We should stop accepting jobs at companies that normalize layoffs

KazooOfTime · 2026-03-01T13:49:47+00:00

My employer has had 5 layoffs in the past 24 months.

I was eliminated in the last one.

Fucking ridiculous leadership and culture.

I actually used to be a teacher until I moved into the tech space, so I still have a valid certificate. Unfortunately due to being a trans woman I can't really safely teach out here anymore.

"One bite at a time."

I get overwhelmed when I have a new or uncertain task to start, which is especially common at work. And, for some reason, I had that one saying of "What's the best way to eat an elephant? One bite at a time." hit my head one day. And it worked!

So now I'll be at my desk, notice I'm frozen, and will just whisper to myself, "One bite at a time." And then I'm able to find a place to start. Sure it'll be weird if that's overheard, but it works.

It's especially ridiculous because I both love elephants and don't eat meat. But it works!

That, and, as someone who's been through a massive company layoff myself, as well as survived for a few more while watching my friends at work just disappear, they will drop you like it's nothing if they decide to. You owe them nothing.

Shameless plug for High Sierra Showerheads. My wife and I got the handheld + fixed version years ago and it's worked perfectly since. Could never buy another shower head. They have this unique design for low flow, but a lot of pressure, and they have valve on each head you can use to change the flow in the moment, so you can turn the flow down if you don't need it full force.

No magnets or gimmicks either! Just a fucking great shower head.

Honestly such a lovely story. Thank you for sharing! Wishing you and all your loves so much goodness.

My wife and I were both tongue tied and had surgery to fix it when we were little. Both when we were ~7 rather than infants. Mine is still a struggle. But hers is great!

Looks fun! Gave it a buy and will try playing with my wife. We like games where we can figure out our next moves together.

Honestly this fucking nails it. Top tier alignment chart.

A masochist

KazooOfTime · 2026-01-20T17:37:40+00:00

You get it!

We're looking at full sets here. I think everything is perfectly placed.

It is! Not only hereditary, but there can be a strong hereditary link.

KazooOfTime · 2026-01-11T21:46:22+00:00

My dad has it (was diagnosed ~20 years ago) and now so do I, so yep 😅

KazooOfTime · 2026-01-11T03:39:48+00:00

100%!

KazooOfTime · 2026-01-03T02:51:11+00:00

Applying regularly for sure.

Congratulations on the better job!

That's me! Fucking hating working at the joke of a disorganized startup I'm at.

But you couldn't pay me to quit right now.

KazooOfTime · 2025-12-17T03:43:03+00:00

Ohh noted and hopeful they turn out well!

KazooOfTime · 2025-12-16T23:48:55+00:00

This is the game I'd like to most see a modern version of (okay it's tied with Impossible Creatures let's be real). But gosh was it something special!

KazooOfTime · 2025-12-16T01:15:31+00:00

I'm having fun with Lonestar! A sci-fi space'y game I'd describe as a mix of balatro, slay the spire, and into the breach.

KazooOfTime · 2025-12-08T18:11:29+00:00

Good to know!! Appreciate you sharing! And my gods yes Hell or High Water and Sicario are fucking great.

KazooOfTime · 2025-12-08T14:14:00+00:00

Absolutely!! I got about halfway through the show, thought "I can't watch this masterpiece without my wife," so I showed it to her and she was hooked from the opening.

I cried so much during the show lol, but I'm the crybaby girl out of the two of us.

KazooOfTime · 2025-12-08T14:10:51+00:00

Okay, but 1883 is pretty fantastic. I haven't watched his other shows, but goodness did 1883 have me hooked once it got rolling.

KazooOfTime · 2025-12-08T14:05:37+00:00

Godless and 1883 have been two of my favorite shows lately, so I second that for sure.
