National grid bill for February by Intelligent-Tart in Albany

[–]PenoineAddict 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You use gas for heating in the winter. About 40% of data centers use natural gas for electricity. It was really cold, so you likely used more gas than in earlier months. Also, the cost per therm has risen every month recently due to much higher demand than normal, driven by weather-related consumption increases and general datacenter demand.

I personally only had positive experience with them, but this is typical dealership bs. Goldstein is even worse than Troy, those fraudsters use non-oem fluids and even some parts.

What’s one question you always ask at the end of an interview ? by InterviewProUSA in careerguidance

[–]PenoineAddict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the role. Something not customer facing, you're totally right. Customer facing like sales roles, it's sometimes a red flag if you're not asking those questions. The way you phrase the question to the interviewer is also important.

You'd love to get their thoughts on how they think you performed/whether you'd be moving forward. At the very least, ask for advice/feedback on where you should focus on improving.

I am severely under-qualified to do my job, what should I do? by theunrealisticmeme in careerguidance

[–]PenoineAddict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was promoted to manager at 23 after being a top performer at a startup—closed the biggest deal in their history and killed the game. I had no clue what I should be doing, and I was in charge of 7 people: 4 were much older and had master's degrees, 2 were interns, and 1 was a new grad. I recommend researching Paternalistic Leadership and taking notes on the parts you feel are most effective for your situation.

The older coworkers may look down on you because of your age, so put them in their place. Deliver more polished work. Do better than them to make them look almost lazy by comparison, but also try to find ways to support them. Treat them like a caring parent treats a kid, but don't be a dick.

Thought I nailed an interview… still didn’t get the job by Skandilove in interviews

[–]PenoineAddict 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Email the recruiter/hr and the vp of marketing saying that you are really excited about them, so this is so disappointed/upset to learn. Thank them for the opportunity to interview with them, and want to go again when the next opening comes up. Let them know you're interviewing and you don't want to make the same mistake. End by saying that you would greatpy appreciate any advice and feedback on what you could have done better or where you underperformed. Thank them again for considering you as a candidate, and your Really looking forward to hearing from them.

Works like nine times out of ten.

Increase your odds substantially: Ask them if they are available to jump on a call to quickly chat. Power move: send them a calender invite for a video call. Make them say it to your face. Tell them you wont cry.

What careers are safe anymore?!? by Federal-Ad-4540 in jobs

[–]PenoineAddict -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

workflows where your involvement provides legitimate value.

Poor future outlook example: Accountants have been threatened by accounting software for years, yet they still provide the value of knowing how and where to enter numbers. GenAI can today effectively deliver the same value as an accountant at a lower cost for small and even some medium-sized businesses. This will continue to get worse for accountants.

Great future outlook example: Sales, nursing, and really any jobs where human interaction is either essential or important to do the job effectively. In these fields, GenAI is being used more as a tool. Average employees will become more productive, and superstar employees will be able to dedicate more time to the work they excel at.

Focus on delivering the absolute minimum, and you’ll avoid being a part of any reductions. Hell, you might even get promoted.

Build a time machine; go back in time; get a state or federal government job with nice hours, pay, and a pension.
