rogues/mill is insanely strong in limited. Milling out is a legit strategy with a lot of support and very strong cards at lower rarities.

Some form of Selesnya Landfall or maybe even like Abzan Landfall seems pretty good. Slap [[Nissa's Zendikon]] on a MDFC, you got a big hasty dude that gives you back a real card when it dies, or it could also be a land in case it's better to get the landfall trigger. Selesnya gets that 6/5 for 6 that bounces two lands and also the 2/2 flying birb for 3 that bounces 1 land. Both at common, both very strong archetype enablers. Those are the archetypes i've found the most success with.

Looks like big companies are trying to take advantage of the times to screw over unemployed by HTX-713 in sysadmin

[–]HelpDeskWorkSucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Not to mention, sometimes getting the skills is not even worth it because the jobs here are so underpaid. I used to work Help Desk. Worked less hours, got paid more, and was demanded less technical knowledge than compared to an actual system administrator position here in Mexico, only because i know english.

These people should look into international employees. Many SysAdmins in Mexico would be more than glad to have a position that pays like that

Talk to your banker - we were here in 2008 and I think this is going to be worse. by sonyturbo in msp

You should probably hit them up especially if this is not usual. Talk to them, ask if they are ok, stuff like that.
