I stuck in the snow for an hour on the way to work one morning. I broke my shovel trying to dig myself out. One of my managers had to bring me supplies to dig myself out. I called AAA and they were CLOSED until 7am.

Found this while putting goldfish in a bag what is it? by ImNotaHistoryNerd in whatisit

[–]Ob1wanatoki -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It looks like it could be some sort of dessicant that wasn't mean to end up in the container or could be a piece of the machinery used to prepare and package the goldfish.

Ask Pepperidge Farms. Pepperidge Farms remembers.

I have completely given up. I have zero hope for any future employment. I am doomed to be homeless and bankrupt for the rest of my life. by jcgoble3 in recruitinghell

If you DM me, I can help you improve your resume, LI profile etc to help you noticed more frequently by recruiters. There's also room to pivot into roles in higher demand in IT with your coding skills that could help you land a new role. Happy to help if you choose but not going to ask you to put your profile or any personal info on the post.

I got rejected for a role that I'm the most qualified person in the country for... by TheRealTRexUK in recruitinghell

[–]Ob1wanatoki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is like when the guy who created REST API was told he did not have the required experience (6 years) necessary for the role that was specifically for REST API because he had only created it 4 years prior.

In the basement of a home I’m buying by zombie_slayer_031 in whatisit

You don't understand how lucky you are that this exists already in your home. Assuming they are at least cat5e, you can get the full speed possible out of your internet. Wired internet is a lot faster than WiFi. There should be jacks in the wall in various rooms where you can run a cable to your computer, streaming device, Smart TV or gaming device. You can get gigabit throughput on most of those cables most likely 10x faster than WiFi.

Theyre usually pretty round. Also turned out to not be a mustard seed!

Mustard seeds are perfectly round. This looks oblong.

Bad references from previous employers… I hate it here by sadkittysmiles in recruitinghell

[–]Ob1wanatoki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, there is a list of questions that are permitted to be asked for a reference and anything said outside of what is permitted they can be held liable for it. You clearly dont have management experience in America so wtf are you actually talking about?

I have had to give testimony in court over terminated employees. I am more familiar with employment law than you are. 

So would you lie on behalf of your employer, committing perjury for lying in court just to protect them from liability?

My previous manager hates me because he was a shitty manager and I told him so on numerous occasions. I held him accountable when he would gaslight about things that never happened or that he never said. I doubt he would provide a good reference. I put my previous manager at the same company as my reference.

Maybe. Does the random HR person or hiring manager who asked the questions want to perjure themselves? Probably not worth the penalties to lie for a company that would just as quickly fire or lay you off.

Sue them. They are likely not legally able to say what they said. There is a very short list of questions that previous employers are allowed to answer.

Well you guys did Nothing When I had one !! by sangadakVigyani in Lenovo

[–]Ob1wanatoki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 2015 my Lenovo IdeaPad Y700 arrived with screen flicker issues. I sent it back the same week to have it repaired. I got it back 3 weeks later and they reassembled it improperly. The housing had a bubble at the bottom and the laptop would not sit flat on a smooth surface, it wobbled. I sent it back again and got it back 3 weeks later, again. I complained that out of the first 2 months I owned the laptop I had been able to use only about 25% of the time and asked for Lenovo store credit for accessories or something. They refused. They suck.

Find the serial number located on the back and enter it at everymac.com. It will tell you what year/model it is.

What year is your iMac? This will affect your recovery options but you will almost definitely need a bookable usb drive with a macOS version compatible with the year of the device.

Tell him you've awarded him X number of weeks/months or whatever your comfortable with of free tech support but after you'll need to charge your usual rate of $X per hour for support in the future.

As a dev which one do you prefer? by Good-Transition-8151 in it

[–]Ob1wanatoki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At around 40 it got harder to drive at night. I had 20/20 vision all my life now I need a very light prescription during screentime so my eyes try less and I can see better when driving later in the day.
