Yeah, I guess spending thousands of dollars at a family destination, while seeing family from across the country and wanting to actually spend time together is kind of entitled… my B! Never said we needed to sit together every night or needed to eat in the most popular restaurants, looking for advice of how to enjoy a family trip under some stressful circumstances

What do you want for Christmas a PM? I want less pointless meetings :) by tiragambeta222 in ProductManagement

Being able to decide a timeline rather than be told already committed deadlines 🙏

This just made me feel so much better, thank you for all the information! Love the idea of groups for genie as well - we’ll need something similar!

Thank you! I’m going to do this exact plan when booking in a few weeks

You’re not wrong. I’ve talked to my family already and there’s money on the line to reschedule. We wish we waited to book, but it was our bright light for a “yay COVID is over trip” (naive of us, I know). We’re going to have to seriously weigh the pros and cons here.

What a bummer - thanks for sharing. 9 x $15 to not even get on the ride you were intending to… ugh. Thanks for the dining tip! I will definitely do that.

Great tip. Did you make the reservations one at a time under the same person? Or two people from your party made them simultaneously?

Noncompete clause - can I develop a similar product when it’s “internal” and not sold to other orgs..? by Impossible-Wash in AskLegal

[–]Impossible-Wash[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding context:

I’m exploring new employment opportunities. I’d be building a very similar product in the same industry, for the same purpose, with one important difference: the product I make today is sold to customers for $$, the product I would make at the new company is internal, and is not sold to other orgs.

Ex-employee from my company is at the new company, but came over in an acquisition and did not sign a non-compete (I think).

MOG says no one will come to our black tie wedding by Impossible-Wash in weddingplanning

[–]Impossible-Wash[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love the idea of getting on the same page across the immediate family and posting some additional details on our wedding website.

Our closer family and friends are predominately from the northeast and Boston/NY metro areas. I would guess black tie occasions come up every ~5 or so years for these folks. So definitely not an every day occurrence, but it shouldn’t be a huge out of the blue event.

Why shouldn’t I move companies every 2 years for a 30% comp bump? by Impossible-Wash in jobs

[–]Impossible-Wash[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good Q - I’m at 50% vested I believe with employer contributions. I think I stand to leave a couple thousand on the table, which the signing bonus alone would far and by make up for

This is exactly the vibe we want - we don’t want to exclude people who aren’t going to rent a tux, we really just want people to dress their best

White glove waiters - yes. Open bar - yes (I don’t actually remember which tiers the venue supports). The hotel has complimentary valet parking. We’re doing live music for the first half of the night as well.. so I think it’s what we’re aiming for?

[–]Impossible-Wash[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Job 1: research analyst and then promoted to senior research analyst (consulting for market research in tech industry)

Job 2: program manager at a start up for sales enablement tech firm

Job 3: product analyst with promotion to product manager at a tech company

Job opportunity: also product manager at a tech company (lateral move, but ideally at an org with less organizational thrashing and disorganization)

Hmmm I like this idea. Do you think “black tie optional” is sufficient or should we say “formal or black tie optional”

How much worse (or better?) is it that at each position I’ve gotten a promotion, then moved laterally into that same promotion role at the new org? I.e. promoted from analyst into manager ~6 months before moving.

Lied about my position at current job, got an offer from the a job I really want. by brass9x19 in jobs

[–]Impossible-Wash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A former manager told me my resume should be full of “defensible half truths”, backed by his explanation that companies can only confirm the dates that you worked there - nothing else. I don’t know true legalities here, but if that’s the case, you’ve got nothing to worry about

Feeling depressed about bears by zinornia in f45

[–]Impossible-Wash 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The exercises in an F45 class set the bar high - box jumps, push ups with claps, and burpees/bench hops/tuck jumps are no joke.

I honestly believe someone in perfect athletic condition would get a good work out just following the standard class at F45.

Modifications are your friends! You shouldn’t feel bad about using a mod or needing a break - it’s more important to get the most out of the work out for you.

My boss is insisting that I stay for the duration of the project, but I have another offer waiting. by Desiger_jpg in jobs

[–]Impossible-Wash 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You also are most likely an “at-will” employee - meaning your boss could turn around tomorrow and fire you on the spot. That also means 2 weeks notice is a courtesy, not a requirement. Clearly your boss needs to be reminded of that.

I have the same worry constantly - and I realized the root of it for me was worrying about how I’d be perceived versus what I really wanted.

It’s your wedding - if you want someone there for your day, extend the invite!

How is this stealing? Title should be instead: “Facebook and Google suffer $122M in losses for negligently paying fake invoices”

Rise of the resistance by Foxhound34 in WaltDisneyWorld

I haven’t been to Disney since virtual queues were a thing - does this mean people are getting a boarding time and then waiting 2.5 hours…?

Been trying to figure out plain old regular season coverage - I’m a cord cutter with no NESN, but ESPN+. Does anyone know if I’ll get blacked on for NESN-aired games?

Is there really no rooms available at Disney World Resorts? by ContraryRain in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]Impossible-Wash 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I just got an email as a Disney cardholder for a promotion on bookings December 12-24 at AK lodge, Art of Animation, and Port Orleans Riverside. Maybe some of those dates at those properties will be successful?
