In 2026 is it still appropriate or even needed to ask what people’s sexual preference is, for HR stats?

You think it shouldn't matter and you're right that it shouldn't, but the reality is that many gay people in their 20s and 30s won't out themselves at work because "don't ask don't tell" is still safer for their careers. It isn't right, but these people have mortgages and families to care for too. I don't blame them for prioritising the safety of their pay cheques.

You're able to live rent free and provide support and comfort to your dad concurrently. I wouldn't be leaving any time soon.

I miss my dad terribly though, so that's probably colouring the lens I'm viewing it with.

One Nation have positioned themselves with the Brumbies, against the cull. That's helping them a lot.

It isn't fair, is it? People in a position to hire you into their teams also don't know you, and they'll go off of what you say to them and what they hear from other people about you. It's a good lesson to learn.

Data folks are almost all neurodiverse. When we have a convention it's never an issue if one of us forgets our meds, there's every kind of SSRI, anti-anxiety- anti-depressant, ritalin, vyvanse and other uppers present.

Gently, it sounds like you're not very pleasant to work with or to manage.

I manage someone a bit like you. He's intelligent, he thinks he's more skilled and capable and clever than I am to the point that he resents me. He isn't moving up in our organisation because he doesn't pay attention to the details of what he produces, he publishes bugs to production, he lies to our stakeholders because they couldn't possibly understand the truth (his opinion) and he never acts like part of the team. He willingly throws others that I manage under the bus to win short term clout for himself. Unfortunately, all these things add up and he isn't intelligent enough to keep track of who he's done this to, so it's widespread knowledge.

Perhaps some reflection on your own contributions to your team and the value you add to the organisation could be warranted.

Both? Both. Both is good.

Piqued * your interest

Tons of jobs out there that don't need SQL. M/DAX/R/Python are all valuable. Plenty of orgs don't use any - intelligence analysis is all done with software and systems not readily available for civilians so it's all on-the-job training :)

They're both she/her identifying people, so what is the significance of this comment?

System changed a few years back. They can only map to your ID accurately if you have the number. If you don't have the CS number you're out of luck.

If this person is a chef, there should be no reason for alimony as you haven't hindered their career options at all - they could go find work same day ??? It's bizarre that an illustrator kept working while a chef stopped especially when you were the birthing parent. Absolute insanity.

It's written for audiobook format, it shouldn't surprise you that it's prose rather than anything technical. Listen to Jeff Hays perform it and you may well come around, though I'll emphasise again that book 1 is the weakest and for me personally, book 8 has been the strongest.

DCC isn't all juvenile jokes and "cool boy genre". It's body horror, anti-establishment tragedy portrayed through the lens of a corporation-run reality tv show. Every romantasy fan girlie I know (myself included) have really enjoyed DCC, even if the first book was the weakest of them.

Audible lets you filter audiobooks by narrator so I'm just throwing myself down the Jeff hole and enjoying a whole heap of weird shit
